sabs-is-angry:aeroknot:aeroknot:there are many young merfolk out there, so i felt the desire to create a badass elder for mermay :) she’s as much derived from as she is dedicated to the vuvalini of MMFR– i also sincerely hope she brings joy to my mutuals older than me who always delight and inspire me, and to all older women in fandom, really, who i continuously thought of while working on heri hope it’s obvious but just in case: she’s beluga / inuit. and yes, a name and backstory eventually developed! hahaoh y’all this is my first non-fanart piece to break 1k notes and i’m SO excited it’s enthusiasm for this design in particular! thank you; i’m so relieved and encouraged by the warm responses [image description: Digital art of an Inuit mermaid elder with a beluga tail with an ocean background. She has brown skin, her right arm is gone from elbow down, and there is a glowing white tattoo sleeve around her bicep. She has short white hair and more traditional tattoos (patterns comprised mostly of dots and lines similar to henna) on her forehead, cheeks, chin, fingers, and along the beluga tale especially the flipper. She is holding a long, cane/spear like object in her left hand, the end is off screen. End id] -- source link
