I am worth following if you like mermaids and cats. I am known to draw at least one of those things.

Artist propaganda I’m not falling for (and you shouldn’t either):
ARTIST PROPAGANDA I'M NOT FALLING FOR: X Pulling all-nighters to make art proves you’re dedicated to your craft X True artists draw every single day X Only make friends with fellow artists cuz they’ll get you gigs someday X Freelancing is for artists who can't get a "real" studio job X Drawing fanart is cringe X Your portfolio should only have what studios want to see

Got the final character designs for the lead singer and bass player in PunkMaids done. I don't yet have a name for the shirtless hottie.
A tattooed shirtless bass player. He's muscular with dark skin, and sports dreadlocks (with the sides of the head shaven) held in a ponytail. Lead singer of the band who is called Rook. He has red shoulder length hair, with an option for him to wear it in a punk mohawk too. He wears an all black outfit with red tennis shoes. He also has a variety of tattoos all over his body.

#mermay day 26: Memory.
I used to watch The Little Mermaid on vhs (dubbed in Italian) every day when I was little. I guess that explains a lot about me.
A little girl with pigtails seen from behind as she’s sitting crosslegged on the floor. It is nightime and she is watching The Little Mermaid on vhs on an old school tv.

Betta Smaragdina Mermaid for Mermay 2025

This year there will be 6 new mermaids inspired by betta fish. Bettas are very popular among aquarium fish, there are more than 70 species and they are great for bright fantasy characters designs.

#mermay Day 18: Abracadabra. Of course I thought of Zatanna for this one.
A drawing of Zatanna as a mermaid, with her lower fish half magically sectioned so that her fins are peeking through the inside of a top hat she's holding in her hand

#mermay Day 14: Brave. I thought of a Joan of Arc-esque idea for this one.
A silvery mermaid surrounded by an army of narwahls is leading them towards the surface to attack a ship that pollutes the water with oil leaks.

I have a theme combo today for #mermay: 11. Guard x 12. Redraw
What did I redraw you ask? A drawing that’s over 30 years old made by yours truly!
A pink mermaid in a purple seahorse-drawn carriage is stopped by a blue mermaid wearing a roman style helmet; the blue mermaid is writing something on her shell-pad (presumably a speeding ticket).

Thanks so much again to @jadenite.bsky.social for this amazing drawing of my mermaid OC, Kale! She looks so good!!! 🤩
A mermaid with green hair and a pink sweatband looks upon a treasure with greed. She has tan skin, a green tail with scales going up her body. She has a messenger bag that is covered in pins and other goodies.

Skipping #mermay prompts this weekend and clearing my head with some random #doodles in a notebook.

It's #mermay time now. Day 8 theme is Atlantis. I was torn between the obvious choice (Kida) and evil hottie Helga, but Kida won out because I love her color scheme.
A drawing of Kida from Atlantis the Lost Empire as a mermaid.

I'm actually early this time with the #mermay prompt!
It's Myiazaki for day 7, and I chose to recreate the flying geese scene from Kiki'd Delivery Service, but as an underwater version :)
#art #noai
A mermaid version of Kiki from the eponymous Studio Ghibli animated feature, riding her broomstick and watching at a group of stingrays making their way through the water. The reference screenshhot, in which Kiki is human and she's flying along on her broomstick as she watches a group of wild geese soaring in formation over some green fields.

Day 6 of #mermay - Sweet Treat is the prompt.

I obviously missed the previous two, and #MayTheFourth.
A colorful scene: A shirtless dude with short white hair and lots of tattoos has an ice cream cone in each hand and is handing one of them to a curvy mermaid in a wheelchair. The mermaid is bald, but has the spiky texture of a puffer fish on her head and shoulders. She wears a black latex corset and her overall color scheme is light pink with hot pink accents.

Gonna post mermay and MaytheFourth drawings with a significant delay, because there's presidential elections here today and I'm currently following this subject intensely.

Mermay #3: Hair
Not very pleased with this one, might re-do it, or try a different idea altogether. Something feels off, but the concept is there.
#art #mermay
a mermaid and a punk singer, seen in closeup face to face. they are singing together with a hair spray can instead of a microphone. They both sport mohawks.

Ever since I started doing the #mermay drawings these days I’m feeling better about my coloring.

I kinda hated how I’ve been doing that in the past few years. But looking at these fast-paced challenge results I’m regaining some confidence about my art.

What is the scientific explanation for my linework looking better when I work in Clip Studio than in Procreate?

It makes no goddamn sense. On procreate it should mimic drawing on paper more closely than CSP, where I use a 10 yo tablet (no screen). Is because of muscle memory? Habit?

Okay, here we go: #mermay prompt 2 - Cosmic.
I thought about adding a little goldfish friend inside the helmet, but I feared it would look too crowded.
#art
A drawing of a mermaid in space. She has a full space suit, which looks rubbery and shiny and tailored to her mermaid shape (including the tail). The color scheme is hot pink, yellow, and blue. She has a fishbowl-like helmet, which is filled with water. Her hair is a short black bob.

Bear with me while I try to catch up to the official #mermay prompts, because I'm starting off 3 days behind. Prompt #1 is Mirror, and I decided to use most of this year's prompts to draw more PunkMaids!

#art #mermaid #OC
A drawing of a mermaid looking in a mirror, where the reflection is of herself, but as a human. In both versions of her body, she is designed based on Punk aesthetics: mohawk, black clothes, piercings.
