Some merfolk... that isn't ours!
Commissions for LovelyWingsArt.

1. the scary mer couple of Emelia and Karl! She's a leopard seal mermaid, he's a tiger shark, together they're a formidable couple of predators (although sharks do sometimes eat seals in other circumstances * nervous laughter *)

2. Adalwulf, the proud son of a leopard seal mermaid and a tiger shark merman. Other than being half and half when it comes to species, he also happens to have a personality made of two "halves" that coexist peacefully.

"Matri du Mari", is the title, in Sicilian, of this illustration. It means "Mother of the Sea", and features Scylla, the oldest (and biggest) pistrix, meeting a... young child, that definitely shouldn't be there, under the waves.

What is happening? Why? This is a thing that you decide.

There are many ways this could be interpreted, and we wanted it to be open to the viewer imagination.

(This ballpoint pen illustration was created specifically for an art show, and we love to challenge a bit the viewer, especially given the themes of the show... that we won't say here, shh! ;)).

A drake explores the coral reef... and hey, who's watching from afar?

We took our time with this piece, finally managing to take the time to include tons of detail (and animals) like we haven't done in a long time! We hope this underwater ecosystem looks more alive than ever!

First part of a mixed 'n complex commission for RodonEndwell, done with ballpoint pen. It will be colored, so stay tuned!
