Behold!!!! The piece that got delayed by my surprise visit to death prevention jail end of last year!

This is my submission to @thewhumpyprintingpress's ABCs of Whump zine!!! It's available for purchase, go check it out :)

I was so excited to participate, and it was such a pleasure :) This piece took a while, and it is right on the edge of my current capabilities as an artist, but it was incredibly fun and rewarding to work on, I'm very proud of how it turned out <3

Featured is my mer shifter boi Pete from my fav project Shifting Phases :) I love him very much and could not resist another oppourtunity to have a work featuring him published.

(I had to scrunch it significantly to get Tumblr to take it ^-^')

A huge thank you to @harringrovezine for putting the zine together and including me <3 I’ve never been a part of a zine before and the experience was absolutely a gold standard to go by. Check out everyone’s works in the ao3 collection!

[frozenvepar]

Can't remember if I ever ended up posting this, but it was my piece for last year's @ocrosemagazine charity Zine! The theme for 2023 was STELLIFEROUS - so all things interstellar and astronomical!

a very magical qijiu mermay fix-it🖤💚 my entry for Wind~Waves~Wishes zine🌊

[dice-eater]

Image Description: A picture of Markus St. Vincent mid-fall from the sky over Gorgar, surrounded by the wooden shards of his wrecked ship. He wears a red captain's jacket over a hooded tunic, with a golden skull mask covering his face. In one hand he holds his sword, the other reaches up to a shard of wood above him. Above him is positioned the figurehead of his ship, a golden statue of a merman, extending one hand as if he is in song. The positioning of Markus and his figurehead appears to make the figurehead look to be giving the wooden shards to Markus as they both fall. End Description.

Hail her, oh hail her!

Our gallant captain cried

Blow high, blow low

And so sail we-

(my piece for the zine of ultimate evil which you can find here!)

Here is the full version of my piece from the @ygomerzine !! i had a lot of fun drawing Merman Chris

Thank you so much for the opportunity to participate in my first Zine!!

[marlinspirkhall]

do you have any spirk fic recommendations? i feel like im running out on ao3 :(((

Spirk Fic Recs for Anon

Here are all the k/s fics I have bookmarked, the most recent stuff are from the Terms Of Service zine 2023 and you should exclude the "recced by author" tag if you don't want to read any self-recs.

Completely forgot to include ratings information, but most of these are rated Mature and please check the tags in case there are any plot points/triggers I forgot to warn for.

I don't know what your taste is or what you have already read so these are going to be all over the place:

Killer Plants From Outer Space! by CowboyJimKirk lives rent free in my head, as does Side By Side by Herenya_Writes, but I've recced that fic before, so you should read their fae royalty au fic Of A Different Kind

Near Miss by The_Norsiest (Spirk SNW/Disco first meeting au, written back before SNW had been announced.)

Imzadi_Deanna is a great writer & you should peruse her ao3 to find something you like, but I'm recommending: The Warmth Of Cold Glass (merman!Jim AU), The Curvature Of Our Universe

What We Don't Say (Or: The Epic Wedding Of Jim And Spock) by museaway

Whump:

Nine Million Green Bottles (self rec)

Kashan by PlotWeaver

Tomorrow Never Comes (self rec) (Major Character Death)

Or maybe you don't want to read at all and you want to listen to podfics like Forty-Five Hours In Riverside (recorded by JammyToast), [fic] or Entering Orbit (LikeSharkTeeth), [fic] (author: museaway)

Spirk podfics recs (collection) (all)

You Don't Have To (Say Yes) (recorded by RSCreighton) (note: this podfic is 22 hours long) [fic] (author: LuminousBeings)

Secret link? A Crazy Little Thing Called Love, by VTSuion

My piece for the Pearly Scales IDV zine featuring EriEdgar! (transfem Frederick Kreiburg and Edgar Valden), it was so fun making this piece! You should totally check out the whole zine!

Reference sheet bellow!

Edgar:

Edgar is a multicolor angelfish, a sea water merman.

He does make art in different manners, mainly using a self made paintbrush, wood planks and octopus ink.

He got interested in Ericka for her elegant beauty and shiny jewelry.

He is a bit aggresive and territorial, but clingy to Ericka.

Ericka Kreiburg:

Ericka was visiting the beach in a holiday when she encountered Edgar in a port.

