💖Hyperfocused on You💖

didn't expect friend inside me to be gay. maybe i'm a bad person

rolls up my sleeves. Fine. I’ll do it myself.

I'm kinda bummed that I haven't had the time to do all the Dispatch Mermay art I had planned to do this month due to my impending college graduation

BUT

I was able to do these little pen doodles so I hope it makes up for it. I was gonna try to do the whole Z Team but I don't have the time, so instead I just did my favorite ships in the fandom

Fish choices (in case anyone's curious)

Robert: Lanternfish, chosen due to bioluminescence & also being sort of the "everyman" of the fish world. Robert is pretty unassuming so his fish type should be as well

Flambae is flamboyant, so a lionfish was a natural choice for him. I could've given him more fins but I was kinda pressed for time

Punch-Up: Betta Fish, because they're feisty little guys and he's a feisty little guy. I could've made him a saltwater fish instead, BUT I really liked the juxtaposition of the carnival strongman getting the elegant flowing fins

Phenomaman: Gulper eel. Despite not being from earth, he still gets to participate in the fun. I chose a gulper eel because most deep sea creatures are fairly alien in appearance. The exposed gills & glowing lure at the end of his tail are a nice nod to that

I was listening to one of my old playlists I made in highschool the other day, and both Pork Soda by Glass Animals & Habits by Tove Lo came up, so that inspired this sort of sequence

Some of the Z Team takes Robert out clubbing, Flambae showing up late as he worked up the courage to see Robert in this sort of setting. Prism helped dress Robert, since we know he doesn't own that many clothes, and though he's not used to it he pulls off a mesh shirt and ripped jeans quite well.

Eventually they meet up with the rest of the group on the dance floor

I don't think the entire team specifically went to this club, some of them had other commitments, but I'd imagine Coupé is here somewhere I just did not draw her. Also I apologize for what Phenomaman is wearing, I *could not* think of an outfit for him and just threw him in a mesh bodysuit. Not horribly out of character if you think about how much skin he's showing on the Deluxe version of the game's artwork but I definitely think I'll revisit this outfit for him in the future

If not just to draw everyone's fits without the heavy pink tint to them

You are very welcome 😌 here have more

Decided to do a more detailed version of their clubbing outfits
