Artist propaganda I’m not falling for (and you shouldn’t either):

ARTIST PROPAGANDA I'M NOT FALLING FOR:
X Pulling
all-nighters to make art proves you’re dedicated to your craft
X True artists draw every single day
X Only make friends with fellow artists cuz they’ll get you gigs someday
X Freelancing is for artists who can't get a "real" studio job
X Drawing fanart is cringe
X Your portfolio should only have what studios want to see

Got the final character designs for the lead singer and bass player in PunkMaids done. I don't yet have a name for the shirtless hottie.

A tattooed shirtless bass player. He's muscular with dark skin, and sports dreadlocks (with the sides of the head shaven) held in a ponytail.

Lead singer of the band who is called Rook. He has red shoulder length hair, with an option for him to wear it in a punk mohawk too. He wears an all black outfit with red tennis shoes. He also has a variety of tattoos all over his body.

Might turn it into a cute animated loop.

#mermay day 26: Memory.
I used to watch The Little Mermaid on vhs (dubbed in Italian) every day when I was little. I guess that explains a lot about me.

A little girl with pigtails seen from behind as she’s sitting crosslegged on the floor. It is nightime and she is watching The Little Mermaid on vhs on an old school tv.

Betta Smaragdina Mermaid for Mermay 2025

This year there will be 6 new mermaids inspired by betta fish. Bettas are very popular among aquarium fish, there are more than 70 species and they are great for bright fantasy characters designs.

#mermay Day 18: Abracadabra. Of course I thought of Zatanna for this one.

A drawing of Zatanna as a mermaid, with her lower fish half magically sectioned so that her fins are peeking through the inside of a top hat she's holding in her hand

#mermay Day 14: Brave. I thought of a Joan of Arc-esque idea for this one.

A silvery mermaid surrounded by an army of narwahls is leading them towards the surface to attack a ship that pollutes the water with oil leaks.

Hi! Congratulations on hitting 1K followers, that’s a big achievement, and I thank you for hosting this artshare!
As for me, I’m just a simple artist who enjoys drawing lots of mermaids.

The original drawing:

An child’s drawing, cca early 90s. It’s a mermaid with highlighter yellow hair and pink tail and top; there’s also a castle, stars, a carriage in the background, some trees, all very obviously colored with highlighter pens. an extra piece of paper (a cutout) of another blue tailed mermaid is next to the main drawing (this one colored with just regular pens).

Jadenite @jadenite.bsky.social · May 12

I have a theme combo today for #mermay: 11. Guard x 12. Redraw
What did I redraw you ask? A drawing that’s over 30 years old made by yours truly!

A pink mermaid in a purple seahorse-drawn carriage is stopped by a blue mermaid wearing a roman style helmet; the blue mermaid is writing something on her shell-pad (presumably a speeding ticket).

Look at her! It was a joy to draw her!

Thanks so much again to @jadenite.bsky.social for this amazing drawing of my mermaid OC, Kale! She looks so good!!! 🤩

A mermaid with green hair and a pink sweatband looks upon a treasure with greed. She has tan skin, a green tail with scales going up her body. She has a messenger bag that is covered in pins and other goodies.

Skipping #mermay prompts this weekend and clearing my head with some random #doodles in a notebook.

Thank you very much! It is a truly excellent movie!

It's #mermay time now. Day 8 theme is Atlantis. I was torn between the obvious choice (Kida) and evil hottie Helga, but Kida won out because I love her color scheme.

I'm actually early this time with the #mermay prompt!
It's Myiazaki for day 7, and I chose to recreate the flying geese scene from Kiki'd Delivery Service, but as an underwater version :)
#art #noai

A mermaid version of Kiki from the eponymous Studio Ghibli animated feature, riding her broomstick and watching at a group of stingrays making their way through the water.

The reference screenshhot, in which Kiki is human and she's flying along on her broomstick as she watches a group of wild geese soaring in formation over some green fields.

Day 6 of #mermay - Sweet Treat is the prompt.

I obviously missed the previous two, and #MayTheFourth.

A colorful scene: A shirtless dude with short white hair and lots of tattoos has an ice cream cone in each hand and is handing one of them to a curvy mermaid in a wheelchair. The mermaid is bald, but has the spiky texture of a puffer fish on her head and shoulders. She wears a black latex corset and her overall color scheme is light pink with hot pink accents.

Thank you! You might be right about the can.

Gonna post mermay and MaytheFourth drawings with a significant delay, because there's presidential elections here today and I'm currently following this subject intensely.