Since then, they formed a friendship, Ericka bringing stuff and food from the land, and Edgar drawing Ericka as his muse.

🇬🇧 | Hello there, my good beans! I hope you've all been well. 🌞 I have come to present you my newest watercolour piece! A painting test of a merman for my future Fathoms Mermay Zine painting, based on a blue lingcod! 👀 🌊

Every recent watercolour piece of mine was painted on different paper, as I'm trying to find a replacement that suits my workflow. This paper is a solid contender so far, but it's really soft and tears easily. Masking fluid is a no-go…

Have a lovely spring season, and take care, everyone. ~~~~~~~~~~ 🇫🇷 Bonjour, mes bonnes patates ! J'espère que vous allez bien. Je viens vous présenter ma dernière aquarelle, un test de triton basé sur un Ophiodon Elongatus bleu, qui figurera dans une future peinture pour le Fathoms Mermay Zine ! 👀 🌊 Toutes mes aquarelles les plus récentes ont été peintes sur un papier différent, car j'essaie de trouver un remplacement. Ce papier me paraît plutôt adapté à mes besoins, mais il est très fragile et se déchire facilement. Impossible d'utiliser du fluide de masquage... Que le printemps vous soit doux, et prenez soin de vous.

Finally! It's time to reveal the artwork that I made for the @yoi-stardust-zine. I present to you this Victuuri representing their birth zodiac signs!

Final sales are open until November 5th!

This zine is one of the most beautiful ones I've had the pleasure to participate in (I did some merch as well, I'll show you that later). So run and get your copy, it is an absolute delight!

Just as all the participants, I put a lot of love into this piece, and I want to show you the references I used for it ❤️

Let's start with Yuuri. His birthday is on 11/29, so he's Sagittarius, The Archer (a centaur!)♐️ For him, I used the traditional clothes of Yabusame, a type of Japanese mounted archery!)

Now let's get to Victor. His birthday is on 12/25, so he's a Capricornus ♑️, which is represented as a sea goat: a mythical creature that is half goat, half fish. So I turned him into a horned merman, and his clothes and jewels are based on the regalia of the old russian empire 👑.

I am really happy with the result, and I assure you, everyone elses pieces are just as cool, if not more!

Go get your copy!

WIP Game

Rules: Make a 24-hour poll with the names of your wips, let it run, then write one sentence for every vote the winner received.

Brought to you by @bluemaskedkarma (DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY WIPS I HAVE o_o *affectionate fist-shaking in your general direction*). Knowing how my brain shrieks and runs from imagined pressure, I'm not listing any of the major AUs here, just the side stuff I've worked on recently.

(I will also cheerfully blather on about most of these if there are questions. ^_^;; Except the pwp. That's just weird smut.)

Tagging anyone who wants to play.

[scytheclawz]

will you still draw merman jonawagon?

Absolutely!! I've just been preoccupied with health issues and zine contributions and commission work 🥺 Requests are unfortunately the lowest priority for me. I still intend to draw some of the cute ideas that have been sent my way tho

Hi 💕

For the ask game: 5 for "knows best", 30, and 40 please!

Hello friend!! 💙 Thank you! (ask game)

5. What do you wish someone would ask you about knows best? Answer it now!

Perhaps you'd like to hear what Obi-Wan and Anakin are dressed like in their first undercover scene! I can tell you that Obi-Wan is dressed like he's in Birds of Prey except he keeps his beard. I know shaving would probably help him not be recognized but consider this: he's very handsome with his beard.

Anakin I think is dressed a bit like this photo. He looks like the spoiled son/boyfriend of a crime boss to me!

30. Have you ever written something that was out of your comfort zone? If so, what was it, and how did it affect your approach to writing fic thereafter?

I think my merman fic Till Human Voices Wake Us and then my zine fic Guiding Light! I know I've gone about this (somewhat ironically) but I really want to be one of those writers who can be very effective in very few words and the limit, self-imposed or otherwise, forced me to be more thoughtful and sparing with my language. Even if my fics go on and on I think it helps me keep scenes a little tighter. I've even gotten better at cutting out useless filler words!

40. Do you tend to reread fics or are you a one-and-done kind of person?

Oh absolutely. There are a bunch of fics that are basically comfort fics for me and I revisit them constantly. My bookmarks are a good place to start if you're curious but they're also woefully behind so let me update those. I think some of my favourite fics get better with each reread!
