Here’s my piece for the @mermaidszine! I’m really into body horror lately? So this was a lot of fun to write!

I had the joy of collaborating with the wonderful artist @wanlingnic! Please check out her work! <3

Fandom: Original Fiction

Title: Reprisal

Rating: M

Themes: mermaids, revenge, body horror, Victorian-inspired fantasy

————————————————————

The air is humid, pungent with seawater; the scent of salt hangs heavy in his nose. He can hear small waves washing over rocks.

He opens his eyes. Darkness.

He sits up. His body tenses with the echoes of pain. He pulls up his legs, presses his face against them. His trousers are damp, and through a tear in the knee, goose pimples prickle against his cheek. He wraps his arms around himself and shivers.

The nausea passes. He lifts his head. A shaft of light strikes the steely blackness of water several paces off. He follows the light to its source: a small crack in a ceiling of brown stone— a sliver of moonlight. He looks around him—the same brown stone.

He tries to stand, but his legs resist. He turns onto his knees and manages to push himself to his feet but stumbles almost immediately, catching himself against the coarseness of a cave wall. He pauses there to recover his breath.

Did he go overboard? His boots are gone. So are his stockings, his coat, his hat, his cravat, all of his effects. The sleeves of his undershirt are torn up his forearms, and what remains of his waistcoat hangs from his shoulders by threads. His trousers are ripped apart at the ankles. Perhaps he was lost in a storm, but something about it all feels uncomfortably deliberate...

Not only did I get to make some bookmarks for @mermaidszine but I also got to make some postcards! I wanted to capture that “seaside vacation” feeling with these, and I’m really happy with how they turned out!

[littlemissviart]

I’ve been meaning to share this here for a while! I made some merch for @mermaidszine while back and now that orders have been sent out it’s time to share what I made!

These were Mucha inspired mermaid bookmarks! It was so cool to see them come to life! I’m thankful for the opportunity to be creative with my fave mythical creatures!

part 2! 🌊✨♥ man i LOVE mermaid princesses… @mermaidszine

[muwadesu]

Finally I get to post my artworks that I did for @mermaidszine ♥✨🌊 I had a wonderful time creating these pieces, it’s like a dream come true! So grateful for this opportunity… This is the 1st piece~

[chikao-art]

we’re able to post our pieces for @mermaidszine!! I titled this piece “Inkwell” The initial concept was a murky inky kind of ocean with a bio-luminescent creature spilling out of an ink bottle. Even though I was pretty loose in terms of following that idea I really like the spooky vibe of this piece!! One of my personal favs so far!!

My piece from @mermaidszine with Japanese merm.

🐡 Revealing the illustration I did for @mermaidszine last year. Thank you for accepting me as an artist contributor. I’ve always wanted to do an underwater undead scene with the ocean’s scavengers. Looked at lots of time-lapses of starfish.
