My Art from Mermay 2025 (Part One)

 You can find the official prompt list for Mermay here. 

I've known about Mermay for several years but for a long time never participated. I liked seeing people's mermaid art, but when May came around I tended to forget. However, this year I decided to finally participate. The drawings you will see started out as sketches (in my sketchbook), and then were turned into digital art afterwards. (In a post some other time, I may show the photos of the sketches). 

Like my previous Inktober posts, this will be divided into parts. I do have Inktober art from last year, however, I will need to find the sketchbook I was using, before I can post all of it. But, I hope to post that art soon before next October. 

 Let's begin: 

#1 Mirror, this was the first sketch I did for Mermay. I decided to draw a mermaid looking at herself in a mirror underwater. 

#2 Cosmic, I decided to draw a mermaid in a sea that was present in the sky.  

#3 Hair, I decided to draw what a mermaid's hair might look like while underwater.

#4 Axolotl, a mermaid with her pet axolotl. I decided that it was like owning a poodle for mermaids. The mermaid's outfit and hair was based on 18th century clothes. 

#5 Drama, this mermaid is performing in a play where the mermaids play different creatures from land. In this play, she is acting as a bird.
