A mermaid AU where Jayce still tries to survive with his mother in a cold land. One day, as he is at his lowest, ready to throw himself in the sea from the highest cliff, he sees a merman (Viktor) trashing in the shallow water, trapped in a fishnet and injured.

Ever since I started crocheting and discovered just how much I enjoyed it, I wanted to take a stab at recreating one of my own characters. So I've been chipping away at this little Mip doll in my free time for the past three months, and to see her finally complete is super exciting!

Much of this project relied on a seahorse mermaid pattern by PinkMouseBoutique, but there are a handful of details in Mip's design that weren't covered by the pattern - including arm fins, ear fins, wavy hair, and her blue markings/facial features. I had to do a lot of experimentation and internet scouring to find solutions for these details (which is probably why this doll took so dang long, haha). But the creative problem solving involved in this project was honestly really fun, and to see it all come together was very rewarding! I even created my own pattern for her hair and I'm SO proud of that! This challenge allowed me to develop a bunch of skills that will definitely help during future projects c:

I'm honestly just really happy with how she turned out and am so grateful for this new art form I can enjoy!

She also has a wire skeleton, which means her arms and tail are posable! I'm glad she's able to hold the shells she loves so much ;w;

shrinking is more fun with a friend

He LOVES being human-sized. The hugs are the best part of being this size

This wouldn’t have happened if there was just more water!

@rosescarletful MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

I was your secret Santa!! I knew I wanted to draw your Mer bois very early on!! Took a bit for me to come up with how to make it festive, but then the idea of them watching fireworks came to me and I saw this picture so clearly jsjdjdjf. For the fun of it I also want to share my process of making this piece!! You can see that below the cut.
