Hello again, Phantom fans! I told you the end of the last book wouldn't be goodbye, I just needed some time to muster more art to show off. I've been dabbling a lot in the Security Breach Show roleplay servers, so that's been spawning a fair bit of art. ^w^

First up, for the merMay AU I posted about in the final chapter of my last art book, an angler fish siren OC named Hypnions. Her whole premise is basically being an Ursula/Tamatoa rip-off. Using her magic power of hypnosis, she can force any mer to make a deal with her and give up their voice in exchange for a "blessing" from her, no matter what that may be. She likes to collect voices, which she stores in the form of slime within glass bottles like you'd find in LoZ.

When she first debuted, she was mainly created with the intention of harassing poor nice Eclipse, who was dubbed Harley within the roleplay so he wouldn't be confused with the normal Eclipse

Next up, the fact that I've been calling him Harley spawned this as a bit of a joke

Next up, the fact that I've been calling him Harley spawned this as a bit of a joke. It's just nice Eclipse wearing a fit like Harley Quinn. I originally intended to even color him with the alternating pinks and teals, but I couldn't make it work with his palette.

He's got on the "Daddy's Lil' Monster" shirt from Suicide Squad.

Back to merMay! I'm showing these in chronological order, so. I drew Toy Bonnie as a sea bunny, because I like them both! I didn't make him a mercreature, because I could really get my head around a merslug nor a mer creature with the upper half of an animal character plopped on. The canon mermaid designs of Chica are my only exception that I'm comfortable with.

The more vibrant his blue and red markings are, the healthier and more toxic he is! Because sea bunnies are toxic to eat, you know?

Made a custom emote for the private merMay server we started to get away with fish violence without upsetting the mods of the TSBS server! I just named it Feesh, and it's of course Harley presenting a hapless fish

Old art used as a base to make a design for Hot Topic owner! evil Eclipse. It wasn't necessary for me to make it, but I was majorly compelled to. The little I've written in that roleplay, this guy is a menace to society and a ruthless salesman.

Lastly, Inkdrop as a sea serpent! She kept her ears and hair because it's just a vital part of her design and she'd look weird otherwise

Lastly, Inkdrop as a sea serpent! She kept her ears and hair because it's just a vital part of her design and she'd look weird otherwise. I gave her chonky mitts and replaced her bells with magic orbs in the equivalent places, then translated her ink markings as best I could while keeping the design organic. She may look a little menacing, but rest assured she'd be just as big a dumbass as I always am. :3

I was inspired to make her a sea serpent sort of like how Rhea Snaketail is sometimes depicted as a Cactus Cobra in Slightly Damned and Chu's various artworks. Plus, I imagine that if she became a part of the roleplay, she'd be a sea creature with oracle magic, except she is very bad at interpreting her visions.
