It took like 10 times before the wheel chose someone I hadn't already drawn for mermay before. It was delightful when it finally chose Ember, my fire imp OC. Thought it would be fun to draw a fire based mermaid instead of having her underwater. I'd like to think she's swimming through lava.

I was very worried that I wouldn't be able to finish this week's drawing in time because I've been busy but I got it done. Thankfully, Leith ended up being an easy model that I could draw quickly. Ngl I love the excuse of drawing flowy lines in these mermaid drawings.

Here's my OC Rook doing a partial transformation. He's one of my OCs that I don't draw enough so it was nice drawing him for this week. I may need to reevaluate his colors as his clothes tend to blend together a bit.

Really wanted to do a compilation drawing for a minute so when the Wheel of OCs chose Sophia, I went for it. Sophia has interest in fashion so I looked up some outfits on pinterest and put her in a variety of outfits.

Last mermay post for this year focuses on Saira. I went the aquarium this past weekend and got inspired for her tail shape while there. Its honestly surprising that I hadn't already done Saira as she is lowkey one of my favorite OCs.

Still working on the bigger drawing since the deadline was extended. I've shared this drawing before but not by itself. This is from OC birthday drawing series from 2018-2019. I really want to revisit drawing Denise's tattoos at some point.

The wheel has decided and Arielle is the subject for this week's drawing! I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make her a catfish inspired mermaid. I cannot resist drawing Arielle showing off her claws.

It's May, so time to bring back the mermaids! I let the wheel decide which of my OCs gets to kick off the month this year so we have Hepsiba. I really love how this turned out. The arm fins are a nod to her usual shawl.
