Week 1 #Mermay wip. 🧜♀️
I’m officially done with the watercolor part of the painting and will be moving to gouache for details next. My carpal tunnel is acting up so I’m going slower than I’d like. But I hope to be finished by the weekend. 🤞

I thought people would be kinder to me as a bank teller vs someone that worked with food. But no matter where you go you’ll still encounter rude people sadly. 😔

So now that I finished all of Sarah J Maas’s books I’m going to finally commit to the Wheel of Time. It’s only 14 books how hard can it be. 😂

More Mermay paintings! So this is also from 2021. I did the stupid thing of trying to paint a painting for each prompt given - realized it was impossible. I ended up painting 6 in total. This was one themed “Queen”.

MerMay Day 01 - Mirror
One day I wake up, and WHAAAAAT!!!!! I BECAME A MERMAID.
This is the perfect way to start the MerMay month, featuring: The movie poster for Finding Nemo, and the scared fish from Dave the Diver.

I’m so tired of my art being tagged as sexual content on TikTok. There is absolutely nothing sexual about my mermaid drawings. 🙄
Pic down below as an example. Like I see so much gore and blood. But god forbid if I show a little bit of cleavage.

I think it’s important to recognize that if you’re a traditional artist in this day and age there is nothing wrong with that. Digital art is great but if it’s not what you enjoy don’t force yourself to do it. Just do you and the rest will fall into place. 💖

We officially only have 2 story arcs left in my Sunday #dnd campaign! We’ve been playing in this campaign for 4 years. So it’s a bittersweet feeling being this close to the ending.

So we started a #ffxiv #pathfinder campaign on the side of my main one on Sundays. The concept was tiny lizard girl with big Axe. 🤭
She needs a name still though. 🤔
