Lazlo's been assigned on a scuba recon mission in the hideout of a mercenary group called "Pistrix Until", but a shadowy dark clad figure seems to be stalking him...

Harbinger of doom?

They asked us about merman Lysandre and that's re-igniting, once again, our love for oarfish...

"Matri du Mari", is the title, in Sicilian, of this illustration. It means "Mother of the Sea", and features Scylla, the oldest pistrix, meeting a... young child, that definitely shouldn't be there.

We want this to be open to the viewer imagination.

#Merfolk #TraditionalArt #Fantasy #Ballpointpen
Illustration drawn with black ballpoint pen; a huge pistrix, a creature with a partially anthropomorphic upper body and a long, finned lower body similar to that of an oarfish, places its enormous, webbed hands around the body of a little girl, who for some reason is in the water. Below the girl are several young pistrix, who also seem intrigued by the presence of a human. The pistrix featured in the illustration is Scylla, the largest and oldest known member of the world's pistrix population.

Merfolk (Maregens sp.), male and female (although males normally have much longer hair, this is a character-specific one) vs. Pistrix (Apocapisces regalecus), female and male.
Pixel art for some of our sea people!

If $6 wasn't a good enough deal, here's an even cheaper deal. Doesn't include the DLC, but honestly you could probably skip Pistrix and just get Dark Heart and be cool. Even without the DLC you're getting one of the best anime fighters ever made and more than enough characters to find a main.

Today's fanart, created for us by DoodleDeity, features our main boy (if you can call him that...), Sangreal, in all his length!

One of the most aesthetically interesting things about this character is the length of his body...

Did you know that swordfish can (and do) dive to great depths? It's true! But why do they do it?
(For this reason. To ominously beg for food from Sangreal)

#Traditionalart #Ballpointpen #FishDontCry #Swordfish #Merfolk
Black and white illustration of a pistrix (a creature that's part humanoid, part oarfish-like) coming face to face with a swordfish. The swordfish is slightly higher than the pistrix. Near the pistrix's head is a tubefish (Stylephorus chordatus), which appears strangely calm. The pistrix says, "I have no food to give you, please go away!"

Sketch featuring Scylla the most massive pistrix.
We will re-do this with ballpoint pen, on white paper, and complete it (this is just a study of what we want to do).

The title is "matri du mari", that in Sicilian means "Mother of the Sea".

Digital sketch of a gigantic female pistrix, a creature similar to a mermaid but with a massive size, watching a little child that appears very small compared to her hands.

Sometimes trying to read stories (for your tubefish pet) is not easy, if you live underwater.

#TraditionalArt #Merfolk #FishDontCry #Pistrix #Sketch
Black and white illustration of a pistrix (a creature that's part humanoid, part oarfish) trying to read a book that's been completely ruined by being soaked and colonized by small animals, while a small deep-sea fish (Stylephorus chordatus) looks at the book. The pistrix says, "Hm. I'm studying." An arrow points to the book, labeling it "unreadable."

For the ancient power of the pistrix, I break your curse.

I charged this art with intention, and with the symbols that give me joy. Now breathe, unclench your jaw, let your shoulders drop.

You are free now.

#Pistrix #FollowThePistrix #Sillyposting #FishDontCry #BrokenCurse #TheCurseIsBroken
Digital illustration, in black and white, of a primitive pistrix (a sort of sea serpent, looking a lot like an oarfish, but with arms), and a sort of diamon shape in the middle of the page.Around the pistrix there are the words: "For the ancient power of the pistrix sygil, your course is now broken".And inside the diamond: "Have a nice life!".

Grandma is always dramatic about human beings (she never saw one and was never hurt by a human, by the way).

