[left: two dark blue trees frame the image, with ferns and brown mushrooms silhouetted along the bottom. a bright pink and yellow forest is visible through the trees. from the left, a school of sky blue and yellow fish swim out of the shadows into the distance. three small ghost blobs watch from the forest floor. right: a dark green tree curves out from the right side of the image, its base overgrown with yellow oyster mushrooms. a school of pink and yellow minnows swim around the tree, moving from right to left. three small ghost blobs watch from the base of the tree and a nearby rock.]
Warm-up for Inktober 2016!

Finally did something for Mermay!
A friend on Discord suggested a mermaid swimming through a galaxy of sea stars and I loved the idea so much I had to draw it ⭐ ✨
