AU where Mostro Lounge launches it as an official sporting event, because Azul smelled the business opportunity (featuring @raven-at-the-writing-desk's Miss Raven with Jade)
Oh WOW I did actual Mermay artwork before May ended!!
In a spur of moment I wanted to doodle Mermaid AU Ahiru and how she would interact with Fakir in that universe.
ALSO last two are bonus doodles I did after I DISTINCTLY remembered the movie H2O had a whole bit where the mermaids turn into humans when they’re not in water? I still don’t get that logic but you bet that I had to make Ahiru and Fakir experience that situation.
MERMAY 2024 MAIN CAST- look at my stupid, idiot little children, I love them so much. If I can keep up, this year is gonna be fun; I have angsty plots >:3
MerMay 2024 Masterpost
Relative size reference and anatomical ramblings below cut.
Here’s a vague size comparison thing for all of them. And a human for perspective
I really, desperately want to make an illustrated guide to my merfolk lore, because it’s extensive and I’m really proud of it. But that sounds slightly overwhelming, so idk, but here are some random scraps that pertain to these four. My fish mers aren’t allowed to have hair; they have a variety of different fins on their head to mimic it instead. Oviparous fish (e.g. remora) lay their eggs and their mer counterparts do likewise, and therefore don’t have nipples and/or breasts. Eggs of ovoviviparous fish (e.g. manta ray) hatch shortly before giving birth and do not consume anything resembling milk, so their mer counterparts do not have nipples and/or breasts. Viviparous fish (e.g. lemon shark) essentially nurse when in the womb, so their mer counterparts nurse after having given birth and have nipples and/or breasts. Mammals (e.g. monk seal) are self explanatory.
Also most animals hatch or are born with navels, because even in eggs, there’s a cord from the embryo to the yolk sack. Oviparous and ovoviviparous creatures just tend to be better at healing the scar. However, I’ve decided that mers are not as good at healing the scar, and thus, have bellybuttons.
people really liked the mermaids... so I'm working on some sort of fish au ig? I forgot Riddle's ribbon but that will be brought up later... enjoy second year's as fish
