For the first time in weeks I woke up with a scene in my head (after a day away from the keyboard, talking to my bestie about my stress, and checking in with my crit partners) so I got up to write... and realized I don't have a playlist for a mermaid book.
After I added some older #Mermay works on DeviantArt, I mentioned one #mermaid was based on my sister. So I had short conversation in comments and other user asked me, if I plan to draw myself or my sister as a mermaid. I thought it could be a good idea and started #drawing.
Initially I planned more stereotypical scene, treasures from a shipwreck etc. Later I thought ships nowadays would drop more modern artifacts, like electronics. So what about made this picture also a symbol of my current complicated relationship with modern tech, as an IT person with some knowledge but also kind of Luddite who actively avoid mainstream devices and services?
When I sometimes read or hear about newest drama in corporate software world, my most often first reaction is similar to this picture :blobcat_uwucry:
Mixture of surprise, shock and disgust...
The human child decided not to tease their fish-tailed pal, and instead talked about marbles and their mutual love of turtles and pizza.
Decades later, the human had to admit that the siren looked so happy atop the firetruck she was assigned to, screaming her lungs out as they raced towards a blaze.
#Mermay - demonic edition.
Because if hell is underground, it should be under oceans. And its gates would be in deepest place, guarded by creatures like this :blobCat_devil:
One of the advantages of joining the Fediverse is that I hear about art prompts that I (as a rather asocial type) would otherwise be entirely unaware of, often for things I haven't tried to draw before.
So anyway, apparently May is 'Mermay', where you draw mermaids? Sounds good to me! Let's draw a thing. Hopefully it's a good thing.
Because it's #MerMay and because I desperately need to add more to this (and/or get an illustration for it) - the #ArgentumInAqua mer!AU that lives in the back of my skull
El #perfume Lust de #Lush huele a "Así que te gusta el jazmín, pues toma dos tazas". Eso sí, es de los jazmines más auténticos que he probado. Y dura un día entero y el siguiente.
Y ahora que estamos en el #Mermay, os hablaré de uno de mis #perfumesindies favoritos para verano: #MermaidOfAtlantis, de #WildHybrid. Lleva algas marinas, pachulí, melisa, coco, ron, laurel, gengibre, cilantro y agua de mar.
Los #perfumes de Wild Hybrid tienen una proyección notable y duran hasta que te vuelvas a duchar.
Este perfume huele a una #sirena sobre una roca en altamar, deleitándose con la brisa marina y saboreando el azote de las olas mientras busca marineros que ahogar.
