What's wrong, babe? You haven't touched your Snickle.

I love how I can post the most low effort sketch imaginable and The People™ repeatedly reblog and note it like it's the holy grail or some shit, but then I post anything else and it's like

":O. Fantasy opinion?? me TOO."

I love Tumblr.

Wings of Fire Mud+Rain hybrid I made recently. Name's Iguana.

Might start posting more WoF art and story stuff since I have a few stories that have been sitting around collecting dust.

Prob going to start semi-daily posting about mythology/fantasy stuff and world-building. Got a lot I want to share.

Today I'm gonna talk about mermaids, sirens, and finfolk.

First off, I think that mermaid variations should be way more similar to how different actual humans should be, like, not everyone has waffle abs or watermelons, and not everyone has perfect, luscious locks of hair. Some should be "ugly" (tbh, that word literally only depends on what an individual thinks), some should be "average" (again, depends on how you think of it), and yes, some should still be pretty or handsome. Make variety, and don't give everyone same-face syndrome!

Aside from appearance, something I like to add to mermaids is distinct and specific kinds of fish tails, depending on where they're from and their family genes. I also generally tend to either give them really short hair for convenience or really long hair for style; that part is just something I personally like to do.

As for sirens, I think they should have more predatory looks, sharp teeth, and bodies built for either speed or strength, for pursuing or drowning prey. They would mainly stay around foggy, low visibility areas, so their silhouette and voice could trick men/women into getting closer. I don't have much to say about sirens aside from that, mainly because I barely ever see depictions of sirens in media that are much different from what I described.

When it comes to finfolk, though, they're a bit more niche than the other two. I myself had to do a bit of digging to find out about them. They're sea creatures that can be humanoid, but can also shapeshift, and are predatory. I like depicting them more like "sea monsters" than general fish-tailed humanoids, giving them expressive frills where ears normally would be, shark fins, sharp teeth, and generally very dark, almost black eyes. If you haven't heard of finfolk, I recommend looking them up, because they are very interesting once you get to know about them.

Hope this wasn't a time waster!

Alien cats are so silly they're just little guys. I love them. There's nothing in the world that could change my mind. I feel immeasurable joy just looking at them.

Postponed due to other projects clashing and priorities. May not even be done this year, idfk.

I need more non-muscular male mermaids in fiction. Give variety. I don't care if they are supposed to be pretty, give me something different from "handsome, muscular siren/mermaid" and "beautiful, fit siren/mermaid". I made an entire shape-shifting species based on mythology and named after a mythical creature because I wanted that variety extended. Take some inspiration from Finfolk.
