I'm pretty late to the party, but I wanted to get in a little #MerMay post before the month's end~ These are just some drawings from my 2022 MerMay challenge series, hosted by @candykiki.bsky.social !

Week 1: Boxfish
Week 2: Jellyfish
Week 3: Sea Turtle
Week 4: Octopus
Candykiki MerMay Challenge 2022, Week 1: Boxfish A light brown-skinned mermaid with short, brown hair, and glasses. She is wearing a yellow shirt, slightly lighter than the color of her tail. Her tail has the black spotted pattern of a boxfish. She is performing a "jazz-hands" style motion. To the left of the mermaid, a photo of a real-life boxfish is displayed in a bubble-shaped frame. © 2022 Dr. Volk Productions, All Rights Reserved Candykiki MerMay Challenge 2022, Week 2: Jellyfish A pale-skinned merman with short, translucent blue hair that resembles the shape of a moon jellyfish. He is wearing a short shirt in the style of a toga with a seashell against his shoulder. His tail is pale and blue. To the right of the merman, a photo of a real-life moon jellyfish is displayed in a bubble-shaped frame. © 2022 Dr. Volk Productions, All Rights Reserved Candykiki MerMay Challenge 2022, Week 3: Sea Turtle A green-skinned mermaid with short, brown hair and freckles. Her torso is covered in the plates of a turtle shell, and she is wearing a turtle shell on her back. Her tail has the pattern of a turtle shell as well. She is swimming above a field of sea grass. To the left of the mermaid, a photo of a real-life sea turtle is displayed in a bubble-shaped frame. © 2022 Dr. Volk Productions, All Rights Reserved Candykiki MerMay Challenge 2022, Week 4: Octopus A dark brown-skinned merman with dreadlock hair and a large Rastafari cap. He is turned away from the viewer, giving a sassy "spoiled prince"-like expression. He is wearing a white, collard, button-down shirt. Instead of a traditional merperson tail, he has tentacles like an octopus. To the left of the merman, a photo of a real-life octopus is displayed in a bubble-shaped frame. © 2022 Dr. Volk Productions, All Rights Reserved

"Still Got the Magic In Me" (2024)

On my YouTube channel, my most loyal viewer requested that I replay a game called Magician Lord for the NEO-GEO - so I decided to redraw my original thumbnail for the series in its honor~

This is the first drawing where I used NTSC to make it look all VHS-y~
Remake of my original "Let's Play Magician Lord" thumbnail. Features my character, Volk Chamomile, dressed as the titular Magician Lord from the NEO GEO game. He is dressed as a wizard, with a witch hat cocked to the side, and a cape billowing behind him. He is concentrating an orb of light in front of him with a determined expression. Behind him is a sunset with lightning striking in the air. Originally uploaded April 26th, 2024 My original "Let's Play Magician Lord" thumbnail from Episode 1: "Dale of Evil Gods". Features my character, Volk Chamomile, dressed as the titular Magician Lord from the NEO GEO game. He is dressed as a wizard with a witch hat and a cape that billows behind him. He is concentrating an orb of light in front of him with a determined expression. Behind him is a stock image of lightning striking in the air.

🌼🍫Humanized Chocolate Cosmos 🍫 🌼

This is someone I drew based off an old challenge from @candykiki.bsky.social - draw a human flower!

This is the chocolate cosmos, native to Mexico. I decided to draw it as a male, interpreting the petals as a ruff. I also made a daguerreotype-style version
Humanized Chocolate Cosmos. A curly-haired man stands wearing a colonial Mexican suit. His neck is covered with an Edwardian-style ruff that matches the coloration of the cosmos 's petals.

His neck is covered with an Edwardian-style ruff that matches the coloration of the cosmos 's petals. There is a Sepia tone filter over the drawing to imitate the style of a daguerreotype photograph.
