Watching Jaws and Little Mermaid at 7 did something to me. It made me a mer-obsessed, ocean fearing/loving cartoonist.

Here's a mini-comic I made for bluesky to help folks get started:
A post it board with a sign that says "WHO". In the signage is an octopus mermaid with a squid for a head head waving at the camera, he says: "Hi I'm Chico D. Mar The merman has his human arms crossed behind his back and three of his tentacles are pointing now at a comic panel. "I draw a webcomic called Wet Frontier! It's all about merpeople in the wild west." The post it board asks "WHERE" In the board we see a drawing of an abstract planet of water split into 3 layers. The top layer has an ice castle fenced by cactus rocks. In the middle is a watery landscape of ruins with a volcano down the middle. In the bottom is a cave system of glowing light. Some islands can be seen hovering in the space besides the planet. The outlines of monsters hover about the outer rim. There is text that reads "Welcome to Logue! The land of beginnings and endings!" The post it board asks "Why and how" The squid man is to the left and shrugs all his tentacles and he says, "I have no idea" A mermaid appears to the right and says "The answer is fish"

Arguably the most iconic mermaid and it's about time I drew a full version of her, this is based on her classic look but I did consider drawing the remake or even my own take

my only webcomic marketing advice is to keep posting the same character over and over until people get annoyed enough to check out whatever they're from

and if the character is good then they'll go "fine, you were right"

If theres one thing to not do its annoy a woman who can light stuff on fire while underwater.
The left side depicts two mermaids talking underwater, The blue mermaid is holding a picture of the pink mermaid in a propeller hat and says "Look what I found." The pink mermaid replies "You give that back this instant!" The middle depicts the pink mermaid holding a lighter and burning the picture. The right side shows the blue mermaid looking confused asking "How does that even work?"

How often should you post your comic? There's no Magic Number. Instead, I suggest FCS. Find an update schedule that enables you to post as Frequently as possible while maintaining Consistency (in quality and in schedule) and keeping each update Significant.

Second of today is Meris's Mersona, I like the pattern on his tail white and blue is a good combination. You can probably guess but the handle will be in the reply below

Our first request of the round and its of Spooky Fox Boy's OC Sally meeting one of my Mermaids, I chose Morag because I think her blue scales pair nicely with Sally's purple scales. If this image uploads properly You'll find Fox's handle in a reply to this image.

Urgh, made a big ol' mistake in uploading comic pages to the correct threads. Welp, I fixed it now, but I apologize for the confusion I'm sure was felt.

I learned recently that dolphins sleep with half of their brain at a time and switch between halfs until both are rested, apparently its so they can go up for air while they sleep and that kind of thing. Surely Fiona would use this ability in responsible ways only, truly, definitely, not a chance.
An image depicting two mermaids, One with a dolphin tail and one with a blue tang tail, The dolphin mermaid is resting with one eye open while the other says "Come on get up we need to go", To which the dolphin mermaid replies "Five more minutes?" in which the blue tang mermaid sighs and replies "Scoot over".
