Last year, my first year on Tapas, I discovered something called Mermay, where you draw your OC's as merpeople. Is that a thing this year?
Last year I did this one of Daecon as a Merman. I didn't give him a fish tail because in my Shapeshifter world they cannot take the forms of fish (or invertebrates either). Instead I turned his feet into flippers, gave him pearlescent scales, and added translucent fins. This was a milestone drawing for me, as it was done while I was still learning to do different effects, and the pearlescent scales and translucent fins were both my first attempts at such effects (as was the water, including the rippling surface and the coral).
This year I'll probably do one of Daecon and Evander together
