This mornings warm up drawings.

After these two posts ( 1 and 2 ) I could only think that, where ever Logan got the whale and sea life sound clips from, like some marine biologist research data or something. It would probably be lots of calls that humans might not fully understand and collected over a number of years. So playing them to Virgil, all he hears is load of nonsense which just confuses him.

Muppen answered this to clarify that Virgil gets the basic meaning of some calls. Thanks, dude.

What size is he at now? Will he reach Muppen's Mer!Virgil's size?

Oh gosh no! Once I get the last drawing done you all will find out his final height. I can at least say it’s no where near 200+ feet. Though I do love Muppen’s AU!!!

#I love muppen's au #mermay pink virgil

HEYOO!!! Love your art and ocs btw. So may I ask if you can please make one shot where Gorm is saving someone from drowning? Ik this is weird but you gotta know that imma weirdo so..

I'm happy you like them! This was entertaining to draw. ;)

#ask #Anonymous #Muppen draws #oc Gorm #cw drowning #cw tentacles #How did they get so far out? #Dragged out by a riptide? Fell asleep on a unicorn floaty? Aliens? Who knows #At least they got their hat back. :) #And is no longer drowning but that was a minor event #A very short oneshot as I ease back into drawing #Thanks for the idea :3

[muppenthings]

Just an idea that wouldn't leave me alone.

I don't think Gorm gets along with other octomers.

Featuring the octomer from this because they were fun to draw. :,)

#Muppen draws #oc Gorm #cw tentacles #g/t #octomer #The human is fine. Just having a nap. xD #The teeth clacking is just a Very strong emphasis of No. #It's fun to think of ways to communicate without speech #... My octomers are just full on emojing with their bioluminescence

[muppenthings]

Aliens ✨️

I'm not certain why but that was my first thought when seeing the post asking for art ideas, I have no specific intention, just a one word prompt trying to give you entirely free ideas...I love your art so much

So I got an idea and ran with it.

These little ones are called "Space fairies". They get everything they need directly from solar energy, so they don't need to eat or breathe. I ended up developing them quite a bit but I'll not rant here. xD

#Ask #Anonymous #Muppen draws #g/t #Thank you for the prompt and the kind words! #I had so much fun with it #they just sprang to life. #o_o;; #They're like little insect plants. xD

[muppenthings]

I colored the linework from this.

I needed a break from my other projects. :3

Cetus, a freshwater mer with gigantism.

Age: young adult

World: Jordh

Timeperiod: Modern time, 2020's

Personality: Childish and willful. Very sensitive. If he's around people he likes he can be relaxed and amiable. He's tactile which can be an issue due to the size difference.

As a freshwater mer he's very sensitive to the mood and energy of others. If he's met with nervousness or frustration, he'll be stressed or agitated. He'll then engage in behaviour such as chewing on things, flicking his fins or tail, fidget with things. Or people if they're not calm and assertive with him. Which can be quite problematic.

Gigantism: Due to a genetic mutation, Cetus has a very special case of gigantism. He'd be growing indefinitely if not medicated monthly. There's a slightly more elaborate answer about it in this post.

Background: As a baby, his parents left him with humans as he was growing too big too fast due to his gigantism and they didn't know what else to do. At the time humans didn't know much about freshwater mers either as they are elusive (and dwindling in numbers). Initially it didn't go very well with the humans failing to properly handle the young mer. And the trial and errors with medications to stop the growth led to him feeling quite sick. It all led to a young Cetus escaping the humans for a while. He was later found and lured back into a bay where he's still kept. The humans that work with him have a better understanding of him now so it's easier for both parties.

Other notes

Communication: Due to his gigantism, the membranes in his syrinx (that produce sound) have thickened so much they can only produce a deep rumble, leaving him unable to speak mer or human language. There's still variation to his rumbles; ones that resemble thunder to ones so deep the human ear can't hear them (but oh can you feel them vibrate through your bones).

Senses: Cetus has low vision in both of his eyes so he often keeps the nictitating membrane (third eyelid) over them to focus on his other, much stronger senses. He also has electroreception which is very keen. It allows him to sense electric currents, meaning he can detect muscle contractions, like heartbeats, twitches etc. All this gives him an uncanny ability to now exactly where a person is and if they're calm or not. It doesn't help with inanimate objects however.

Scars: The scars along his sides and back are from motorboat propellers. Freshwater mer rubs their bodies against eachother as a sign of affection. Given his size, Cetus struggles to satisfy this instinct properly so he'll rub against the objects that "his" humans are on. If they're on a boat and the engines are running... welp.

Also freshwater mers live in pairs, which can be romantic or platonic. So Cetus is quite lonely, often staring out at the open sea.

