pomrania:Mermay 2022. XIX: the sun. The most involved part of this piece was the “research phase”. Or more precisely, figuring out what stuff LOOKED like, in a way I could use. Which… okay so there’s pictures of sunfish, and stygiomedusa has been rarely sighted but ON those rare occasions there’s been some good video, but if decent-quality video exists for Thalassobathia pelagica, it hasn’t been posted anywhere I could easily find it. Other than that, I’m pleased to see that my colouring on the jelly worked out quite nicely; this is what you get when you’ve drawn stuff in one particular way for some time and gotten a lot of practice in. The large fish at the top is, of course, a sunfish, because the idea amused me. I had the idea to use stygiomedusa for the “horse” position after seeing a video that mentioned certain fish living around them, and their oral arms (they don’t have tentacles) also resemble the banner in the base card.
