Merman - Blog Posts
Merman time ^v^
I decided to redesign a VERY old oc of mine. He used to be fully human but I decided to make em a merman :)
He is fully blind on his right, with the scars to match. I'll draw his human form and full body reference soon!
(Hopefully 👁👁)
Here’s a merperson oc, his name is Bait and he’s a shark that I can’t find the name of that I saw at an aquarium
Oop messed up on his fingers
Did a mermay post!!
Pose reference by @jookpubstock
MagaloDAD - one of his forms he is just a massive siren. That's all.
Mailo's dad to be exact. His dad and a bunch of his baby siblings. All of then are normal size.
-Bonus-
He's blue! I couldn't choose which one is better.
A Nathan, for @running-in-blind‘s oc Mermay needs. This is their character, I simply drew him as a request. Its taken a while but I did it. 7th May 2020
The hair took forever and I should have been sleeping instead of doing this, but anyway! The second merfolk suggestion is done!
One (of potentially a few) Merfolk, based off of this post. I spent a fair bit of time on this, for no other reason than it felt good to.
A merman, designed off of the Kuhli Loach fish. Finished on the 27th October, 2019
Revengeful merman for Halloween
Happy Halloween!
When Jean learnt that Miles can switch between merman form and human form, his mind drew him the hottest dream he's ever had before
The slave merman and his navy officer saviour. First meeting
P.s. It took me 19 hours total to make these two arts and it's the longest work I've done so far with single arts, I would appreciate a lot your attention! ❤️
Merman Miles design? More likely, than you can imagine. For merman/navy officer au. Though can say that it's the second time I ever draw a merperson (first was an art of cosplayer), so designing this boy absolutely on my own, hahaaa
Miles loves pocket watch and shinies, sings beautifully and will try to bite you with his sharp fangs if considers you are hostile 😊
And his little antennas bow down to skull and move almost like ears of cats depending on his emotions
Ahhhh I just wanted to try painting and ended up making a fishmen scene but I love it <3

That means so much to hear from you—thank you!!
I adore merpeople AUs too, and I'm thrilled you're enjoying this one! I can’t get enough of imagining Gi-hun with his striking red hair and a deep green tail—like the same shade as the Squid Game tracksuits, which feels so poetically fitting. And oh wow, I hadn’t thought of In-ho as a Prince Eric parallel until you mentioned it, but now I can’t unsee it and I’m obsessed. It fits him so well!
Poor Gi-hun, truly. In my headcanon, he’s the child of two merfolk himself but was abandoned young—left near the ocean floor to fend for himself, hunt, survive. So like you said, he knows nothing about raising a child, specially not one with a human parent, which is completely unheard of in mer society. I imagine Gi-hun was genuinely heartbroken to leave the baby with In-ho—he just didn’t know he had a choice. No one taught him otherwise.
Because the baby is half-mer, he can breathe underwater, but Gi-hun, being used to the way merchildren are, handles him with a kind of reckless affection that would horrify a human parent. Merbabies develop fast and are tough, so Gi-hun will just casually drop him in the water or even toss him in the air and bop him gently with his tail like a dolphin playing with a ball. The baby’s completely fine (maybe even giggles), because in mer culture, that’s considered normal caregiving—for the two whole days they do keep their kids 😅
Looking ahead, I love the idea of Gi-hun eventually finding a way to gain legs so he can be with his baby and his eventual husband-slash-co-parent-slash-accidental soulmate. And once he learns how to really care for a child, he takes to it like he was made for it. He adores that baby with his whole heart—and mourns, quietly, that he never knew love like that himself. But he’s so grateful to In-ho and Jun-ho for showing him that there’s another way.
Thank you again for letting me ramble—it means the world! I’m definitely going to keep building this story out. I’ve got so many ideas!
Also, just imagine Gi-hun doing this with zero context and In-ho having a minor heart attack.
I need someone to rant to about a potential story idea for In-ho x Gi-hun inspired by fanart on Pinterest, which I have included below, so I hope you do not mind. To begin, In-ho and Jun-ho live on an island and work as police officers but do a lot of fishing together in their spare time. One time while out, they witness another fisherman heartlessly throw a kitten in a sack into the water, and when they go to rescue it and plan on going after the fisherman, a massive green tail emerges from the sack with the kitten in it, and they think it is a big fish trying to eat it, so they net it and drag it in with the sack. Only to find it is what appears to be a merman with bright red hair who takes the kitten and resuscitates it and tries to keep it away from the brothers, thinking they were planning on harming it too.
