Today's drawing was created by our colleague and longtime friend, King (LovelyWingsArt), and features a semi-chibi portrait of the merman Rosas!

This adorable little bastard is ready to enchant you with his smooth talk (and his posh English accent, combined with a temperament that's not exactly that of an old-time gentleman...).
Even though in this version his beard isn't as trimmed as usual (the cut that normally separates the goatee from the sideburns is missing), Rosas loves experimenting with new looks, and the "full" beard (meaning not broken, not untrimmed—that would be sacrilege for him!) is something he occasionally decides to sport, if he thinks it might be beneficial in his, ahem... conquests...

Rosas is one of the characters in Fish Don't Cry! Check him out if you're looking for a mysterious, magical, and marine biology-filled adventure!

New lil' episode of Fish Don't Cry!

(Slightly delayed because of fever, weakness, fullbody muscle pain and above all, eye discomfort caused by light.)

Seras Alkahest is a powerful magician, and if there's something to know about her, is that she will do her best to get what she wants, with kindness or with force. Is she offering her hand or taking yours?

MerMay 29th of 2026.

I am booked in to the hotel of Swancon50 which opens officially tomorrow, so it's going to be very busy for me for the rest of MerMay, but I will get some sort of drawing in for the remaining days hopefully. This is the last one that is going to be of any quality I think, but who knows?

This dolphin like mer guy is on his way somewhere fast!

Drawn with the Kakimori and Rainbow Scarab Ink.

Sangreal and Rosas have both been chosen by Seras to play the role of her very own "moray eels" but... not only they are very different from each other, but also neither are exactly Muraenidae, aaand they might also belong to species that usually don't get along. At all.

What's her deal? 👀

Just wanted to draw the fishmen colleagues together, they both have such fun textures to color!

This mischievous merperson is about to splash someone out of view.

Drawn with the Kakimori nib and who doesn't love Rainbow Scarab from Van Diemen's Ink?

This was a fun and simple one to work on! It’s not often I work on a merfolk with a long tail but it was fun to do so, having their tail make a swirl was quite fun and helped put focus on the element. This isn’t my first time working on a pic of MerAmity but it was fun to do a different expression and try to capture that wonder while Gul looks excited.

If you like it, leave a comment! 😄