Thousands of feet below the surface, a benthic rover discovers something quite large. Everyone is in for a startle.

And that's how they drew him back to the surface. xD

#Muppen draws #oc Gorm #octomer #g/t #I have a name for him now but Imma sit on it for a while #I shouldn't have spent so much time on this #but I did #confused octomer is confused and startled #it'll quickly turn to curiosity #I'm calling artistic liberty with how bentic rovers work #I couldn't find how their cameras work or what light they use #sooo it's a light bright enough to blind the poor mer. #He hasn't seen that bright light for 300 years ok. #the arm swatted the rover out of instinct. xDD #I love drawing eyes ;o; #my curse #cw teeth #cw eye #cw tentacle #barely there but yep

I had some mer ideas that I had to get out of my system.

Red handfish and honeycomb butterfly seaslug inspired plus random octomer. :>

Doodles with their sizes under the cut.

They go from extra small to extra large. :3

#Muppen draws #merfolk #cw tentacles #g/t #big and small mers so tag is valid xD #why is my brain like dis #the little slug may be small and cute but they're also full of toxins. xD

I know I changed Keiki's design a little while back. But it never felt quite right pattern wise. So I went back and made some changes. The palette is basically the same. He's the same happy lad. :3

#Muppen draws #oc Keiki #giant merman #g/t #for the lil boat sketch #I dunno what happened there #xD #Anyways #No shadows etc. because I wanted to get a feel for the design #I had to remove the gold freckles. I liked them visually on his face #But I couldn't get them to work elsewhere. #So I thought to scrap them. I've been playing with the idea for a year now. Just went through with it. xD #And don't get me started on the color blend of his torso and lower half #Kinda like the idea above; but it may get tweaked. Again. Who knows. xD #I really tried to give him a different pattern than spots but stripes didn't feel like him. #So another design with spots ppfpfpfpfppffpf

An event that took place in mid 1700's. Gorm was summoned by the islander's ship as usual, but things took an unexpected turn. After this he didn't return to the surface for hundreds of years. Never understanding why they acted like that.

#Muppen draws #oc Gorm #giant merfolk #g/t #cw blood #cw injury #cw knife #cw tentacles #It's finally done #If the quality drops at the final page; I just wanted to finish it. #And there's a particular panel I also just gave the middle finger to. xD #If I ever draw another ship this year...... #I have SO many things I want to tell you about this comic #but ... eh. #If there's any questions or anything is unclear ask me! #Gorm has absolutely no clue why they suddenly just got angry with him. #He really thought they were friends and then they just... slap him like that? Telling him to go away? Fine. #Away he went. He doesn't have concept of time passing either

Keiki, a naturally magically altered mer from the fantasy world Aurea.

Age: Born in the 1600's

Personality: Playful, kind, very social and affectionate. He's quite impulsive and doesn't always think things through. He tries his best and wants to be helpful but is prone to clumsiness. Easily distracted.

Sizeshifter: Being magically altered, he's got the ability to change his size. He always tries to stay as small as possible, but he often ends up regrowing in spurts if he's startled, sleeping etc. On the sheet is his smallest size possible, compared to a 6ft person.

Background: Both of his parents died after swimming through a magic underwater current, trying to escape a giant predator. The then newborn Keiki survived but was magically altered and grew to a gigantic size. He then swam around in a bay, taking fish from fishing boats and terrifying the locals as they thought he was a large non-sapient sea creature. A bounty was put on him.

A crew of renowned hunters responded to the plea for help. After successfully bringing the baby to the surface they realized that he was just that; a baby. The crew took him in, hoping to come across a pod of merfolk to pass him on to. They ended up raising him anyways.

Other notes:

Communication: A syrinx allows him to communicate above and below water (underwater the air is circulated beteen the lungs, no air escapes unless he wants to). He chirps, whistles and clicks like other merfolk on Aurea. He's not able to produce human speech but he tries to mimic certain sounds with mixed result. He's also very expressive and good at communicating with gestures.

Magically altered: Due to being magically altered, his own magic is prone to become unstable. It gets worse in cycles, if he doesn't actively stabilize it himself it'll worsen until the point he gets sick. At that point his body regulates the magic on it's own but it takes longer. He'll then be unable to use his sizeshifting ability and will be stuck at his actual size until his body is done stabilizing itself.

Diet: He eats a wide variety of sea creatures, sea greens, and fruits from Titanik (a continent where everything is large). He's also able to digest magic and it's the most important part of his diet as it gives him more energy compared to everything else. Keiki can live off of magic alone if needed, but he enjoys "solids" more.
