#FishDontCry
There's a fish following the ship, mysterious, deformed. And maybe there's a vampire on board. And werewolves.
And a missing guy.
This and much more in the new chapter of #FishDontCry. Don't miss it!

Illustration of a human skull, but with some extra cartilage plates on the cheeks, next to a drawing of the face of a bearded man, Sangreal. This is a diagram explaining the vestigial remains of his pistrix skull after his transformation into a human.
Sangreal's cheeks are very well defined, and can even make a slight clicking sound when gently tapped. The somewhat abnormal shape of these cheeks, with an extra layer of cartilage, is hidden by his thick beard.

Illustration of three baby abyssal merfolk, held by their mother, whose eyes are barely visible against the dark background.
Little bioluminescent creatures, their skin so thin one can see the rosiness of blood under, and behind them a huge, monstrous creature, her skin pitch black as if she was part of the abyss itself... it's their mama!
Mama's little lures β¨

Seraphin LOVES getting his photos taken, especially if they're funny and silly!
Sangreal... not much. He's pretty self-conscious (especially if Seraphin is in the same room with him).

Digital chibi-style illustration of Sangreal, a man with red hair and a seemingly unkempt beard. He has wide blue eyes and is looking at a baguette. "Baguette" is written above his head. The background is transparent.
Sangreal has a strange relationship with bread, half fascination and half disgust.
This smooshed paste of seeds, leavened with the farts of microorganism who then get killed with heat... disgusting.
At the same time, the fragrance of bread is divine.
#DigitalArt #FishDontCry #Sangreal #FnMArt
Digital illustration, in black and white, of a primitive pistrix (a sort of sea serpent, looking a lot like an oarfish, but with arms), and a sort of diamon shape in the middle of the page.Around the pistrix there are the words: "For the ancient power of the pistrix sygil, your course is now broken".And inside the diamond: "Have a nice life!".
For the ancient power of the pistrix, I break your curse.
I charged this art with intention, and with the symbols that give me joy. Now breathe, unclench your jaw, let your shoulders drop.
You are free now.

Gasp! Who's this little guy?
#FishDontCry
Black and white ballpoint pen illustration of a bearded pistrix (a kind of merfolk) holding and showing the camera a Labubu puppet.
In the distant future, Labubu will also be found at the bottom of the sea. And that's where they'll be collected by unlikely deep-sea creatures!
Illustration for the mini-fic Deep-sea Labubu (that we wrote for the @perfworldweek.bsky.social) featuring Sanny-boi.
#FishDontCry #Labubu
Black and white ballpoint pen illustration of a woman with octopus tentacles so large they take up the entire floor and are out of frame, bending over to place a shirt over the shoulders of a naked man kneeling on the ground. At the top is a caption that reads: Chapter 1_ The witch who made me human.
Are you bored of your gray life, everyday, every hour, every second? Have you tried asking gently to a powerful sea warlock to transform you into a completely different animal? Oh, sweet little boy, I can give you legs, I can give you the land.

comic page for the webcomic "Fish don't Cry," featuring Sangreal, a pistrix (a merfolk-like being with a humanoid upper body and an oarfish-like lower body, elongated and somewhat compressed laterally), and his grandmother, also a pistrix, whose face, however, is shrouded in darkness, and only her bright, round eyes and, occasionally, her mouth are visible.
Now shut up and listen.

Today is monday! You know what this means?
Finally we can show y'all the cover of the first chapter (after the prologue) of #FishDontCry!
YAY!
(But first, a pokΓ©mon fanart... we had to draw the new starters, hehe...)
Pass it along, let's see your pfp in its full sized glory!
It's the first sketch we did of Sangreal... back then, it had to be just a merfolk version of Lysandre (from pokΓ©mon XY), then #FishDontCry happened XD
Fifth comic page for the webcomic "Fish Don't Cry," featuring Sangreal, a pistrix (a merfolk-like being with a humanoid upper body and an oarfish-like lower body, elongated and somewhat compressed laterally), and his grandmother, also a pistrix, whose face, however, is shrouded in darkness, leaving only her bright, round eyes and, occasionally, her mouth visible. Sangreal says, with an anguished expression, "So I can't have friends!" "Wait, this is not what I wanted to..." He gestures to his grandmother, raising his hands from the darkness. Sangreal interrupts her: "I am already so alone, Grandma, there's no fish that likes me! If I can't trust humans, I... I... I don't care! They can kill me, I'm useless, they can use me! If they can ever find a use."
7th comic page for the webcomic "Fish don't Cry," featuring Sangreal, a pistrix (a merfolk-like being with a humanoid upper body and an oarfish-like lower body, elongated and somewhat compressed laterally), and his grandmother, also a pistrix, whose face, however, is shrouded in darkness, and only her bright, round eyes and, occasionally, her mouth are visible.

Will she listen?

Are we actually writing a... romantasy?
No. No, it can't be... unless...no.
Yes.
No.
It's a romantasy?
#FishDontCry #Writing #OdysSea
Pencil sketch. A woman whose lower body is composed of octopus-like tentacles bends over to place a shirt over the shoulders of a naked, bearded man sitting on the ground.
When you're a deep sea fish, but an half-octopus creature transformed you into a human.
Work in progress for the cover of chapter 1 of the Comic version of FISH DON'T CRY.

