Screaming into the abyss

It's @theinfamousdoctorf 's Sun and Eclipse from emhm!

Anyone entering Eclipse's mindscape seems to take on a fleshy, amphibian, almost starfish-like look and texture, and just beneath them is the sprawling labyrinth of the backrooms. Thought they'd fit really well for Mermay, I'm glad I just about managed to finish these in time!!!!

The way that Paul Kidby draws things associated with the Death of the Discworld. He maintains the original description of his household as being everything black on black and then edges it with just the barest violet-blue to indicate supernatural things are afoot. But it’s an effect I’ve used in my own paintings as well. The black-white monochrome plus that one color is so nice to look at. And it bounces the bits of yellow on Eclipse and makes them glow even more. I can FEEL the dangerous teetering on that edge too.

Poor sun looks so confused hanging there. <3 like I could give him a little push and he’d just sort of spin like when a mama otter fluffs up a baby and leaves them floating. XD

The texture on Eclipse’s rays is so so nice. It looks rubbery and perfect. His reaction to shedding that water is also spot on. And his pinch-an-inch. Poor thing is not used to having a little fat.<3

The spikiness on the backs of their arms and calves was a good choice. I like Creature from the Black Lagoon feel.

Thank you so so much. I love your artwork. <3

Sun has no idea what's happening anymore, and now I can't get the image out of my head of eclipse or sun playfully spinning the other in the water and darting away XD

Glad you like the spikey limbs!!!!! Wanted them to feel strange and adapted to being streamlined in the water, and you can never go wrong with adding a pinch of the creature from the black lagoon into art 😆

Thank you again and as a further confirmation, the tails and webbed feet are artist renditions/mermay editions only!! The actual designs lack tails, and posses feline-esque paws like killcode.

What is with these dumb silly poses he hits why does he move like that what

It was really fun to carry him around and photograph him in the dioramas (thanks doll north)! Thank you everyone who complimented him! You are all awesome!

He sits very politely, very sweet boi...

YOU'RE BEING SHRIMP CHECKED!!!!....

You FAILED SUCCESSFULLY!!!
