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

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.

Day 28 of #mermay: Gemini.

#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.

#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.

Hi! Congratulations on hitting 1K followers, that’s a big achievement, and I thank you for hosting this artshare!
As for me, I’m just a simple artist who enjoys drawing lots of mermaids.

The original drawing:
An child’s drawing, cca early 90s. It’s a mermaid with highlighter yellow hair and pink tail and top; there’s also a castle, stars, a carriage in the background, some trees, all very obviously colored with highlighter pens. an extra piece of paper (a cutout) of another blue tailed mermaid is next to the main drawing (this one colored with just regular pens).

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Late as usual with my first #mermay post, but I'm here and ready to draw so many mermaids.
This one is a DTIYS from ig of the official mascot of this drawing challenge (which turns 10), Melody. And I HAD TO add my PunkMaids too, because it just fits.
A group drawing of four mermaids gathered around a microphone and singing, the one in the center also plays an electric guitar. All the mermaid designs are inspired by rock or punk aesthetics.

Feeling a little nostalgic, and since #mermay is around the corner, so I wanted to share here some old #art of mine
From good ol' tumblr circa 2014:
A drawing of Ariel (classic mermaid look, but with legs instead of a fish tail) sat on a atable opposite Gaston (from Beauty and the Beast). They are arm wrestling and Ariel clearly wins, as she slams his hand against the table. An implied continuation of the previous image: Ariel has a confident smirk on her face as the three blonde Gaston groupies (from his corresponding Disney film) are fawning over her from a distance. Important detail: in both drawings Ariel's figure sports a bit more muscle definition than her original design.

Hi! Congrats on hitting 10k and thank you for hosting this artshare!

Here’s some older works I made some years ago, but still love.
A painting study of Grogu A dynamic scene depicting Dragon Age characters (Isabella, Male Hawke, and Fenris on one side, and Iron Bull, a Lavellan Inquisitor, and Dorian on the other; Fenris and Dorian look like they’re about to fight and are being held back by their corresponding friend groups) A back view of a centaur with insect wings. He also wields double hand axes Wallflower, an original character of mine. She looks to be about 10-12 years old, has a tired, sad look on her face, pale skin and long straight blonde hair. She wears black shorts and a long black fitted coat; the coat has a train on which a bunch of plants and mushrooms grow. She’s also holding a plant in some soil to her ear.
