I really wasn't sure about posting just one pic at a time or not, but I guess I'm just dumping all the ones I had so far of the original version of The Big Merman AU! Tho for the original, I'll just be calling it The Giant Merman! Also the second pic is an alt of this one (I included both the shaded and non shaded just so people can see his coloring better).
I honestly don't have a whole lot figured out so far and the differences, but obviously they are still quite similar to Bobby and Pietro in looks but also in personality a bit. I think they also kind of grew as their own characters just by being in a different kind of setting, so I felt it worked branching off. I came up with the names Sylvanus for the mer and Ronan for the human.
I still am trying to figure out if I'd have it where Sylvanus actually didn't speak English at first, but if he didn't, I think he would learn surprisingly fast bc he's very intelligent. I think Ronan would also be a bit more into science and would basically spend a lot of time tutoring Sylvanus on language and all he knows about how the world works. I think Sylvanus might actually get better at spelling than Ronan is haha One other difference I guess would be that he'd be buck ass naked when he first comes to land haha I guess there are a bit more similarities to Splash with some of this. Regular fish out of water kind of story. But I think it might be fun to have as a book maybe if I can get that going~
I hope you guys also enjoy these original versions! I still will continue having fun with the mer AU as is with Bobby and Pietro as well, but I did also want to do this!
I didn't settle on ages, but they are over 20 in this and Ronan is 6ft and Sylvanus in human form is about 6'4". Still about 80ft in mer form.
