Dropping this very silly magma doodle here for your consideration (thank you @daycarefriendpickup again for hosting!)

This was a weird one akjfhgds @lurking-loaf and I couldn't decide what to do for this weekend's magma session so we ended up drawing each other A Shape (tm) to work off of! Which means any formal complaints regarding this piece can be forwarded to him lol /silly

Jellyfish Prince 💙

#better drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #Happy 'It took me a whole month to figure out what Mermay was all about'! #fun fact about me: prior to all this blog stuff I use to be really fascinated by jellyfish. #to the point they were one of the few things I could draw. #when I was trying to practice art before I started making these comics #I was constantly baffled by hair. I did not understand its form or its mysteries. #Then the ghost of my past jelly-loving self suddenly grabbed me by the shoulders and went 'Dude. just like jellyfish'. #cue me going 'Oh my god. Just like Jellyfish'. And then I kinda got the jist of it. #This is all to say that the majority of LWJ's appearances (especially early on) are 100% directly inspired by jellyfish #This idea has been lingering in my mind for months...being able to pull off an idea and translate it onto the page.... #nothing beats that feeling B'*) #This is teenji btw. He isn't complete unless he's on the verge of extremely frustrated tears. Sopping wet and biting. Just like...jellyfish #And now that I know mermay is a thing I finally have an excuse to dunk him into the water.

MERMAY 2024 MAIN CAST- look at my stupid, idiot little children, I love them so much. If I can keep up, this year is gonna be fun; I have angsty plots >:3

Relative size reference and anatomical ramblings below cut.

Here’s a vague size comparison thing for all of them. And a human for perspective

I really, desperately want to make an illustrated guide to my merfolk lore, because it’s extensive and I’m really proud of it. But that sounds slightly overwhelming, so idk, but here are some random scraps that pertain to these four. My fish mers aren’t allowed to have hair; they have a variety of different fins on their head to mimic it instead. Oviparous fish (e.g. remora) lay their eggs and their mer counterparts do likewise, and therefore don’t have nipples and/or breasts. Eggs of ovoviviparous fish (e.g. manta ray) hatch shortly before giving birth and do not consume anything resembling milk, so their mer counterparts do not have nipples and/or breasts. Viviparous fish (e.g. lemon shark) essentially nurse when in the womb, so their mer counterparts nurse after having given birth and have nipples and/or breasts. Mammals (e.g. monk seal) are self explanatory.

Also most animals hatch or are born with navels, because even in eggs, there’s a cord from the embryo to the yolk sack. Oviparous and ovoviviparous creatures just tend to be better at healing the scar. However, I’ve decided that mers are not as good at healing the scar, and thus, have bellybuttons.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

#also #every time I look at laklen all I can think of is a banana peel #and #I’m not sure how to feel about that #but I’m too lazy to change it #however I am considering tweeting how remmy’s hair fins are styled #not sure tho #we’ll see #yes I know it’s only February #but it’s never too early to start #mermay #merfolk #merfolk Art #mer character design #mer au #mermaid au #character design #artists on tumblr #small artist #my art #regular style #chibi style #digital art #also they may or may not be very roughly sbi based #leave me be #found family #every freaking MerMay it’s found family #I have problems #sbi #character ramblings

Drops this mer eclipse design early for mermay I like the design but at the same time it doesn’t feel like it’s working for me so I’ll likely redesign or rework him

The main idea that I’ll keep no matter what I end up changing is that he lives in areas of near pitch black darkness and therefore was born blind.

The luminescence helps attract fish to him and he hunts with echolocation using very high pitched clicks outside of human hearing. So you won’t hear him coming.

The frills around his head help with his echolocation as they are very sensitive to vibrations. They can fold back like an umbrella when needed.

Not sure if I’ll keep the transparent look or not but well it would help him look like a bunch of smaller glowing fish instead of one big fish with patterning. So his form would meld into the bag but I’m not sure I captured the transparency the best I’ll have to experiment more with what I wanted there.

I hope to make mer content this may like silly comics or something but no promises <3
