Delphi has a point

A mermaid comic.
Panel 1: A tan skinned, blonde haired woman in a ripped up swimsuit named Delphi is walking next to a light skinned, light brown haired shorter woman in a pink tank top named Ophelia.
Delphi asks, "So what's a V-tuber?" Ophelia replies, "Oh, right! I keep forgetting you were part shark for over five years."

Panel 2: Ophelia with sparkles in her eyes passing over her phone says, "Oh there's a bun ch of shark-girl you would probably like! Here look!"

Panel 3: Delphi holds up the phone excitedly saying, "oh lemme see!" There is a little bubble of a blue haired woman striking a pose and has a dark blue shark tail.

Panel 4: Delphi now has a disappointing expression says, "oh... It looks like the shark is just biting her ass. Kinda lame..."

Panel 5: Ophelia indignantly replies, "Delphi, it looked like a shark was eating your legs." There is a little bubble of Delphi as a shark tailed mermaid.

Panel 6: Delphi shrugs and says, "Yeah that's way more badass!" Ophelia squints at her and says, "Yeah, it was bad that you didn't have an ass."

Meanwhile...

To be fair, it's only been about 5 days since she finished being a fish for the past 5 years.

A mermaid comic.
Panel 1: A tan skinned, blonde haired woman in a ripped up swimsuit is standing next to a hot-dog stand.
She says, "Let me get this right, for every hotdog I sell I get one to east?" Someone replies, "No." She then says, "Every five I sell, I get one to eat."

Panel 2: An older man wearing a red and white shirt and hat looking tired says, "Ma'am, I'm not even hiring."

Panel 3: A light skinned, light brown haired woman wearing a purple tanktop and jean shorts rushes around a corner holding her phone and shouts, "There you are Delphi!"
Delphi, the blonde woman, turns around saying, "Ophelia!? Can't you see I'm doing an interview."
Ophelia replies with a shout, "Delphi, it's and emergency!"

Panel 4: Ophelia points at her phone showing a picture of a mermaid holding her bewbs. And exposition dump of text of her talking is behind her.
She is saying, "My favorite streamer Sally Streams is suppose to be on a hiatus, but then she did an impromptu stream and we thought she got a new mermaid v-tuber and then she did
this and got banned and then she didn't even post about it and her rival said something vague and her boyfriend set his status to "available and I think she is actually
cursed to be a mermaid from the girl who you cursed and we should do something about it."

Panel 5: Delphi, looking stunned and slightly offended says, "I... I didn't understand half the things you just said."

"Am I an ancient greek goddess, or a kid what was turned into a mermaid in the 70s? Even the writer's didn't know!"
Probably the last Nereid for a little while (I ran out of my sketches to clean up...)

A light skinned, green with purple striped tailed, brunette mermaid with her hands in the sand holding herself up in the water.
The mermaid is fanart of Kelly Brook's character Nereid from the movie Fishtales.

More Nereid cause I seem to draw her when *gestures at everything*

At this point unless Kelly Brook or JMBFX Studio (the special effects house that made the tail) tell me otherwise, she is now my OC

A light skinned, green with purple striped tailed, brunette mermaid is sitting on the sea floor and yawning. There are Grecian pillars in the background.

"Gods I hope that incompetent man doesn't have a more mature daughter who is in search of a friend/mother figure."

A light skinned mermaid with a green tail with purple stripes is looking towards the water's surface.
She is wearing multiple necklaces and has a concerned look on her face.

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

It's funny: I'm doing a *lot* of black & white work lately, but I go about rendering my client work so differently than my comics. I end up doing very little to no base linework here, and mostly render as I go. #drawtober #spookyshit #digitalart

An iPad with procreate open. A black and white illustration of demon-like creatures haunting a writhing man in a hospital bed. It is rendered in an etching like look.

Today's #drawtober features a very frustrating WOLF. #comics #theWolfWithNoTail

A photo of an iPad screen with ProCreate open. On it, a very sketchy comic panel is coming to life. It is drawn in a ballpoint pen brush. It features a rustic medieval looking hall, with two characters sharpening their swords before a fireplace. One character is a large white wolf with a moon-themed executioners sword, and the other is a frustrated white rabbit with a sword sword.
