Blood in the Water sketches pt2

Two more sketches from Blood In The Water. These are the last sketches (please excuse that horrible anatomy in the first image) but I need names for these guys if I keep posting stuff of them.

Let's go with... Meg for our shark girl and Amy for buff girl. 

I mentioned that Meg can shapeshift. You saw her human-ish and shark-ish forms yesterday, but she can go full shark.

But she's not full shark here...

Here we go! This is Meg's big secret. Well, one of them. She looks similar to a great white, but she's actually a Megalodon. (Meg? Megalodon? Get it? Y-you get it? Haha?)

Meg usually isn't in her full shark form, because it would require a lot of space and a LOT of food. She usually only uses it to go deeper, where the pressure is too much for modern sharks. Luckily, she shrinks when she shifts into a human form, so she's able to "appear" to be a great white shark. But if a marine biologist was to look at her, they'd know instantly that she does not have the same body as a great white.

And above is Meg's original origin. I don't know if I'm going to keep this splash of sci-fi in the story or make Meg's origins more fantasy based.

Blood in the Water- Shelved story idea

Here's a story that I randomly pick off the shelf now and again. Blood in the Water (working title) is a romantic fantasy that focuses on a shape-shifting shark mermaid and a buff tourist vacationing in Hawaii, that may not be exactly human.

 These sketches were super fast but I did do a little cleaning up. Oh, and I made the text legible. Here are some random scenes from the story:

She also forgets to mention, she's a massive flirt, even in "primal shark" mode.

Sometime later

And after they get to know each other...

The mermaid was a character I made long ago. But this actual stories was more of an experiment to write an, ahem, "adult romance" story.

Turns out I don't like writing romance. Especially adult romance. It's not me being squeamish, cause I can draw said scenes. I just don't have interest in it. So Blood in the Water won't get written anytime soon (I mean, the characters are current "Mermaid" and "Buff Girl"). But drawing this mermaid is too much fun. so she will be back.

Shark Week Aint Over till I Say It's Over

(site update at very bottom)

I'll be honest with you guys. I fucking love sharks. And it just so happens that in June (you know, the month before Mermaid May and July Shark week) I was drawing some lovely shark mermaids... uh, shark-maids? Whatever. So enjoy. These gals were originally going to be part of my art walk series, so you'll be seeing more them them soon (except for the rest of this week cause I'm going camping. Full update at the bottom)

Some of the designs have changed since then, but you'll have to wait for next week for those!

Happy Shark Week!

Hi guys! I'm back! Remember how i said I needed a few days off and it turned out to be a month?! Boy, wasn't that swell?

Okay serious update, my depression has been spiking up and down like a roller coaster. But things seem to be... somewhat stable? At the moment?

So I'm going to start posting stuff. How often, I have no idea. I work at a party store and Halloween is the most insane time of the year. But here's my plan at the moment.

Slug At Work-- There's about 8 or so pages left in the first chapter. So hopefully I can get all of those done before the one year anniversary in October?

Reviews- Since I've been watching so many shark week videos, I'm going to do a v-log type review about the shows and what was the coolest stuff. After that, I have 2 Moana theory videos I want to put out.

Games-really want to get my footage of Night In the Woods up because I just had so much fun with that game. I'm thinking because I don't post letsplays often, I'm going to keep going with the large chunks of videos instead of 20 minute long segments.

However, since we are now in August, my "Year of Blackwell" plan has taken a nose dive. So instead of a year of Blackwell games, I'm just going to keep playing at my own pace, and maybe a couple other Wadjet Eye games, with the goal of putting out those letsplays before their next game, Unavowed, comes out (any Wadjet Eye game that takes place in New York tends to be a connected universe and I have theories about Unavowed that i currently can't share without spoiling Blackwell)

Everything else, from a patreon to livestreams, those, well, I'm flying by the seat of my pants, people. No solid plans for anything else right now.

So I'll see you guys next week after my camping trip.

Great White Flight

I know I said I was going to post some WIPs, but instead you get a finished piece, one of many future ones to come. I'll wait a little longer to tell you guys what my secret project is. Though i will post some sketches on thursday. But enjoy what is, well, the first acrylic painting I've done in YEARS. Feels good!
