the beach ☀️
the reef 🐚
the sea 🌊
the depths ☠️

Sunni (the artist's siren oc, or original character) poses on the beach in a landscape digital art image. She is completely horizontal with the ocean and a bright blue sky behind her. She has water arms, legs, and neck, and wears a cream bikini. She also has tan skin and green eyes. The art is in a pinup style and would look great as a desktop wallpaper!

Two mermaids are displayed from a camera angle at their thighs, accentuating their boobs and hourglass figures from below.

The left mermaid has pink hair and scales, with a baby blue bikini top and gold cuffs. She has a mischievous expression and webbed ears.

The right mermaid is Sirena, aptly named for a Siren, and the artist's oc. She has blue to pink hair made of ocean waves, water covering her forearms and hands, and wears a blue seashell bikini top. Her tits are ginormous. Her tail is a periwinkle and she has various pearl and seafoam accessories.

Both women are underwater. Vivid corals, greens, blues, pinks are visible in the vegetation. The picture is colorful and bright.

Two women's full bodies are shown underwater. There is colorful purple, blue, pink, yellow, and black fish representing the palettes of each woman. Sirena is smiling at the camera and Diadema is staring emotionless into the distance. Seaweed, coral, ferns, and anemone (sorry I cannot spell to save my life that word) are pictured.

The left woman is Sirena. She has a wave skirt that falls to the floor and a shell top. Her hair is water itself and she is smiling.

The second woman is Diadema. She has a form fitting dress and a bone capelet corset thing. Her earrings are spiked shells and her ears are spiked as well. She wears a crown on her head.

Descriptions of both women are below.
Sirena, with sunset-colored water hair and white seafoam fringe. Her top and necklace are fastened with white seafoam as well. She is very Ariel-inspired.

Diadema, a new character & the queen of this oc species. She wears a long, form-fitting black dress with cleavage and hip cutouts, a white crown, and white bone-like shawl, earrings, and corset-inspired boning. She is vision impaired and disabled.

An illustration of Marina, a woman with brown skin, and teal ocean arms and legs. She wears a dark turquoise wraparound two piece with oceanic inspired accessories, such as ropes, shells, sand dollars, and fishing hooks.

The environment is underwater, and she is posing on a rock. There are shells, starfish, seaweed, fish, crabs, ferns, plants, coral, all sorts of undersea life dotted about the picture. The tone is a dark blue-ish gray that washes over the picture.

Catrina, fairy of the dead ✨

An Enchantix fairy oc from the Winx Club universe holds a shining light in her hands with a serene look on her face. She has pastel green hair, gloves, and wears a two piece ruched top and shorts. Her belt has orange, yellow, and pink feathers hanging from it. Her wings are light yellow with teal inner parts with pink gems and cutouts in the shape of a skull. Her fairy dust is a circle around her neck.

Siren lunchtime on the sea, unsuspecting sailors are on the menu! 🤭💅

Four characters in a drawing / painting from left to right. All of the characters are the artist's matching ocs, labelled under Sirens. The art shared is a large illustration that took the artist over 18 hours.

Sunni, a tan woman with blonde curly hair inspired by Marilyn Monroe, with a tube top bikini and conch shell clasp, and seashell accessories with a sun belly piercing. Her unseen Mythical form is a Golem.

Marina, a brown woman with dark curly hair and fully black glossy eyes, in a wraparound two piece teal two piece cover-up with old ropes across her body and a flower clasp on her shirt. She has many fishbone and shell accessories. Her unseen Mythical form is a Kraken.

Diadema, a new character & the queen of them all. She wears a long, form-fitting black dress with cleavage and hip cutouts, a white crown, and white bone-like shawl, earrings, and corset-inspired boning. She is vision impaired and disabled. Her unseen Mythical form is Phantom.

Sirena, with sunset-colored water hair and white seafoam fringe. Her top and necklace are fastened with white seafoam as well. She is very Ariel-inspired. Her Mythical form is Mermaid.

All women have facial markings in counts of 3, a Sand Dollar within their design, and detailed oceanic accessories. Diadema's sand dollar is cracked to symbolize her disability and chronic illness.

this is what it's like to advertise ur commissions

"Baby in pelican mouth" meme from tumblr user maverick.ornithography but every instance of baby is "oc" (Or original character) and every instance of pelican is replaced with "Artist". The pelican's mouth is full of different tablet pens.

The picture is an attempt from an artist to solicit commissions through humor and relatability. Artists typically live on a below-wage salary selling their work online and work long hours creating content against many odds including hostile algorithms, competitive market, and overall global economy.

🌸 pastel pink, baby blue 🌊

A pale woman with blue eyes, peachy lips, and long pink hair is displayed in a thigh-up drawing. She wears a detailed pastel robe with a short middle piece sewn together with exposed sides, and very long, baggy sleeves with white trim. She is accented by blue roses throughout, as well as horns and tassels. Her hair goes from a soft pink to a bright watermelon color. The background is a simple glittery ocean.

An art of a female figure with no head, instead at the base of her neck sprouts out several lilypads, and she has a ring of water circling around her, along with some fish.

it's 1 of those 'fanon opportunities better than actual show, good framework bad execution, only early seasons are worth seeing before commodification' shows that survived the early 2000s! it's definitely my comfort universe tho and the fan enchantix designs are BREATHTAKING on dA, IG, etc

especially when the furry representation for most non-furry artists boils down to the joke "haha furries will always pay me" not easy money - hardworking lifebloods tossing their disposable income @ artists, incl trusting new ones. my first commission with basically 0 followers was a furry
