DCA Subnautica AU
Version #2 of the designs, including the bioluminescence! + fun tidbits on each of the goobers and a visual on Y/N!
Eclipse is up first!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Theirs was the first design I drew out in any detail (as shown in the crude MS Paint drawing), so it's the one that needed the most work. Even after making the more detailed version with the lights, I still ended up changing things as I got a better grasp on what direction I wanted to head in. Fun lore tidbit! Eclipse is a freak of nature and should not look like that! They're properly split down the middle between day and night. Also I messed it up in the drawing because I was tired when I made it, but they're also covered in scars and bite marks.
Sun !!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I did Sun next, and here I had a better idea for what I was going for. There were still a few problems with this design though, which got changed. This is also where I started drawing the pattern on the tail, which I felt looked weird in this picture. Fun tidbit! Sun has an inability to express his feelings in the appropriate fish mermaid way, leading to much confusion.
Moon !!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Moon was done last. Once again, I learned from this drawing and changed Moon's design to match, however Moon is the one that remains the most unchanged! I knew what I was going for by the time I got to him each time, so I guess that helped. Something I did alter, however, were some of the lights. I found that they either blended together too much or weren't as visible as I would have liked. Fun tidbit! This is pose actually based on a scene in one of the chapters. It was actually one of the earliest written scenes.
Y/N, my beloved <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I did 2 versions of Y/N, one with longer hair and one with shorter. It was important for me, when writing the story, that I kept the person I'm imagining as vague as possible, with the only physical descriptions being "physically fit" and having a few scars (for plot reasons), so this is only for me and whatever drawings I do. As a result of trying to keep it vague, I ended up going with the shorter hair (though in the final reference I made it a bit longer than shown here). Fun tidbit! The green is because whenever I'm sketching, I have 4 colours I sketch in to differentiate parts of the picture (usually background vs foreground or different people), and green was the one I used here (red, blue and purple were taken, I'm sure you can understand why). It ended up sticking, since I didn't want to go with the orange that's on Ryley's suit in order to avoid possible confusion.
That's it for now! At some point, I'll post the full references for each of them, but until then, the next thing I post will probably be chapter 1!

Baby mer Sun!! And close-ups of my favourite parts of him
I think this is the first kinda-finished mer Sun design I ever posted lmao he doesn't cross my mind sorry😭 but anyway!! I'm really proud of how this came out especially considering that I spent like only hour and a half on this. I tried to convey kind of a mix of jellyfish and normal looking mermaid?? Idk if worked but he looks very edible. Also there are some subnautica motifs in his design too<3

when you’ve worked with mers for years, you can tell the difference between mers just trying to be friends with you and mers trying to court you
(not that these two are trying to be subtle in any way)

[ID: The first image is a digital sketch of Y/N holding Sea Butterfly!Sun in a large fishing net. Y/N stands to the right of Sun wearing a wetsuit. They are facing slightly right, with their right hand on their hip and the other hand supporting the handle of the net that rests over their shoulder. They are looking back at Sun with an amused smirk. To the left of them, Sun is slightly larger than human-sized. His whole body is inside the net besides his arms and head which are leaning onto the handle of the net. The net bends with his weight, and his crossed arms cradle his head as he looks at Y/N with an amused smile. The lineart is orange and the background is white. The artist’s signature in the bottom left follows the curve of the net and reads, “MOCHA ILLUSTRATES”.  The second image is a digital sketch of Y/N holding Firefly Squid!Moon in a large fishing net. Y/N stands to the left of Moon wearing a wetsuit. They are facing slightly left and are looking down curiously at Moon in the net. They have their hands up as they hoist the handle of the net above their head to hold Moon up. To their right, Moon is slightly larger than human-sized. He is upside and his tentacles are spilling out over the rim of the net. His arms are cradling his head as he looks up at Y/N with an annoyed expression. The lineart is blue and the background is white. The artist's signature in the bottom right follows the curve of the net and reads, “MOCHA ILLUSTRATES”. END ID.]
taking a break from drawing fish to draw more fish
anyway here are some quick sketches of my mer boys at their original sizes (?) I may ink and render these later but no promises <3
