New sprite asset: a mermaid to use for your own games 🧜‍♀️

She was originally designed for a baking-themed romance visual novel, but she would be a good fit for anything from a dating game to a dark fantasy narrative. Give her something to do this upcoming MerMay! gcbaccaris.itch.io/mermaid

wip wednesday of something for mermay
“Oh, you dropped your coat.” When Chan turns, he’s met with the most gorgeous alpha he’s ever seen holding his pelt. The alpha has dimples and bright red hair, and Chan wants to be stuffed full of his knot. “Here you go.” Too stunned by the alpha’s beauty to process what’s going on Chan’s hands reach out to take his pelt. For once, he wasn’t even trying to bait someone into picking it up. He genuinely dropped it, trying to pull a chair out, so Felix could set his mountain of bags down. Felix who is, of course, watching this entire exchanged with poorly hidden excitement.

When I first joined Bsky, i wasn't able to join Mermay due to lack of time, and Artfight prep.
I do plan on participating this year. In fact, I have something very special planned for the 8th in particular. :3

me: I should just start prepping for all of the art days (mermay, maid day, lny, etc) so I don't feel pressured and can enjoy the process
also me: if i make something why should i not receive instant gratification for it-

Wow, I actually went back to one of my WIPs! I need to go back more - especially on low mood days. I don't know why I'm always trying to come up with something new.

Mermay Day 29 - Twins

This is how I reveal that only Moon was even slightly based on a real fish(es). Sun is pure vibes lol.

Originally I was going to do something entirely different for this one, but Xmas preparations made me have to do something a bit more simple

my embroidery for mermay! not because it’s the only thing i actually finished but because it was my first and growing up with an extremely talented mum i’ve never considered myself a crafty person who can create something herself

Or perhaps it was the #MerMay giveaway I did? Turning your #furry characters in mermaids was so much fun! Definitely planning to do something like this again next year~

Today's guest for #artAdventCalendar was supposed to be a mermaid for #mermay but decided to move into a pond instead 🌿🦆

If you have lost something in a body of water, she might give it back in return for a story 🪙🌼

A digital drawing of a pond-dwelling mermaid with algae-like green hair, big yellow eyes and a smile that is exposing a single fang. She is resting her head on her arms, looking at the viewer from the border of a pond, surrounded by algae and lillypads. Some ducklings are swimming around her, one of them sitting on a lillypad on her head. There is also a river snail on her shoulder. The ground in front of her is covered in souvenirs she found in the lake such as a flower necklace, a brown leather wallet, a whale toy, a key,some small coins, a chess piece and what seems to be a smudged note. To the right side of the image, a frog with a golden crown is sitting on a yellow toy boat. The scene is illuminated by fireflies floating above the lake.

🌠
Merfolk renditions (and yet another long abandoned work in progress) of Kuja from Final Fantasy IX and Sal from Anthology of Anon (an OC from an original story of mine.) They are placed within a body of water, abundant with water lillies and other flora while sharing a more intimate moment. There is story material connected to this piece that not only depicts the lotus visually, but touches on its symbolism. Because it is a flower that represents rebirth and renewal, offering beauty beyond the murky waters from which it emerges, it aptly represents Kuja's experience in facing death before being presented with the opportunity of life again via Sal's kind - whether or not this life is indeed another life again or simply something beautiful and enduring to hold onto before his passing is a matter divided by two different endings that, if ever written, would be left up to the reader.

Something unfinished from Mermay. J.J. Hardwell (Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3) found some unfinished mutation based levels and now must navigate an underwater stage as a cheeked up merman! Maybe I'll get back to this at some point.
A rough sketch of J.J. Hardwell from Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 as a merman. But his ass is out for all to see. He laments: Were the underwater mutation levels really necessary? And why did my ass need to be out?

Honestly, my Steddie Big Bang because I've never written something that long and that coherent before so I felt really accomplished.

But a shorter one is my mermay fic "Rescue" because there are so many Star Trek references that make sense in context. 🤣🤣🤣

I had the idea after I finished Mermay. I thought it would be something fun to do for October.

Okay, so, this old WIP isn't really a full blown spicy (yet,) but the kiss alone is spicy enough for me.~ 💋🌊
-adds it to the spice rack anyway.-

Personally labeled as Suggestive, but this is a great example of something Bluesky may still find a way to mislabel, so the point still stands! Yet another long abandoned work in progress. Merfolk renditions of Kuja from Final Fantasy IX and Sal from Anthology of Anon (an OC from an original story of mine) sharing a rather spirited kiss below the waves. As this is an old and long abandoned work in progress, there are things like missing fins and dated design ideas present.

Def everyone else would be jealous watching all of that hot tentacle action~
