THE PEARL OF THE ABZU (SKY MERMAY 2022 ILLUSTRATION SERIES).

CLOUDS - FLOWERS - JELLYFISH - SEASHELLS - BUTTERFLIES

"What's it like to share your life among the clouds?  To bask in the sunlight and soar through the brisk air alongside those you love?  All of the stories your mother told me about your life as a mortal ... today is the day I will do the same. I just want to see the Light."

Meet TAPUSHEA, a piece of ASEA that separated itself in secret to live among Light Children and get to know The Primordial Light's life better as a mortal.

Some of my favorite works from 2022! I had such an amazing time creating each piece, but unfortunately I was too exhausted to finish the last prompt in the prompt list by the time May ended. This not only was Tapushea's debut into my Paracosm's lore, but also the first concepts of ABZU CHILDREN, a special breed of Light Children who worship the sea goddess ASEA and instead of flight, they are given breath underwater.

This particular prompt list was made by @/elby.draws in 2022 on Instagram.

There are mermaids living among us, using magic to shape the water to their needs.

hhhh sun and moon mermay au

they aren't any specific species, though i did see some images of betta fish and took some artistic inspiration lol

anyways, here's some random side facts under the cut:

- sun is energetic and exciteable, kind and curious

- his bite is poisonous and it paralyzes his prey

- hunts by basically pretending to be bait? then strikes when you least expect it (though there's no malice behind the action)

- moon is cautious and wary, distant and protective

- they look all spikey but the spikes are actually soft and do no harm

- usually fiercely protects sun even though sun is more than capable of taking care of himself

(- protectiveness led to a bunch of scars)
