Dragonet!
(I drew this in 2 hours late at night, forgive the anatomy! 😂)
I love the new song! Incredibly addicting, and another super niche subject that I can relate to hard from YonKaGor. Without spoiling too much, the song is exactly as its title suggests- grappling with the fear of death after finding someone or something you love, particularly as someone struggling with mental illness and can act impulsively. I feel like this was such a random "oh I'm just weird" way to ever feel; Yon back at it again with giving voice to internal struggles that otherwise has no way of describing!
So excited for the MV tomorrow, and I had such a great time drawing so much YonKaGor content in the past week as hype built! Still completely geeked out over Yon retweeting my art......
(Psst! I don't like to ramble much on my main but I have a new side blog for that stuff (and asks and reblogging), so feel free to swing by! @cocorambliez)
A new member to the Yonkat family- Dragonet! A Mandarinfish (Mandarin Dragonet) theme for the next song.
Many are expecting the upcoming song to be I Still Create, but when I first saw this design, I thought of a Dandelion revisit or something. But after googling the fish, I think I'm leaning towards the former again, as the fish...
- Are popular in aquarium showcases
- Are extremely colourful and artsy
- Are an Indonesia tourist attraction for divers
This could fit metaphorically with I Still Create, with an underlying theme of being pretty and attractive to others but not being able to recognise that self worth in yourself.
But we'll just have to wait and see! Those are my thoughts!
fish or treat!
Fish you say? I hope you like your mandarinfish!

#Mermay2025 :: Mandarin Dragonet
It's been tough, but I really wanted to at least post for Mermay! Long time since I've done one of these: just a simple mermaid; maybe she might eat you.
This one is loosely based on the Mandarinfish, or the Mandarin Dragonet. 🐠
@iambees finished the rest of the belcher family

Mandarin Fish
Manadarin fish aka Mandarin dragonet is one of two vertebrate species known to have blue coloring due to cellular pigment. They reach a maximum size of about 6cm (appox. 2 3/8 inches).
They are native to the Pacific and have an apporximate range from Australia to Ryukyu Island. They are found in warmer waters and are reef dwellers with a preference for inshore reefs and sheltered lagoons.
They have a mixed diet, feeding primarily on small crustaceans and other invertebrates.
Instead of scales these fish produce a smelly and bitter slime implying that their coloration is aposematic (think poison dart frogs).
While they are popular in the aquarium trade (likely due to their visual appearance) they are rather difficult to keep with many refusing to eat anything that isn't the live version of their natural prey.
They are listed as least concern.
