January Challenge 2013: Day Five

[ink_in_hand]

 

Alright, from left to right we have a merman spikey oreodory with Oreo colors, one of my first mers who is based on the hermaphroditic tripod fish, an anglerfish lady with her two little husbands, and a dangerously skinny gulper eel.

 

Seriously, I have even more merfolk that are based on deep sea life. (not to mention sea life in general) A couple are based off of a species of Tomopterid worm, of which are one of the bare handful of animals that can glow yellow. My new merman that's based off the sea pig, a Cthulhu version of your standard sea cucumber. My new mermaid who's based off the goblin shark. Um... There's more I swear, I just can't think of them right now.

 

Can't really think of much right now at all come to mention it, and I'm not even a week in. Haaaa. Need to also stop making these so complex that I keep getting right next to the wire. :\

Also, I reorganized my images in my photobucket account and wouldn't you know it, the site reassigned all the links and now none of my old image posts have images.  I really want to keep things organized, but I also don't want to go back through all my posts to redo the links. Any opinions?

so many awesome merfolk! *flails*

Thank you! Though only one of them has a name, Pax the tripod fish, but I no longer like it. I've been trying to find them for a while.

(If, and only if, you have the time and inclination I would love your help in figuring out the others.)

This is gorgeous. I'm not all that coherent today, but I love all of these. The tripod fish's supporting fins look great, and I'll never not love the angler fish lady, and the gulper eel's jaws. So very cool :D

That was me, I forgot to log in. *headdesk*

Aw, don't feel bad. Today has been a whole lot of fail all around so forgetting to log in is more amusing than not.

But yeah, I've had so much fun designing these it's ridiculous. I keep wanting to make more, but I have so many already I need to flesh out to even have the basics of characterization that it'll take years to finish.

Angler lady needs a story and I have no idea where to start. As do the rest... :|