This merman cannot speak but does understand human language, having watched them from afar for so long, so they communicate and eventually become friends. In-ho names the merman Gi-hun since his actual name is a series of unreplicable screeches. Well, In-ho, Jun-ho, and Gi-hun develop a deep friendship, though In-ho and Jun-ho only get to see GI-hun a couple of months of the year since he moves based on the seasons. Well, eventually Gi-hun and In-ho catch feelings for one another, and one thing leads to another, in a cave specifically, but Gi-hun has to leave for the winter afterward. But In-ho waits patiently for him to come back.
Gi-hun comes back months later with In-ho and Jun-ho waiting for him eagerly; only he has a basket he obviously scavenged from the water, and in it, a newborn baby with human legs and dark hair. Of course, In-ho, who had no idea mermen could carry, nearly faints into the water while Jun-ho loses his mind. “You fucked a merman???” When both finally calm down and turn back to the water, they find Gi-hun gone.
Turns out merpeople are absentee parents, so they mate with other merpeople or humans and then dump their offspring on them, thinking it is like a gift. Well, next time In-ho sees Gi-hun, he patiently explains how humans are expected to raise their children together and not just dump them on one another 😂😂😂 So they learn to co-parent their half human half merperson baby with Uncle Jun-ho.
Sorry for the rant but as soon as I saw the fanart below this whole story came to me. I obviously want to finish other things first but what do you think?
please never apologize for ranting at me!!! i love it 💞🙌
i love merman aus so much!!! 💖 i'm also loving that between the green tail and the red hair, gihun is looking exactly like ariel... plus his love interest is a dark-haired charming man with a four-letter name....
i absolutely love the story!! it has a lot of potential going forward since u can expand on the fact that gihun, due to merpeople being absentee parents, would have no idea how to raise a child. nor would he have any idea on how to raise a child with humans.
since the baby is half-merperson, im assuming it can breathe underwater but imagine inho and junho's shock when gihun grabs their tiny baby and just dunks it into the water 😭
also - totally get if u haven't thought that far end - but would gihun ever, little mermaid style, make a deal with a witch and get legs so that he can walk with inho, junho and their baby?
AND OMG I LOVE THAT GIHUN LOVES CATS IN EVERY UNIVERSE!!! HE SAID CAT PERSON 4 LIFE 😩🙏🤧
Oh, hello!
I am unsure if I'm done with this or not..... Hmmmmmmm
(On a side note, I don't really know how to work tumblr. Is anyone willing to give me pointers? I would be grateful.)
These wonderful mer-characters belong to my dear friend @gadzooksgalore / @toothpaste-dragon! 🎉🥳🎉 She has two wonderful mer story projects that you can follow along with! I especially love Kolver, he is such a cutie.
Second Mermay post! This time, here’s a Hua Cheng to go along with the Xie Lian from yesterday!
My first post for Mermay! There will be a matching Hua Cheng to go with this one soon :D
Mer Doodles!!
Got bored
Shark fish dude one of my friends named him toby
Everyone meet Griseo Lapis a new oc I made. He is merman species who evolved to had the pattern on their body’s to keep predators away. Ps! Could so people draw him in their style and tag me so I can see only if you want though.
Thinking about Merman!Bakugou
Merman!Bakugou who watches you move into the cottage near the dock he hangs out at and is fascinated by your 2 tails (legs) and how you stand on them and move without water.
Merman!Bakugou who retreats deep into the water when, 1 weeks after moving in you decide to take a swim in the ocean so close to your house.
Merman!bakugou Who is finally close enough to see you better and realises you have no scales, fins or gills.
Merman!bakugou who panics when you dive into the water because you have no gill’s and swims faster then he ever has before to lift you up to the surface and on to the dock.
Merman!Bakugou who shrill’s at you in his fishy language, scolding you for doing something so reckless and your just like 😨
Merman!Bakugou who is saddened immensely by you running into your house screaming but still waits for you at the dock every day reading, well trying to read the human books he found in ship wrecks to learn you language.
Merman!bakugou who swims in happy circles when you come out to the dock again and pops up out of the water and begins speaking to you with his very limited vocabulary.
“H-hello p-retty human”
Merman!bakugo who is just met with a wide eye stare and you spluttering “h-hello fish man”
Merman!bakugo who splashes you with his big tail “N-NOT F-F-FISH M-AN” he points to himself and yells “BAKUGO”
