Day 25 of mermay, if this was december it'd be christmas. The prompt today is Gaming, A request from @/nikolakedx.bsky.social of their mersona underwater playing her switch 2. What are they playing? We may never know.

Day 24 of mermay and its Treasure: A request from @/totallyversusxxii.bsky.social of his mersona XXII hunting for treasure, and as we all know the X marks the spot.

Another bonus picture because I felt like it, I did Fiona and Morag in mermaid melody style and said it was a one off, thats still true but I felt like doing Maeve and Saoirse. Im a completionist at the end of the day so maybe I'll do the others in the future.

Day 23 of mermay, Museum. A request from @/gulop1th3cuz.bsky.social of his sona Wulfric with @/muskrat15.bsky.social's oc Aurora heading into Auroras museum with a new exhibit. Both characters I've drawn more than once and would gladly draw again if the situation arises.

Day 22 of mermay this time its Betta. You betta believe this was a request from @/sammas123.bsky.social of their sona as a betta tailed mermaid. They also asked how maeve transformations work so I'll answer that as well in a reply since im running out of space here.

Day 21 of Mermay is here if my calendar is to be believed, This time its Salmon. A request from @/crayregular.bsky.social of his oc's Dora and kristacio with Dora showing kristacio a marine animal of my choice. I chose the salmon since I was watching a nature documentary about them that day.

Day 20 of mermay with Seal. A request from @/funtimemadness.bsky.social of his sona as a selkie along with @/rustywolf14.bsky.social's OC Sirena on a sandy beach. Seals are great animals and its not a bad option if you had to be one/partly one.

Day 19 of Mermay with Clownfish, A request from @/mermaya.bsky.social of her introducing some fellow clownfish to @/izzydrawsforfun.bsky.social (I think, I never actually got the @ for her let me know if I got the wrong one.) Both very fun characters to draw.

A bonus comic, Did you ever wonder how Fiona decides which fish are her friends and which fish are food? Thanks to that bracelet Morag bought from Wally she can make a very informed decision about what to do with the fish she reels in.

Day 18 we're almost done with week three and today is Bat, as a request from @/lyrawren.bsky.social of their OC. I also kept this one simple since drawing these type of characters is very much new territory for me. What im wondering is if the bat wings function like manta ray fins underwater.

Day 17 of mermay is here and around these parts the prompt is Idol, Featuring @/trumpetdearie.bsky.social's OC's Reona and Cosmiel in their Idol outfits. I actually dont know too much about idols personally so I kept this one relatively simple.

Its day 16 of mermay with Advertisement. This was a request from @/ladyaubreyy.bsky.social and also features @/meramity.bsky.social advertising merfolk transformations, a great service indeed.

An unscheduled Fiona, Bet you didnt expect that. Part of the fun of being a mermaid for her is going out to different waters and seeing the different marine animals that inhabit them. Was this an excuse to draw a different ocean background? Yes. Yes it was.

Day 15 of mermay and were into the request weeks todays is Jellyfish, Featuring @/muskrat15.bsky.social's OC Serena. Its not often you see jellyfish mermaids but they're fun to draw all the same.

Day 14 of Mermay is Bottle, With Leia from harvest moon DS, since I did Rune factory's resident Mermaid it only made sense to do Harvest moons. Tomorrow the requests begin so if you were waiting on those you're wait is almost over.

Its Day 13 mermay: Mushroom, With Aqualea. Nintendo should bring her back, If a goomba can play baseball a mermaid can drive a kart.

Day twelve of Mermay, Spear: Who better for todays mermaid transformation than Judith from Tales of Vesperia, Yes I am just using these to recommend games I enjoy, I have over 200 hours in vesperia so its probably good.

Have to make a small addendum to this, I know the original closing date was the 14th but Im gonna have to change it to today as of posting this, Everyone who has already put in a request will have them done I just cant accept any new ones at the moment due to time constraints.

Heres day 11 for mermay: Save. Featuring Mermaid from the starfy who acts as your saving system. I kept this one simple since im also working on the requests and want to get hose out on time.

Day 10 of Mermay and the prompt for the day is Shark, Jeff counts for this right? No? Well you can have Squirrel girl as a mermaid. An underwater squirrel might seem far fetched but I get the feeling you could pitch quite the cartoon for it back in the 90's, throw in a sponge too for good measure.

Time for day 9 of Mermay, Rain. Featuring Pia from Rune factory 3. Her turning into her mermaid form in the rain was always a cool feature to me.

For week 3 and potentially 4 of Mermay Im opening up requests, You have till the 14th to enter and the rules are provided in the images, if you cant read them they have been transcribed in the alt texts. First come first served as always and if there are any questions feel free to ask.

Day 8 of mermay and this time its Gravity, featuring Kat from Gravity Rush in mermaid form, Last week was my own characters. This week will be established characters, then next week will be your characters if you so wish it. I'll have a post up later going over the rules so look out for that.

Its day 7 of Mermay marking the 1 week point, this one is Build. Speaking of builds once I get the music done (currently at 1% progress Yippee!) and fix all the bugs you can expect a demo build. As for the week going forward there will be a theme for, whats the theme? You'll just have to find out.

We're almost a week in with day 6 of mermay: Business. Before Maeve had her office she would go around to places where land dwellers gather near the water to provide her transformation services. Her practices might be sketchy but she does know how to build up momentum for her business.

