there are many young merfolk out there, so i felt the desire to create a badass elder for mermay :) she’s as much derived from as she is dedicated to the vuvalini of MMFR– i also sincerely hope she brings joy to my mutuals older than me who always delight and inspire me, and to all older women in fandom, really, who i continuously thought of while working on her

i hope it’s obvious but just in case: she’s beluga / inuit. and yes, a name and backstory eventually developed! haha

[aeroknot]

oh y’all this is my first non-fanart piece to break 1k notes and i’m SO excited it’s enthusiasm for this design in particular! thank you; i’m so relieved and encouraged by the warm responses 🙏🏻💙

[ID: A digital painting of an older merperson underwater, staring intently at the viewer with dark eyes and a harpoon in her right hand. She has dark skin, short white hair, a bare torso with sagging breasts, and traditional Inuit tattoos on her face, chest, right hand, and left upper arm. The left arm ends just below the tattoo, at the elbow. Her tail is that of a beluga with more tattoos on the flukes. The water behind her shows light coming from above and cold darkness below. The painting is signed by the artist, accompanied by print reading “Aeroknot ‘19” /end ID]