#TraditionalArt #ComicPage #FishDontCry #Merfolk #Pistrix
First comic page for the webcomic "Fish Don't Cry," featuring Sangreal, a pistrix (a merfolk-like being with a humanoid upper body and an oarfish-like lower body, elongated and somewhat compressed laterally), and his grandmother, also a pistrix, whose face, however, is shrouded in darkness, and only her bright, round eyes and, sometimes, her mouth are visible. Sangreal says: "Hi, grandma, I encountered a human!" She replies: "Where did you put the body?" Sangreal: "He was alive. We talked." Sangreal again: "Technically, I encountered many human beings, not just one. I don't know why I told you only about Seraphin, because I also talked to his sisters..." Second comic page for the webcomic "Fish don't Cry," featuring Sangreal, a pistrix (a merfolk-like being with a humanoid upper body and an oarfish-like lower body, elongated and somewhat compressed laterally), and his grandmother, also a pistrix, whose face, however, is shrouded in darkness, and only her bright round eyes and, sometimes, her mouth are visible. The grandmother asks, "Who is Seraphin?" And Sangreal replies, "Oh, Seraphin is this marine biologist. He studies fish that inhabit the depths, like oarfish and tubefish and..." "What is a marine biologist?" asks the grandmother. "Oh, a marine biologist is a human who gets paid to study creatures that live in the water, like fish and octopi and corals and shrimps and whales and mussels and me!" Third comic page for the webcomic "Fish Don't Cry," featuring Sangreal, a pistrix (a merfolk-like being with a humanoid upper body and an oarfish-like lower body, elongated and somewhat compressed laterally), and his grandmother, also a pistrix, whose face, however, is shrouded in darkness, leaving only her bright, round eyes and, sometimes, her mouth visible. "You?" asks the grandmother. "Why is someone studying YOU?" "Well, grandma, it's because he thinks I'm very interesting, perhaps?" asks Sangreal, cheerfully, a smile on his face, his hands held low and fingers intertwined. "What part of YOU is interesting to him, exactly?" asks the grandmother, menacingly. "Aren't you scared, my child?" "Scared?" asks Sangreal. The grandmother replies: "He will kill you." Sad, Sangreal explains: "No, grandma, he's a protector..." Fourth comic page for the webcomic "Fish Don't Cry," featuring Sangreal, a pistrix (a merfolk-like being with a humanoid upper body and an oarfish-like lower body, elongated and somewhat compressed laterally), and his grandmother, also a pistrix, whose face, however, is shrouded in darkness, leaving only her bright, round eyes and, occasionally, her mouth visible. "Human beings are like merfolk, with a tail instead of legs," says the grandmother. "They disrespect mother ocean with their own existence. Merfolk descend from humans: if you cut them at the waist, they're nearly identical. You are a FISH, they can't be your friends." "Wh-what?" asks Sangreal, heartbroken.

Someone asked us "Sooooo how do pistrixes (pixtri?) procreate 👀?"

This is the answer!

About time we showed you Fox too, huh? She's a nixen or sharkmaid (Maregens pistrix). Here we can see her together with a male ceasg or mersalmon (Xanatos, of course!)

And it's finally here, the reference for our main guy, Sangreal!
With an all-new reference style to match the saga of which he's part, Fish don't Cry.

Just in time before the starting of ArtFight, too!

So, what do you think? Isn't he cool?

#Merfolk #Pistrix #FishDontCry #FnMArt
Digital illustration: This is the reference page for Sangreal, a pistrix (Apocapisces regalecus), a partially anthropomorphic creature whose lower/posterior body resembles that of an oarfish: very long, silvery, with red fins. The page also includes two drawings, one dressed and one in underwear, of human versions of Sangreal.

He's a big big boiiii (except he's not a boy, because gender for pistrix doesn't work like humans, and neither sex does, but we'll explain that maybe later...)

Dada (or is it mama? These creatures are complicated) with ten fries!
(Did you know that baby fish are called fries? And yes, of course pistrices are fish!).

Black ballpoint pen illustration of an adult pistrix with some juveniles. The juveniles are much less humanoid than the adult, with faces similar to those of a regaleco and only a pair of articulated arms like human ones.

"Monsieur" Ammonia is a very special pet: a deepsea fish for a deepsea owner! He's a very lively Stylephorus and lovely oddball, and he's totally trying to steal the spotlight from the rest of the story in Fish Don't Cry. Behave yourself, Monsieur!

#TraditionalArt #FishDontCry #TubeEyeFish #Fish
Traditional illustration, done in ballpoint pen and colored pencil, of the head of a pistrix (a semi-humanoid fish), along with a tube-eye (Stylephorus chordatus). The pistrix says, in French, "Comportez-vous bien, monsier Ammoniaque."

The marine biologist Augustine studies Lysandre, a pistrix in its natural environment: the ocean.

These are just preparatory sketches, a work in progress, but I wanted to show them because I really like the way you can see the difference in size between the two characters.
