I can't separate these two mercreatures, so I'm offering them on one sheet; so you get both the beauty and the beast, if you will. 😄

Two Merheads

Brown pencil on plain notebook paper, 125 × 164 mm.
Two drawings in brown pencil of two merfolk, with human/humanoid heads and fish tails/bodies. One has an 18th century lady's head complete with a towering coif elaborately dressed with a kerchief, beads, feathers, seashells and anemones. The other has a gaunt, haunting, mask-like face with wispy hair.

Where the Light Shivers Offshore🧜‍♂️💧

Mermay is a great time to repost this favourite of mine, now with alt text.
An illustration of a sailor and a mercreature fucking underwater. The mercreature is a pale grey, wearing a divers helmet with long strands of hair floating around it. It is holding the sailor tight with it's clawed hands, pressing two translucent dicks into the smaller mans ass. The tattooed sailor is overwhelmed but holding onto the mercreatures helmet. If you read this (you probably don't) but I don't care about your opinion about sex in salt water or breathing underwater, this is fantasy and a drawing and none of this is real. Thanks. If you're still reading: Love you, thanks for your attention.

Is there a fic where both Ed and Stede are mercreatures but they both don't know and are trying to hide it from the other one so they don't freak each other out?

They still haven't freed my catfish... I appealed the "explicit" flag yesterday and then this morning 🫠

Even mercreatures shouldn't be shamed just for having bodies!!

MerKimi study! They've been gifted a fish

I've decided they're a mammalian sea creature despite the fishy fins. And they have proper gills now 🐟
#KimiArtScraps
Digital pencil or charcoal style sketch of Kimi as a mercreature from the waist up. They hold a fish flopped in one webbed, clawed hand, and regard it with bared fangs.

I’m not writing this into my mer-cuttlefish Goodcollins fic but I am contemplating a conversation between various characters as veteran hobbyist divers at a seaside bar discussing which mercreatures they’ve seen (mercreatures being a known but relatively uncommon thing to encounter) and how (1/3)

I spent the day testing different scale designs for mercreatures. I can come back to this for reference, and I get to work out whether white, silver, or gold detail works best. Sorry about the stain at the top, red gets everywhere. 🙄😁💜
A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of different scale designs, for reference when I draw mercreature tails. Each line of scales is outlined in gold, silver, or white, and coloured (from the top) in purple, orange, red, light yellow-green, green, and yellow underneath. I like planning designs, as I can test out what works (or doesn’t).

A flat color drawing of Diluc from Genshin Impact as a merman. Most of his body is bright red with black stripes on the shoulders, biceps, and hips. The backs of his hands and his claws are also black. His face, neck, chest, and abdomen are a pale white that fades splotchily into the red of the rest of his body and is spotted with small red freckle-like patterns. His long red hair flows loose behind him. He has a large red tail fin, with two thinner fins at the front of each hip and one small one on each forearm. He is based on a betta fish. A flat color drawing of Kaeya from Genshin Impact as a merman. His entire body is in shades of blue, with a large navy stripe bordered with sky blue down the length of his body. His tail fin is long, slender, and split into multiple tendrils and is sky blue at the base, the medium blue of his body for the majority, and navy at the ends of each tendril. In addition to this, he has six other similar fins down the length of his tail, decreasing in size from hips to just above the base of the largest tail fin. His golden right eye is exposed. His long navy hair flows loose in front of him. He is based on a blue glaucus.

I forgot today is May! The start of mermay! A few years ago I used to do Cursed mermay on stream where people suggested cursed combinations and we’d make new mercreatures.
I still think about the cursed anglerorse..

Do you want a story about pirates, mermaids, self discovery, self forgiveness, and grappling with past trauma? Then Mermaid’s Blood is the book for you. In Spring 2024, explore a world of Mercreatures, pirates, Skeleton Sea Serpents.

Mer-lobster? Mobster? 🤣🤣💀 My brain hurts.

Eden Eight-hands just makes the other mercreatures nervous, I guess. So unfair. They don’t even pinch!
A graphite sketch WiP of a mer-lobster, holding a smartphone that has a photo of two mermaids hugging, with “PARTY!”. They have eight arms (plus a tail segmented like a lobster tail), six of which have hands, with the front two ending in hooked lobster feet. Their back has little spikes, like a lobster shell, and their face has eyes on stalks and two long feelers. The merlobster is holding the phone in one hand, and waving their other hands around in frustration. Above is written “Another party! Why am I never invited?!”. Poor mobster. Merbster? Lobmer? Poor shellfish!

I’m very tired; I think it’s the weather. Fingers crossed it’s not my meds going screwy again.

“Naptime”.
A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a pink mercreature holding a baby purple mercreature asleep in their arms. They are facing right, sitting on algae-covered rocks, their tail curled down in front and held to the right. Both adult and baby mercreatures have swept back feelers on their heads, ending in balls. Adult is shaded pink to dark pink-purple, baby is shaded light pink to purple, a little more purple than the adult. The sea floor is green algae covering grey-green rocks, with the mercreatures sitting on an outcropping. Bottom left is a dark pink sea anemone, bottom right is a Black Sea urchin. The background sea is grey. In the upper left background is a shark swimming left, in the upper right background is Bela Lugosquid, a squid in an opera cape and evening wear, like Bela Lugosi’s costume in Dracula (1931). Bela is swimming right, smiling. The adult mercreature is ignoring everything except the baby in their arms. As you do.
