An illustration showing a full-body view of a handsome merman with short brown hair and a goatee. He has a strong and svelte upper body with a tail inspired by a betta fish, with blue scales and fins that gradate from navy to purple to bright red at the tips.

Part two of what will eventually be a 5-part merman transformation sequence commission for @merrow.bsky.social!

Rowen's moongazing is interrupted by a sudden wave surging onto shore, sweeping him off his feet as a miraculous transformation occurs. 🧜‍♂️💫
#merman #mermantf #mermaid #transformation
A comic page depicting the beginnings of a human man's transformation into a merman. The first illustration shows him standing in water coming up past his ankles looking down at himself as magic light swirls and sparkles around his legs. Three panels beside him depict his transformation into a merman as his tail grows in: first, his dorsal fin grows in over the waistband of his swimming trunks; second, his pectoral fins emerge from below where his human torso blends into his piscine tail. The last panel shows him losing balance and falling over as his legs disappear.

A friendly merman invites Rowen down to the beach, but not just for a swim... Have you ever wondered what's on the dark side of the moon? 🧜‍♂️💫

The merman leaps off the rock he's seated upon to meet the man at the beach, where he directs the man's attention up toward the sky.

Verso of Expedition 33 — as a centaur! 💪

Last time Verso was split in half, he lost track of his legs and needed to get a new set painted for him. They're a bit unconventional, sure, but Monoco's since taken quite an interest in Verso's extra feet 👣
@expedition33.bsky.social @benstarr.bsky.social
An illustration featuring Verso from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 as a centaur. He is dressed in his expedition uniform and is wielding the Dualiso in both hands. His lower half is horselike in its appearance, with a black hide and white stripes along his back and legs. He has golden hooves. Behind him is an art nouveau-inspired emblem adorned with Esquie's face and the number 33 in the bold, geometric lettering seen in-game. #centaur #taur #clairobscur #expedition33 #verso

A preview image showing to snazzily dressed people. The figure on the right is dressed in a purple pinstripe suit, and the figure on the right wears a glittery red dress and cools herself with a peacock-feather fan. From what's visible of their necks, it seems neither figure is human, as the man on the right seems to have the head of a snake, while the woman on the right appears to have the head of some kind of bear or other large mammal. #furry #furrysky #furrycharacter #furrycharacters

A commission for @tors396.bsky.social and @rikuthemermage.bsky.social 🌹

Here we see Jostein guiding Ethan to a secret spring for a bath. Ethan was grateful for Jostein's company — when it comes to matters of hygiene, all centaurs know it's good to have help when washing the hard-to-reach bits! 🧼✨
A picture depicting two centaurs walking down a forested path with a small settlement of centaurs visible in the background. One centaur is blond, with long hair he wears half-tied behind his head in an effortless bun. The other centaur has brown hair and wears a towel draped over his shoulders. Both centaurs are muscular and handsome. #centaur #taur #taurs

Part 4-ish of a merman transformation sequence commission for @merrow.bsky.social!

He's traded his life as a human for one under the sea to become the newest member in a pod full of hunky mermen. Can't say I blame him — wouldn't you make the same choice? 🧜‍♂️💫
#merman #transformation #mermantf
An illustration showing a merman inviting a man who has just transformed into a merman himself into the water. The new merman is looking back at his tail with great excitement as a pod of mermen silhouetted by the moon welcome him into the ocean.

He thought it would be most fun if we started with the scene where all his fins had grown in — I have to say, he wasn’t wrong! 🧜‍♂️💫
#merman #mermaid #transformation #mermantf
A man who has just transformed into a merman pushes himself up against the beach with one of his arms as he touches his newly grown tail with awe and excitement. His swimming trunks are still caught partway down his tail, the last remnants of his human form. He is smiling as magic light swirls around his red tail.

A sketch of Hector, Cassie's father, dressed in his signature yellow swimsuit. 💪

Until recently, Cassie and Odys were the only characters from 21 Bottles I’d ever drawn before, so even this simple sketch was a bit of a foray into the unknown. I'm excited to share more concept art with you all soon!
A drawing of a man from the waist-up dressed in a classic yellow swimsuit. He has dark, short hair and a scraggly beard, posed with his hand on his hip as he scratches the back of his head to look at something off-screen. He is rather muscular, with strong arms and defined pecs, but with a bit of a tummy bulging over his waistband in an attractive, controlled manner.

Added some colors and a background to the sketch of my merman mercenary — or mer-cenary for short!

His name is Talu 🐙 Not sure what else exactly I plan to do with him at the moment, but he’s here, he’s queer, and he’s brandishing a spear. Get used to it!
#merman #MerMay #MerMay2025 #octopus
A drawing of a muscular octopus-merman, otherwise known as a cecealia, cecaelius, or cecaelium, with long dark hair and a full beard. He is brandishing a spear and is clad in armor covering his shoulders and forearms. His skin his sunkissed and tan and his tentacles are a dark purple with red rings.