Its mermay day 5: Octopus. If you're curious why she only has 6 tentacles im counting her arms as 2 limbs making for 8 total, Shouldnt I count the hair in that case? My official statement on that is "Nuh-uh!". Whats a saltwater mermaid doing in a fresh water lake you ask? Thats her business.

Here we are at Day 4: Alternative. Mainly because I wanted to answer on what would Fiona and Morag would end up like if the Fish/Cetacean dynamic was flipped around. Fiona would have an angelfish tail and Morag would have an Orca tail, with Maeve you never know what you'll end up, seal, octopus etc.

Its time for day 3 of mermay: Store. I've mentioned before that Bridget is a seamstress but Ive never brought up that she sells her designs out of her garage which she converted into a store. Does that technically count as a Garage sale? Its better than the alternative of storing cars she cant drive

The Mermaid POD-Cast will be BACK this Wednesday with our MerMay episode! We recap MerMagicCon, discuss the MerMay art prompts, and talk about things you need to know for your first IRL pod meet or mermaid con! You won't wanna miss it! Our featured artist this month is @neojestar.bsky.social !!!

Heres a little extra in between the regular posts for the day, If you've ever wondered what Fiona and Morags first day in the ocean entailed heres your answer. youtu.be/nilkSWk9BJ8

Day two of Mermay: Surprise, Since it was definitely a surprise for me when @/mersaloon.bsky.social drew morag with one of his characters yesterday. Its only right I do the same. Go read his comic also, the artworks very good you'd probably enjoy it. Check back tomorrow to see what else is in store.

Its Mermay and I've got my own list of things to draw, Starting off with Day 1, Shore. I kept it simple to start with since its the start of the month. I also wont be revealing the full list since I like to keep surprises.

Happy first day of #mermay everyone! I'm not following the instagram prompt list this year. Instead I'm following my discord's prompt list. And today's first prompt is Day 1: Sing Featuring my lovely Catriona and the lovely Morag from @neojestar.bsky.social!

So recently I learned that ''Ren Fair'' was short for renaissance Fair and it blew my mind, I dont even know how I didnt put 2 and 2 together on that. So with that I decided to do a themed image for that, I then made another 3 because I liked drawing the outfits that much.

I dont really have a funny one liner or character trivia for this one I just thought the idea of a fish saying bait used to be believable was funny.

Despite Bridget being the most anxious of the cast she has never once been scared by horror movies/games, Media set on dry land especially doesnt scare her since she never leaves the water. By her logic she doesnt get scared by werewolfs since she'll never encounter a werewolf underwater.

It dawned on me I never made a reference for Fiona's land outfit, Fun fact its my favourite of the 3 outfits she has. There will also be a bonus post at the regular time today.

Nows as good as time as any to reveal the names of the manatee and clownfish mermaids, for those curious Aoife is pronounced ''E-fah''/''E-fuh''.

I recently found a copy of Legends ZA for cheap and decided to give it a go. Enjoying it more than I thought I would. Im not getting the dlc though, that gameplay loop combines timed challenges and resource gathering, 2 of my least favourite mechanics.

I realised that during that run of watercolors I forgot to do one for Maeve, so here she is sitting in her office

I wanted to try something slightly different and decided to see what Fiona and Morag would look like if they were Mermaid Melody style mermaids. Plus a little bonus image showing how a typical episode would go if Morag was in charge of singing the songs. This is just a one off thing by the way.

The ocean can be a dangerous place for those unprepared, Especially for Pirates who have the misfortune of being within Morag's throwing distance.

Bit late to the party on this one but I finally played Shadow Generations and it was pretty good. I liked 3D and 2D being split into their own acts instead of mishmashing the two like modern sonic's levels did, Also I find it really funny how borderline obsessed Black doom was with Radical Highway.

Been a bit since I've drawn the manatee mermaid, I knew that I wanted another air breathing mermaid to be a parallel for Fiona. Them both having grey tails however is entirely coincidental.

Maeve's main use for magic is her transformation spells, But she's also trained in general spells and specializes in water based spells, She can make ice/steam and manipulate waters shapes. She can also use magic to speak with animals but mainly uses it to speak with dogs.

Another addition to the ''something different yet still a half sea creature woman'' collection, Its Ren a character from my ''animated'' show. Its also not the first time i've posted a picture of her on here, scroll back far enough and you'll find them.

It was only a matter of time before Fiona got a water color, I've had my fun with it but i'll be switching over back to solid colors for now. I'll still do water colors here and there but I dont want to over do it. Its been a week of them now that seems like enough for the time being.

The 2nd of the wheel decided watercolours is Metal Sonic, Personally I'd love a game where metal gets to be the main focus again. He's such a wildcard character whenever he appears, He can go from nearly defeating the entire cast to getting one shot by batman.

The first of these 2 wheel decided watercolor images is @/muskrat15.bsky.social's Aurora out for a swim and coming across a new find for her human museum.

So since I forgot to set a cutoff on those suggestions I'll do that now since I've already spun the wheels, As for what went on the wheel there was 2 of my own picks, 2 suggestions from here and 2 that my irl friends picked. Today will be Aurora and tomorrows will be Metal Sonic.
