Now for my way-too-long explanation for obvious design choices!
(Pls ignore how awful the trident looks)
The color scheme is based off the Mudskipper fish, a fish that can move on land (get it). I couldn't incorporate the blue spots without it looking a bit awful so i decided hey, he's a bioluminescent fish man now. The webbing is duh, the shark teeth why not, the tail disappearing might not make sense but it's so he can blend in with humans/not have it in the way. Everthing is mostly added bc it looks cool/fishy. I love me some merfolk.
Im thinking of making my own interpretation of the justice league/redesigning various characters bc when i hyperfixate on something, I HAVE to throw myself into a big project around it :')
OK SO I haven't come back to this in ages, I sadly have not found the time to give it the attention it deserves rn BUT I'm way too eager to share the bit of it I've done as unpolished as it is
I don't know if anyone remembers at all that animatic I planned on doing like what a year or so ago
I understand if not, that was ages ago but here's the part of it's storyboard (I guess animatic) that I did complete
