Mayternity 2026 day 28: Mermay
What is this? Momster manual is my attempt to draw various mayternity inspired monsters every day during month of may, with small side part for bits of lore and maybe even rules on occasion. Monsters will be either individual charcters or representatives of a type of creature.
Image sets will consists of few monsters with same theme.
This is third image of the Maiesta RPG set, for it feels most fitting to end the month with, after all, what month of mayternity and rpgs, if you don't touch the RPG for the theme....
Mayternity 2026 day 28: The Whale-Maid of Southern Seas
"The rich merchants started avoiding the seas around here a while back, they said pirates, though no pirate ships would ever appear, until one day, one would wash up on the shore, he talked of sea monsters, cannons and a great fat mermaid that would lure them to their doom, tales of sirens you know, but probably just mad ramblings of a madman..."
I return to tradition of mermay, with drawing my first maiesta rpg character, and felt perhaps it would be amusing to give her some rules as well as a monster, after all, if you are in a fancy ship perhaps you too want a fight with a big mermaid...
