With the occasion of Mermay I recently dug up some old artwork from 2021 featuring alien fish people, it was basically fanart for Ayreon's concept albums The Source and 01011001. Thought I'd share them here because why not. I'm no longer into Ayreon but it has a special place in my heart, I really loved these concept albums and made fanart of my own interpretations / designs of the characters 🥹♥️

Might share more old Ayreon fanart that I actually still like later if I feel like it, even if mermay is over.

Do you like the concept of the opera, but wish it were a bit more modern? Do you enjoy the power of a full symphony orchestra? Do you love fantasy stories? You should listen to Avantasia.

You may have a teaser.

As a treat.

Lord Cremortius, inspired by The Legend of Valley Doom Part 3 (or how I envision him). Not much else to say. Done during Easter. Had lots of fun. Really into knights in weird armour right now (I mean more than usual).
