Mermay Special Prompt 4
Go on vacation, they said. We can watch Gotham, they said. Just go hang with and adjust to caring for kids, they said. Yeah, well no one said anything about getting cursed while at the vacation lake house, which okay, fine. But did it have to affect the kids too?
Bruce pressed his head in his hands, groaning in dismay as the children practically zoomed around the surrounding water with enthusiastic trills and squeals he could somehow understand. And through the air, to their increasing delight. Okay. Okay this is fine.
It wasn’t like he also somehow now had an extra child who looked like one at most that he had no clue as to where they came from. Said child wasn’t squirming in his arms, black scales and tiny fins akin to the setting of a sun twisting as they chirped. Definitely not.
Okay. Alright. He could figure this out. Probably…. hopefully…

“Faces from the Black Sea”
A series of drawings I started in 2018 and, of course, never continued. The idea was to practice my pencil work through several photo studies of Black Sea bottlenose dolphins. They have the most beautiful faces and markings, so a lovely subject for a study series like this. Alas, something or another came along and it never got further than these two drawings. Even though they’re older works I still very much like them! And I hope you will, too.
The original photograph references are here and here.

ALPACA-TOBER!
DAY 31!
PASSION! FLAVOR!
FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS!
Thank you all so much for reading!
I apologize for the inconsistencies and delays and I am grateful that you stuck with me to the end. There was also much more that I wanted to show, but the format and my lack of discipline made it difficult to include everything.
I would be lying if I said I was completely satisfied with this project, but I am proud of being able to finish this first attempt at it.
Thank you all again for sticking by and reading!
Please enjoy the story and we will see you next ALPACA-TOBER!
