Here's a reference sketch, made with black ballpoint pen, (with a size comparison) of three different species: - The deep-sea merfolk (Abyssugens hispida), with its 5-meter female and its 1.30-1.50-meter male - The pistrix (Apocapisces regalecus), pictured here with only the 7-meter-long female (the males are more or less the same length, they just tend to be thinner and less imposing, but also more ornate) - The common merfolk (Maregens vulgaris), where the males are larger, and the one pictured here is a full 2.5 meters long (but still quite small compared to the other two species).
Deep-sea merfolk rarely encounter other sapient species due to the depths at which they live: common merfolk live primarily in the epipelagic and mesopelagic zones, pistrix live in the bathypelagic zone, while deep-sea merfolk live in the abyssopelagic zone.

A page of ballpoint pen illustrations colored with pencil, featuring several scenes in which Seraphin Panorme (a human marine biologist) and Sangreal (a pistrix, who, with the help of a sea witch, has acquired human form) interact. Seraphin has dark hair with a long, wavy forelock, and Sangreal has a more "spiky" look, with his red hair and a sharply cut beard, but no mustache. Although both are tall, Sangreal is truly enormous. The scenes have a warm, cuddly feel. In one scene, Sangreal is in his natural form, a fish with an elongated body and bright red fins reminiscent of an oarfish (Regalecus glesne), and is giving Seraphin a little kiss on the cheek. One of the most recurring themes in the illustrations is that Seraphin is a caring person, who loves to cuddle and hug others, while Sangreal is completely unaccustomed to touching other people.
Once upon a future time, in a magical land (France) there will be a marine biologist and a fish person who feel very fondly for one another...
A collection of cuddly illustrations for the protagonists of Fish Don't Cry! We like them, and wow, they like each other too!

Black and white page of a comic, made with ballpoint pen. The protagonists are a pistrix (a sort of merfolk, with long body, like the one of an oarfish) and a female sea warlock (half human and half octopus, with long tentacles).

There's only one place you can eat ice cream: the dry land. Well, maybe the entirety of the dry land is not just "one place", but, you know, details...

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 ✨

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
