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.

The Centaur and the Siren

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater

A comic strip in four panels:

Panel 1. On a shore, a beautiful mermaid and a young centaur meet. They look at each other.

Panel 2. Close-up portrait of the two protagonists, both look away, blushing.

Panel 3. Later, at sunset, the two admire the sunset together, side by side. They're a couple.

Panel 4. The happy couple watches their two half-human, half-seahorse children playing in the water.
Narrator: A few years later...

NIGHTSHADE 🌿🌹🖤
character uses they/them

Sariel, the client's oc, is pictured in a digital art illustration. They're in a shaded glade pushing some bushes out of their path. They have black hair in a short ponytail and greyish-white front streaks left loose. Silvery buckles on their shirt and rings on their pointed ears draw the light. Splotched shadows and highlights show through the brush with some faint red flowers in the background complimenting their red and black shirt. Their skin is grey-purple and they have one red, one purple eye with scars on their face and a rose tattoo on their neck.

making progress on this beautiful lady 🥺

Digital art. A ghostly pale woman in a dark purple getup and black tentacle hair poses underwater in a murky green and purple background. She has one hand at her hips and (will have, undrawn) a sea urchin in the other. Seaweed and fish dot the picture. She looks haunting and beautiful. The picture is a WIP painting illustration.

A digital art wip of Venus, my original character in the popular trending broken heart top. She's wearing a miniskirt with a broken heart cutoff and a mini jacket. Her hands are forming a heart and she has one eye covering her face from her giant plant hair.The outfit is red, black, and silver, partially illustrated.

hi nodens!! here's my new zombie oc!

BLAKE 🏝 @aerifiretruck.bsky.social · 8d

aurora ⚓✨

a new siren! she represents the lost souls of the arctic.

she was resurrected under mysterious circumstances & despite her unusually fiery appearance, is cold as ice to the touch...

Digital art illustration. A ghostly pale woman with iridescent grey skin is sketched. She has pink to purple to blue to mint flame hair and an eyepatch with an anchor insignia covering her right eye. Her lips are a pale white and she has massive fangs. A flame-like marking covers her lower arm. Her top is a black bandeau and necklace with ripped glowing fabric covering her like a shawl. The picture is unfinished yet colorful. A 2017 drawing of the same character is displayed on the right as a simple bust with her blue tongue sticking out and a smirk on her ghostly face.

went through this recently i identified that grounding issue like it owed me 20 bucks lmaooo

BLAKE 🏝 @aerifiretruck.bsky.social · Aug 15

My ipad was drawing weird for weeks, SO frustrating. The brush wasn't lined up & randomly stopped mid stroke.

My friends, the brush I had bought had its custom shape off-center...

The random stops? Improper grounding from my charger cube, disrupting my pen signal.

My lines flow like a dream now 😭

BLAKE 🏝 @aerifiretruck.bsky.social · 15h

it's the grounding. change the charger when u can. some charger cubes don't ground well and it messes w ur pen bluetooth signal. it sounds like chemtrail conspiracy posting but it's literally the problem!! 😭

Meet Miasma ☠️☢️

'an influence or atmosphere that tends to deplete or corrupt'

An old adopt I've bartered back and a new Siren oc! She used to be a surfer, but now she's quite radioactive...

I'll update her design soon, I'm very excited for her addition to the group!

2024 || 2022

A monster girl with short ombre hair, dark skin, and sharp teeth has both hands on her hips in a thigh up portrait. Her chest, arms, and legs are covered in glowing green and inky black oil slick looking water, and she is wearing a two piece bikini. Her eyes are bright green as well. The setting is dark midnight with dark clouds, water, and birds, and a pale teal moon. The picture is oceanic yet haunting.

Originally drawn as an adopt in 2022 and touched up/shaded in 2025. The same monster girl with notably longer hair past her ankles poses in a manspread angle at front view. She's wearing the same outfit as the first photo. The picture is noticeably shinier, brighter, and more colorful with lots of sparkles. Her claws are extended and black goop seeps from her eyes, nose, and mouth, exposing her only-canines sharp teeth.

i just saw a turorial where they put a cut of steak on overlay mode and used that as ocean waves. WTF.

i can't believe i've been using brushes to lovingly render the sea this whole time. the solution is a new york strip hold the beef???
