May i offer some mer au during these trying times?
SO- i've been rambling a whole lot with @thedemonsurfer and @basilbots about an au where Eclipse 3.0 is a fisherman who rescues a mer Ruin after being caught by poachers (more info under the cut!)
So like my runaways au this is set in the main fnaf verse instead of the sams one. Eclipse was a dca model that got decommissioned but reactivated to be sold as a work robot so a lot of his memory is very janky.
He was bought and made to work for a shady fishing company (borderline pirates) where the boat he is on catches a roughed up little mer with a crooked tail and missing fins. Eclipse is made to guard the mer whom he sort of befriends over time and once they reach the shipping warehouse he has a change of heart when he realises this fish is sentient (and shaking hands in trapped and alone)
He sets Ruin free (burning down the company in the process) and finds a new home and life working as a free robot for a smaller but more legit fishing business in an out of the way fishing town. However Ruin turns up at his new home some months later and- they were roommates!
I have a few oneshots drafted and planned for this already! Butters (demonsurfer) already wrote a oneshot for it which you can read here! (Please go read it it gives me so much soul sustenance)
So here's something a little off the beaten path from my normal uploads -
Last week was my best friend @koilada's birthday and I held a private art stream for her, during which I sketched some of her (our) favorite ships! Because fwenship💕
Ships and the works that they're from listed below, in order of appearance:
Elena and Mateo (Elena of Avalor)
Koen and Ludwika (OCs from one of our collaborative works)
Cass and Varian (Tangled the Series)*
*The Cassarian sketch is specifically in reference to a post-series spin-off that she and I have been writing together for some time now, which I might post more about in the future, we'll see.
It's been so long since I've attempted to draw most of these characters... My favorite thing in this entire set ended up being that Mateo, because I have not drawn him very much and I was fully anticipating him to come out looking so much worse than he did, LOL.
(Side note: please forgive the missing hands, these were not meant to be finished pieces, just some relatively "quick" sketches)
full pic w/ doodles & close-ups + extra thoughts under the cut ^_^
hehoo..im fixated crazy on eddsworld.. mini tords inspired by @/weebnordlord on instagram !!(linked) i love their work so so so much, genuine huge inspiration 2 me :3
ne.way ! might post more later :3 have been working on this 4ever... goodnite tumblr i love u
Hi! I found a very cool fish photo and wanted to share! It is freshwater so idk if u know what it is but I sure don’t 😂 so was wondering if u maybe knew plus it looks awesome regardless so here have feesh
Yee I'm not super familiar with freshwater fish but I'm pretty sure that's a giant snakehead! They're really cool and there's a lot of insanely cool pictures of them :3 (though most of them are as trophies since people fish them a lot)
Here's more pics of some rly pretty ones I have saved
(the last one Im pretty sure has the saturation cranked up insanely high, but its a really cool look nontheless)
It's still Mermay so I'm allowed to make one more mer. Or cecaelia in this case. I have enough fish based ones and I love a good squiggle. He helped me out of an art block. Yeh.
A very curious one that uses bioluminescence for communication and hunting. Can't make any vocal sounds, but he does clack his teeth and huff or snort (if above water). He barely understands langauge, as what little he did know has atrophied due to not being exposed to it for 300 years. He's a deepsea dweller but a deepsea rover caught his interest, making him curious of the upper world once again. :)
The light comes in blues and greens, with different hues having different meanings and emotions. How much he glows and in what patterns also adds to what he wants to communicate.
He's also attracted to light.
And he will poke his nose in anything that catches his attention. Many of the scars he's got are a result of his curiosity. Curiosity killed the cat and all that.
original: sabito lionfish(xcatsharkxcoelecanth) & human giyuu met as kids, sabito goes to bother him(affectionate) @ his job at the aquarium(/merm rehabilitation/ocean research center usually. theyr Good)
1.5: sabito starts a mermaid theater group
2nd: vauge thought of traditional half-fish half-human mermaids, sabito as a white tipped reef shark. i forgot everything else :/
3rd: sabito & giyuu mermaids, giyuu gets seriously injured and a panicky sabito brings him to the aquarium, tries to follow them taking giyuu inside (shinobu & mitsuri trying to stop ~200lbs of Land Fish from going where he wants to go)
4th: all hashira mermaids, massive destructive hurricane/storm ripped through and they were some of the unlucky merms caught in it; local aquariums & water centers pitched in to help out the influx of injured merms & thats how they all meet
5th: mermaid giyuu & marine biologist sabito, sab finds fish out in the sea and it follows him home
6th: all humans mermaids, hashira + all the siblings/kids are a pod & get captured by illegal mermaid fishers which gets captured by authorities who find the fish in the brig(?) and take it to ppl who know what to do with them (aquarium) said ppl are the demons (humans now)
7th: some time pre-industrial era (all those^^ r modern) sabito as some worker on a ship that gets caught and capsizes in a nasty storm, gets rescued by giyuufish last minute [Castaways(barns courtny)]
Ok tumblr keeps crashing on me every time i try to submit these (4x now) hopefully this time works shdhdb. Some cool feeshes from an aquarium in florida i saw many years back :3
SDFKLFSD I GOT LIKE 3 ASKS LIKE THIS IT WAS RLY FUNNY
Thank you so much for showing though!!! THese are such swag creatures.... I am obsessed with the toadfish looking EXACTLY like the lil infographic. That creature can creach
Hi i love how you draw Eddie and his Big Boots. Stompstompstomp what’s that sound?? Its a beautiful knight approaching. And hes here to call you a whore
*points at him* TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE!!! HAH [promptly stepped on by Big Boots]
i will now take this opportunity to explore a silly little thing that happens when i draw eddie (and yaku+oli).
when eddie's alone, i'll default to some curvaceous b(oot)eauty like
vs. when yakumo's alone: i try to at least keep his broad shoulders from in-game
but if i put them together ? a chemical reaction happens and they start to morph
when you add OLIVINE, they morph even MORE
if i leave them together long enough, they eventually become:
