Mermay #18 - Dottyback Mer Been hanging onto a google search of one of these guys for a while. So I decided to draw one up quickly to post after last night’s pic. She was surprisingly fast to make... I couldn’t have taken more than 30 minutes start to finish to produce this. Probably more like 10-20 just to make her. Felt like less than that for sure. XD So here’s a little Dottyback mer. Three behind still... gotta keep truckin! XP
