#mermay without the mermaids

May 3: Twisted

I was torn between the Twist and Twisted Sister. I might go back and do the latter too, because I think it would be funny for Grott to be decked out with long hair and makeup and leather fishnets.

Mer-May day 1, we’ve got red-life Scott.

#my art #really rushed because I need to finish a thing for a show today and I have like… 57 minutes and the colors were not working and I wanted to #paint it but that wasn’t working out… hh. #I like the idea that at the start of the series he’s just some guy then after moving to the island he starts growing coral on him. then on #yellow the coral becomes visible his hair starts to turn to tentacles at the roots his ears get little webbed spikes and he gets a tail #without removing his legs. and then on red he’s like this but we’re working of h20/mako mermaids logic so once he’s dry he has legs again #and like… cursed pirate maybe??? idk… that’s more of a Martyn thing but he’s some sort of cursed sea-farer #limited life #scott smajor #limited life smajor #dangthatsalongname #idk all the ways to tag this guy but there’s my attempt #btw he’s hanging out in the moat between the bamboo and sugarcane #mermay #mermay 2023

"Mermay 2"

Sayu time!

#nsr #no straight roads #nsr sayu #mermay 2023 #mermay #eriarts #the thing about mermaids #is you kinda have to draw the whole body #otherwise they are just people #and i have a hard time drawing bodies without an environment #so i'm gonna be subconsciously pushing myself #to make backgrounds lol #anyway #happy with how this turned out!

Master Lugia --- --- --- Several weeks seemed to pass, and he finally had gotten comfortable eating raw fish, as well as being comfortable with his new body. Luna had also taught him to hunt, as she didn’t want to provide for him. He was an adult after all, and he needed to know the basics was her argument whenever he failed to catch anything, but he slowly got a hang of it, which seemed to please the mermaid greatly. After weeks of staying in the same cave, she could smell the strong odor of the dead fish they had been eating and wanted to leave, knowing that predators would be finding them with ease. As soon as she told him, he agreed and off they went. He did struggle a little with his tail, but managed to get into a rhythm that worked for him, and the movements became quite fluid. They stayed close to some reefs, making sure they could hide if needed, as well as her showing him the different species of fished that were roaming around at their own pace. While watching them closely at a reef miles off from where they had stayed for a while, all the life around them vanished within seconds. They both looked confused and looked behind them, seeing a massive figure in the distance. Without hesitation, they hid behind some of the reef, watching closely. Luna then gasped lightly, which made him flinch and started to worry. It’s master Lugia! // she said excitedly. Master…Lugia? // he repeated, looking confused, but were very much alert of the presence. Yes! He’s usually around Johto and Kanto, but it seems he has taken a stroll. Better not disturb him, as he can get very angry… // she said, gesturing for them to silently swim off. Despite the merfolk in the distance, Gladion felt uncomfortable and decided to take another look, making sure it was safe to move, only to look up at a massive leviathan passing above them. His mouth were fully open in awe, as he had only read about leviathan's in books and seen them in several fantasy movies, but seeing one in real life were something he had never expected to experience. Luna saw his expression and couldn’t help but to giggle softly, finding him adorable. The size of this merfolk were incredible, and made him wonder how they kept themselves hidden, considering their humongous size. Since he were rather stunned by the sight, Luna figured that it was a good time to settle for a while, finding a place to sleep for the upcoming night. --- --- --- Long overdue Mermaid AU update!  And a wild Lugia has been spotted! 8D Art(C)ScandiYatt
