That's an interesting idea, thanks for suggesting. I do enjoy seeing this in other people's works

I'm trying to get the main illustrations for my little zine wrapped up, but I've still got a lot to do and I don't want to stress myself about a project that's entirely for fun

This damned thing is so cool but it's also the biggest pain in the ass to draw

They are my current little obsession and a tricky romance story I'm building up. Clownfish was originally an unsold adopt I decided to keep. Then I thought it would be funny to make a full tribal setting with mer people for the occasion. I only wish I had more juice to draw all these ideas faster

Collage of two digital paintings.

image on the left: Digital painting of a man called The Wanderer. His hair is short and white, with a teal green streak on the left bang, he has brown skin, and his brows and goatee are white. His left eye is also icy white, he has pointy ears, and he is wearing a feather shaped earring.

He is wearing a hooded open vest, showing his bare chest, two elbow length gloves with both hands out. He has a sling bang and an obsidian black sword in a sheath hanging from his belt.

His loin-cloth is teal colored and has a fish-tail shaped train on the back. Underneath is a pair of blue pants, and he is wearing a pair of cream colored boots with white and teal parts.

His expression is serious and determined.

The background is a vibrant blue sky with clouds on the horizon, and the ground he's standing on is a shoreline with the water directly mirroring the sky.

Image on the right: Digital painting scene of an aquatic humanoid warrior, perhaps leading a battalion of other merfolk and aquatic warriors into an attack on land. 

The warrior general has thick, scaly silver skin, adorned in gold armor and plating, and he's wielding a giant golden axe with an odd shape. He's standing on an elevated rocky platform covered in moss, with three aquatic creatures surveying the attack alongside him.

The creatures in the foreground have humanoid bodies, but heads of fish and merfolk. The same species of creatures can be seen rallying in the background. Lastly, there is a giant serpent towering the scene in the far back, it is pale in color, and it seems like it has a man-made golden structure attached to its face, like a helmet of sorts.

Digital painting of a merfolk-monster mutant. The merman is mostly humanoid; with human legs and barely any aquatic features, but on the nape of his neck is a fleshy appendage, that tethers him to the spine of a giant, mutated anglerfish, as if he's the lure and bait instead of a faintly glowing appendage.

The merfolk is floating above the large and open jaws of the anglerfish.

Digital painting of a giant ominous man, sitting cross legged, levitating in the sky, surrounding by flying giant oarfish, overlooking structures and buildings. 

The man is a merfolk; mostly humanoid, but with a giant oarfish tail that he's sitting on. He's dressed in a religious tunic, with a red band resting over his shoulders, a helmet fashioned to look like an oarfish head, and he is holding a horn closely, as if he's about to blow it. The his sclera are bloodshot.

Around him are dozens of giant oarfish, rising from the sea and floating mid-ar. Beneath them are deserted buildings, homes and infrastructures.

Colored sketch of a large orca merman and a smaller clownfish merman below him; both looking at each other, clownfish is holding a bone dagger behind his back.

Creature with long "taur" body with 4 hands, black incestoid legs and a long chitin-covered tail. Its upper humanoid body has no hands; lots of bug legs are crawling out of the cracks in its skull and chest.
