mermay 2022 - 9
#OUGH i spent so long on this one cuz i was thinking a lot#about mermaids#my composition could use. work lmao but i'm not worried abt it#anyway this one is a merm hunter/warrior paying respects at a tableau for good luck#the seal-type merfolk (hyqait) are super territorial and get in frequent fights with other hyqait groups#because they're all trying to occupy the same choice hunting grounds in the warmer waters close to shore#hunters tend to end up doubling as warriors so during wartimes hyqait diets wind up being less. substantial and more. foragey scavengey#i want to say that in hyqait culture it is considered aberrant to not wear one's hair in a bun/braids esp. when in the water#(unless washing or combing the hair obvs)#but i already drew two of them with their hair free underwater LMAO#oh well#i think maybe it doesn't apply to children because hyqait hair grows very slowly so kids don't need to bother with tying it up yet#though if they're trying to emulate adults they may try to do so anyway#i think the hairstyle thing probably also doesn't apply to people who occupy certain religious/spiritual roles#so i guess that will be my explanation haha#mermay 2022#mermay
