Mermay contest concept WIP
-
@Squirrelsize thanks for the encouragement!
-
@Aleksey we had the same idea! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:
-
@StudioLooong theres not enough representation of granny mermaids
-
@Aleksey my thought exactly! Where do all the old merfolk go?!
-
@StudioLooong the tropics
-
@Aleksey Good job simplifying. I am so looking forward to seeing this develop. Thanks for sharing your earliest rough draft. It's really cool to see your process.

@Aleksey Hahaha! I now have another idea for Mermay. Granny and Gramps Mermaids playing Bingo in Florida. Hilarious.
-
@Aleksey This one definitely gets my vote. What a great drawing. The other is a great pic but has so much going on that Granny gets lost. It also loses that homey feel I think you might be going for. I think you should show long hair otherwise she kind of looks like a gypsy fortune teller. Maybe when you add color and such that won't be the case.
-
Nice! I'm likin' all the little details and puns you're working into this. It looks like it's gonna work out nicely
-
Haha ty. Yeah im not doing long hair cause shes just done with the mermaid bs and wants to just enjoy her sports
-
-
@Aleksey This looks great. Digging the knitting and playful catfish. I think the tail looks like a young 'uns mertail though. Maybe some barnacles and torn tips?
-
@sigross I was thinking about that but i feel like a mermaid would exercise proper fin care. Like a human would use skin creams and brush their hair so that when they are older they would have well cared for hair and skin. A mermaid would have well cared for scales and fins.
-
@Aleksey Looking great! It nice to see all the process steps.
-
@Aleksey Yes and there's probably fish-folk that specialise in finicures.
-
@sigross yeah her geriatric merdoctor makes sure she takes her mervitamins
-
Coooooooool LOVE your character and composition, this is going to look amazing in colour!

@hannahmccaffery i hope so
