Guess who got a new tablet today! Guess! Guess!



Dyro would kick my ass if he had legs for drawing him like this. (His tongue is blue because like the Horseshoe Crab I've decided that Eurypterids have blue blood too.)



Deep sea polychaetes make awesome mermaids. (For those of you not in the know, that means she's a worm) And I finally, FINALLY have a hairstyle I like for her, after four years it was getting ridiculous.



Someone on Mermafied had the idea of putting our characters on playing cards. My girl Romoko got the treatment.



Only one drawn straight from scratch today, I didn't even realize I was using fox colors until I was about halfway through.

*goes back to drawing*

I like the merfolk (I thought the first one was a scorpion at first), but I love the dragon. So pretty.

By the way, what program do you color in?

The Eurypterids (the animal he's based on) aren't called sea scorpions for nothing. They do look a lot like scorpions, and are in fact distantly related. Thank you!

OpenCanvas. You can download a free version, mind you it's not the latest, here (http://wistinga.online.fr/opencanvas/).

Oh wow, the polychaete is absolutely stunning. Then again, I think just about any deep sea creature would make an awesome mermaid. *wonders what a pelican eel would look like.*

And the dragon, for some reason, reminds me of the one from Spirited Away.

Thank you. I love her but she really doesn't like to be drawn all that much, telling me that I don't have her design correct yet every single time, and that's after the picture is finished. So I'm really happy that there are no whispered complaints this time.

Pelican eel? *looks up* Oh! The Gulper, I didn't know it was also called the pelican eel. And yes, deep-sea animals make great mers. There's quite a few of them in the practical mermaid club I belong to; tripod-fish (one of them is mine), dumbo octopus, coelacanths (I have one of these too), vampire squid and someone had done a gulper eel type but they haven't been on in quite some time.

Oh wow, I haven't seen that movie in years. *makes a note to watch it again sometime soon*
