EVENT WRAP UP

🌊~ I received a total of 81 breathtaking entries! The response truly astounded me, with 43 submissions from Tumblr and 38 from Instagram. Thank you all for pouring your hearts into these marvelous mermaid artworks.

🌊~ Now, it’s time to select the winners. I will do a random draw to pick 2 winners who will each get 1 fullbody-flat color drawing of their submitted design. One winner will be from the Tumblr pool, and while another lucky winner will be selected from the Instagram submissions.

🌊~ I am incredibly grateful for the unexpected response I received for this event. It was my first event and I was expecting no more than ten submissions, so I am seriously overjoyed by how many artists added to this. Due to its immense success, I’m happy to announce that I will host the TWST Mermay Event again next year!

The winner for the Instagram draw is... themilkshanghai!

The winner for the Tumblr draw is... @the-trinket-witch !

@twisted-tech  Mermay! Here’s my shark bois official mer design ^^

*Runs in* Behold, an artwork for @twisted-tech's MerMay event! This is the first time I've done a MerMay drawing and it was an interesting experience.

Did you guys know that sea sponges (which is what the teddy bear is) grow on certain shells of hermit crabs, and that the hermit crab can just live in the sponge when the sponge overtakes the shells?

One of these hermit crabs is called Areopaguristes hummi, which is what Yuu is!

(I wrote somewhere that Floyd calls the teddy bear "sea sponge", and one scouring of the Wikipedia page for symbiotic/friendly relationships + a few Internet searches later, we have this.)

This is a colorized version of this work, which is for twisted-tech's Mermay event. In case it wasn't obvious, I'm hella basic with colored pencils. I feel unsure about this piece, but I did it so I'm going to put it out. Period.

"What a curious little thing...to wander so far into my Lord's domain."

Here's my entry for @twisted-tech's mermay event! This is the first time I've ever participated in something like this, and it was super fun! I'm so happy I got to join in.
