Sea Siren's Grotto

As a little girl, Elodie never dreamed of being a mermaid like so many of her peers. She was afraid of deep water and sharks, always sticking to the shallows or the beach itself. How could she have known her eventual fate? On vacation swimming over a reef she wasn’t comfortable around, with coworkers she didn’t even really like, she’s bitten by something she can’t describe. What follows is a more hellish week of her life than she could have ever anticipated even in her worst nightmares. Itching, scale like rashes. Strange developments of webbed flesh. Slowly drying out, no matter how much she drank or bathed. The dreams of so many others became her horrible reality in a harrowing fight for her life. The loss of her job, her apartment, her legs.

Little fishy man

That is how my little fishy friends appear, they are mostly rescue cases from trafficking, accidents, etc and become permanent residents at Nueva Alejandria Aquarium and Sanctuary. The only finished drawings I have for now are of Lysander and Lynus, a Longnose Hawkfish mer and a Tiger Shark mer respectively.

Sebastian is a deep sea monster / sea witch??? Not really based on any particular fish (cause I'm too scared to look at actual deep sea creatures :))))

I got tired of having to scrounge up pictures for Nereid's tail and jewelry, so I made a reference sheet.
