POV: you've been spotted by a curious young eel mermaid
#thoughts#🍬 post#our art#merfolk#mermay#eye contact tw#uploading this with less than an hour of May left in the timezone we're in lol#anyway I wanted to draw a mercreature based on a species we haven't really seen people draw much#so she's mostly based on a glass eel (very very young european eel) but then I just kind of made shit up#I had this image in my head and I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get it to look how I was imagining#because I'm not used to drawing underwater lighting but it actually is pretty close to what I wanted to do#also her body and arms and face and whatnot are transparent but good god I was not about to try and do all the bones in the hand#it's whatever. she's a fictional species. I can do whatever I want 👍#also the seaweed is loosely based on a species of sargassum because I'm fascinated by the Sargasso Sea#which is where baby european eels come from
