MerRufus 2

My second Mermay piece! And of Course it's Rufus again 🤗

This time MerRufus is neither aggressive nor in mating act. So if you noticed the description from last year's piece, that means you can't see the bright colours on his body. He's just chilling in this shallow water, taking a sun bath so to speak, as MerTseng shows up. I learnt a lot while drawing this and I think I improved, compared to last year's piece. Which is great!

Enjoy 🤗

MerRufus

I am so proud of my first MerMay picture. I learnt so much while painting this.

This is Rufus Shinra as Merman. You can see the colours of his clothes in his fishtail. The main colours are white and anthracite, while the purple of his collar (which I made more vibrant) and the red (which represents the red of Shinra) are only visible when he is aggressive or during mating.

Soo in this case I would advise you to leave asap 😉
