‘A Feast for the Birds’ - - personal project I’ve been chipping away at for the last few weeks. It’s been a picture I’ve had in the back of my mind since last summer when I did the innsmouth inspired picture and was exploring alternative mermaid designs. It’s really cool to finally be able to put it altogether into something that feels cinematic and polished. What do you all think? . . . . . . . . . . . . #art #artist #painting #digitalpainting #digitalart #photoshop #illustration #illustrator #thomaselliott #thomaselliottartist #thomaselliottillustrator #surreal #horror #mermaid #deepseacreature #deepseafish #monster #fantasy #fantasyart #lovecraft #hplovecraft #innsmouth #shadowoverinnsmouth https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvANgWqjjA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sirens (:

disclaimer under the cut-off in case someone wants to be the person to say "OH THIS PISSES ME OFF YOU PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A SIREN IS"

Please note that making my sirens "fish" was a decision based upon the fact that I have cryptids and creatures with feathers & wings already heavily present in my characters' universes, but no sea-related ones. Also if you want to argue about "original", Homer did not describe Sirens in the Odyssey. I am also aware that Sirens are alluded to not actually eat people, and do not create illusions but lure men with their song only. So you don't have to tell me how wrong I am for my depiction, this was a deliberate decision on my part.

I could be wrong, but while the bird body & maiden's head was a depiction later on, I believe that came from Ovid, and not Homer. The fish-people then was when Christians took over the myths if I have the correct information, and that's what we have today.

So just in case you are itching to tell me that I am uneducated or stupid, yes, I know, and I don't care, fish-people simply fit better and that's what the common man will think of anyway. Yes, I was influenced by Epic, but these Sirens tie into lore-related plots where one of the main characters sails the sea in order to retrieve his partner. Making a sea creature was a pretty convenient thing, and why not a Siren. I like designing merfolk in general. The lore here would really be that someone calls them Sirens *due* to the mistake myth, but it catches on, so nobody else bothers to change the terminology. This does happen in real life (: We people do this.

Deep Sea Basics

For Inktober daily prompt: 9. Pressure I share the retro fascination with deep sea diving gear, and I always loved the nightmarish creatures of the deep, and the prompt allowed both, so, great. This fish is almsot cute though, for an angler.

2 new sea monsters I made

Just wanted to share this original character design of a tubeworm Denizen of the Deep for Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion before midnight/New Years. Honestly I started the design roughly around the time the expansion was released, but I never got around to actually finishing it until about this past June or July, but I never posted it, sorry about that😅. But I figured it would be alright if I at least posted it before midnight, New Year's Day, in my region of the world. A quick bit about it, I had decided to do a tubeworm because they are some of the more well known creatures of the deep sea, anglerfish being another example. Frankly I was waiting for the DLC to come out so I could see if tubeworm NPCs were added, thankfully for me they were not. Seeing as how every Denizen of the Deep is more or less distracted by something I chose to have this tubeworm denizen be distracted by their makeup, as people sometimes compare tubeworms to a tube of lipstick, due to their appearance. I had also decided to have them wear a white sweater dress to replicate the tube-like shell the worms inhabit, and to try to give it a bit of an 80's aesthetic to try and match Octo Expansion's. Any how, happy New Year to where ever you are, where I am we only have some odd amount of minutes left. Here's hoping this new year will be a good one, and I'll try to post more art a bit more. #splatoon #splatoon2 #octoexpansion #splatoonart #splatoon2art #octoexpansionart #nintendo #denizenofthedeep #deepseafish #deepsea #originaldesign #originalcharacter #characterdesign #conceptart #fanart #tubeworms #sweaterdress #drawing #prismacolor #betterlatethannever https://www.instagram.com/p/B6w8lgsFHVu/?igshid=17on6vjqxdb6l
