I never see elderly mers so I thought I would toss something out there.

Available on Inprnt and in my Etsy shop!

[Image Description: A digital painting of two older black mer people kissing, their tails twined around each other. The mer to the left is a trans man with visible top surgery scars. He has short grey hair in an undercut and the tail of an epaulette shark (tan with black spots). The mer on the right is a fat woman with grey hair partially in cornrows and the tail of a mandarinfish (orange with turquoise patterns). Both wear a few bands of gold jewelry. /end ID]

「 Oh, my dear… Though you've endured, your spirit is frayed. It is time now. Take pause. Set aside the hilt, and turn to the threads come unraveled. 」 🌤️

The final piece from my recent show, ‘In Harmony.’ The Eastern Phoenix is often associated with harmony and new beginnings. In trying to portray those associations, the body is decorated with floral motifs; little sprouts blooming from its back, and tail feathers resembling a blossoming flower #brbchasingdreams

The Sailor Mermaid gets it’s name for not only it’s impressive head sail but also it unique mode of transportation. Arguably one of the fastest of the Sirena family, the Sailor Maid or sometimes referred to as the Sail-Finned Maid will use the large fin much like a sailboat to aid in traveling vast distances in search of food. Their streamline bodies paired with this large sail make for a formidable predator. Mating pairs, using their head sails as barriers will often corral schools of fast moving prey between in order to feed.  

Slide two: An example of the dimorphism found in the skulls of the Sirenia order.

romanian mythology: iele

the iele are said to live in the sky, in forests, in caves and on isolated mountain cliffs, and reported to have been seen bathing in the springs or at crossroads. they mostly appear at night by moonlight, as dancing horas, in secluded areas such as glades, the tops of certain trees, ponds, river sides, crossroads or abandoned fireplaces, dancing naked, with their breasts almost covered by their disheveled hair, with bells on their ankles and carrying candles. the place where they had danced would after remain carbonized, with the grass incapable of growing on the trodden ground, and with the leaves of the surrounding trees scorched. later, when grass would finally grow, it would have a red or dark-green color, the animals would not eat it, but instead mushrooms would thrive on it.

I saw today's prompt for Fat Liberation Month was "Centaur," so I thought I'd knock this one off my to-draw list! They are boyfriends.

Prints available on Inprnt!

[Image Description: Digital artwork of a centaur and a dwarven man sitting together on the grass. The centaur has the torso of a fat black man with vitiligo, his hair in long twists, and he wears a flower crown. His body is that of a paint horse (brown with white splotches). The dwarf is a fat South Asian man with small braids in his beard. He wears a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up and light brown pants. The dwarf is seated in front of the centaur, working on a second flower crown, while the centaur braids his hair. Both are smiling peacefully. /end ID]
