💙 mermay, but make it creepy ~ #1

happy mermaid month!!
i absolutely love may because i get to draw mermaids (i should do it all year, tbh.)
every year i've participated i've mostly drawn cute mermaids, but this year i wanted to do something different, so my sirens will be closer to the original legends.

i really enjoyed playing with the lights and colors in this piece - you don't want to be swimming too close...

this looks so cool, it’s so nicely done!! i love the colors.
 
a little change from the creepy mermaids i was doing, because this scene popped in my head and i just had to draw it out. it was a challenge, and i don't think the perspective is quite right on the bottom part, but i'm still very happy with it 🌿
the brushes i used for the greenery were made by devinellekurtz 💙
this was possibly my last drawing for mermay, unless i find the time for a tinier one - overall, i'm very happy with the 4 drawings i managed to finish!

my luv, you simply popped off
this is so beautiful, i def was into the creepy mermaids but THIS? is just breath taking. it is the moment.
 
i haven't drawn myself in 2 years?? i was tired of the outdated profile pic i was using, so i drew myself for a new one. self portraits are difficult but i'm very satisfied with it!

that lil head tilt is so you though... you do that in so many pictures and it's ADORABLEEEE <3 :blush:
 
zelda is my muse, and i want to draw her in every aesthetic and era ✨
i thought light academia would fit botw zelda perfectly, since she's a researcher. i also wanted to draw her in modern clothes for a while, and i think it looks really good on her 💛
(i stole the hyrule historia logo for her book... don't mind me)

there's this awesome challenge going on right now where artists set their drawing program in grayscale, choose a random color palette, and draw without putting the colors back on. they're only revealed when the drawing is done so they're a surprise!
i really wanted to try and am really happy i did, because it was sooo much fun. i had no idea what i was doing and would never have guessed the colors i ended up using.
i'm definitely going to do more of these 💜

this started as another grayscale challenge, but the color palette ended up being atrocious lol so i picked out new colors because i really liked this piece anyway 💚
i've finished more drawings than usual this month, because i've been enjoying doing busts and portraits, but i should do more full bodies soon ^^'

i absolutely loved little leia from the obi-wan kenobi show 💚 vivien lyra blair was perfect casting, i think carrie fisher would have loved her and been proud of her 🥺 i had to draw this lil cutie with her droid lola!
(catching up on the drawings i wanted to get done after being sick for a week 😭 )
