Intimate Extra - May Illustration; MonoMero Mermaid AU (Patreon)

Funfact: Did you know that octopods have one special arm that functions as their reproductive organ? Also, to mate they stick it into their mate's ear...? head? ... XDDD lol? Reasearching octopus mating behaviors sure was wild I tell you.

And Mono's "special tentacle" is dangerously close to a certain Mermaid's ear.... 8D Uhm.. But don't worry, this is nothing those two will do XDDD We just found it amusing to allude to this fact in this illustration X///D

But this is the reason Mono felt sexually harassed in the first short comic. X///D Mero might have touched something he is not supposed to touch (yet).

Phew. This was some challenging illustration :D Defining Mero's frills and long flowy hair... not to mention the tentacles... All those long, curved lines aaaa @w@""But it's nice to see their merfolk versions in color for once!

At first I wanted it to have a more naughty attitude and draw more of their merfolk traits for practise, but Lolli then suggested a more sensual approach. Despite me questioning everything during the process I'm happy with how it turned out in the end. I love how vibrantly the colors pop! I hope you enjoy this (belated) Mermay Illustration ♥