Hey hey hey! It's monday, this means... a new episode of the Fish Don't Cry episode is out!
#FishDontCry #Comic #Merfolk
Traditional illustration, done in ballpoint pen and colored pencil, of the head of a pistrix (a semi-humanoid fish), along with a tube-eye (Stylephorus chordatus). The pistrix says, in French, "Comportez-vous bien, monsier Ammoniaque."
"Monsieur" Ammonia is a very special pet: a deepsea fish for a deepsea owner! He's a very lively Stylephorus and lovely oddball, and he's totally trying to steal the spotlight from the rest of the story in Fish Don't Cry. Behave yourself, Monsieur!
#TraditionalArt #FishDontCry #TubeEyeFish #Fish
Chibi-style illustration showing two small scenes, featuring a red-haired, bearded man and a gray-eyed, dark-haired man. In the first "scene," the dark-haired man is relaxed, almost lying down, and the red-haired man can smell the scent of flowers (symbolized by small flowers hanging above his head). In the second "scene," the dark-haired man is sniffing the other's beard and can smell the sea.
Flower meadows and ocean breeze. Scented candle men.
For the @perfworldweek.bsky.social prompt "Scent", with our boys from the Mer!Lysandre AU! One of the many subtle ways you could tell these two come from different worlds (aka Lysandre is a fish).
#PerfectWorldShipping #Chibi #FishDontCry
Traditional illustration, done in ballpoint pen and pencil, of a dark-haired human child placing a shell necklace in the water. In the water, a young pistrix (a type of merfolk, but with characteristics similar to those of an oarfish) examines the same necklace the child placed in the water.
Lil' Augustine wants to be friends with a mermaid. Will throwing random objects in the water will be enough?
Illustration to accompany a little fic), both created for @perfworldweek.bsky.social!
Theme: Family/Childhood.

First comic page for the webcomic "Fish Don't Cry," featuring Sangreal, a pistrix (a merfolk-like being with a humanoid upper body and an oarfish-like lower body, elongated and somewhat compressed laterally), and his grandmother, also a pistrix, whose face, however, is shrouded in darkness, and only her bright, round eyes and, sometimes, her mouth are visible. Sangreal says: "Hi, grandma, I encountered a human!" She replies: "Where did you put the body?" Sangreal: "He was alive. We talked." Sangreal again: "Technically, I encountered many human beings, not just one. I don't know why I told you only about Seraphin, because I also talked to his sisters..."
Second comic page for the webcomic "Fish don't Cry," featuring Sangreal, a pistrix (a merfolk-like being with a humanoid upper body and an oarfish-like lower body, elongated and somewhat compressed laterally), and his grandmother, also a pistrix, whose face, however, is shrouded in darkness, and only her bright round eyes and, sometimes, her mouth are visible. The grandmother asks, "Who is Seraphin?" And Sangreal replies, "Oh, Seraphin is this marine biologist. He studies fish that inhabit the depths, like oarfish and tubefish and..." "What is a marine biologist?" asks the grandmother. "Oh, a marine biologist is a human who gets paid to study creatures that live in the water, like fish and octopi and corals and shrimps and whales and mussels and me!"
Third comic page for the webcomic "Fish Don't Cry," featuring Sangreal, a pistrix (a merfolk-like being with a humanoid upper body and an oarfish-like lower body, elongated and somewhat compressed laterally), and his grandmother, also a pistrix, whose face, however, is shrouded in darkness, leaving only her bright, round eyes and, sometimes, her mouth visible. "You?" asks the grandmother. "Why is someone studying YOU?" "Well, grandma, it's because he thinks I'm very interesting, perhaps?" asks Sangreal, cheerfully, a smile on his face, his hands held low and fingers intertwined. "What part of YOU is interesting to him, exactly?" asks the grandmother, menacingly. "Aren't you scared, my child?" "Scared?" asks Sangreal. The grandmother replies: "He will kill you." Sad, Sangreal explains: "No, grandma, he's a protector..."
Fourth comic page for the webcomic "Fish Don't Cry," featuring Sangreal, a pistrix (a merfolk-like being with a humanoid upper body and an oarfish-like lower body, elongated and somewhat compressed laterally), and his grandmother, also a pistrix, whose face, however, is shrouded in darkness, leaving only her bright, round eyes and, occasionally, her mouth visible. "Human beings are like merfolk, with a tail instead of legs," says the grandmother. "They disrespect mother ocean with their own existence. Merfolk descend from humans: if you cut them at the waist, they're nearly identical. You are a FISH, they can't be your friends." "Wh-what?" asks Sangreal, heartbroken.
Grandma is always dramatic about human beings (she never saw one and was never hurt by a human, by the way).
#TraditionalArt #ComicPage #FishDontCry #Merfolk #Pistrix
Ballpoint pen illustration of a pistrix, a creature with a humanoid torso and the tail of an oarfish, in the center of the page, surrounded by various characters: behind him someone very large, of whom only the round eyes and hands are visible, to his left a human in a diving suit and to his right a person whose inner body has no legs, but a tangle of octopus tentacles. Up in the illustration there's the text "FISH DON'T CRY".
Cover for the #FishDontCry comic series, the one that we'll be sketching in ballpoint pen.
It's... a challenge.
But it can be interesting to read, for y'all! It's 100% experimental, and it will have some weird stuff in it.
