💗🧜‍♂️ Mermay Fan Spotlight: volkradugiart

I know we're already in June, but I wanted to highlight this really gorgeous fan art of Mer-Izzy by volkradugiart! I love the detail on the tail!

Digital drawing of a seahorse-inspired MerIzzy floating near the bottom of the ocean. He has a dark purple & gold seahorse tail, scarred seahorse-like fins, a golden unicorn horn that curves upwards, and chin-length black hair. He also wears a brace on his lower tail. With a serious expression, he looks down at a large magical bubble, inside which we can see the Revenge at full sail. The bubble floats between Izzy's hands, soft rays of light emanating from its center.

Description via Sailor's Ruin: Ed dressed as fisherman with black overalls, white and blue striped shirt and red beanie. He's in a rowboat and he's leaning over the water to remove a hook that got caught in merStede's earring. Stede doesn't look amused at all.

💗🧜‍♂️ Mermay Fan Spotlight, part 2: SimpleAnarchy

Something we don't get to see every day is Mer-Buttons and I have to say that I adore him so much!

The brilliant artist burnt-scone a.k.a. SimpleAnarchy has blessed us with Buttons in one of the few forms he can truly give the sea the love she deserves this Mermay!

#OFMDMerMay #SimpleAnarchy #OurFlagMeansDeath #OFMD #ButtonsOFMD #OFMDFanArt #OFMDArt #FanArt #MerMay

Digital drawing of MerButtons floating underwater with his arms raised and his hands folded behind his head. His expression is serious, and his piercing blue eyes look off into the distance. He has a full, light brown beard and long blond hair that floats in gentle waves to one side. His tail is a light teal, almost the same colour as the water, and its tip is bent upwards behind him, showing his forked tail fin.

💗🧜‍♂️ Mermay Fan Spotlight, part 1: RonanWhitehouse

I have a lot more OFMD Mermay art I'd love to highlight, so I'll probably still be posting the spotlights through June!

First up on tonight's Mermay spotlight is the very talented RonanWhitehouse! They've done lots of other artwork for Mermay as well, and you can check out their super cute art style on Instagram or Tumblr!

Digital illustration of a smiling MerStede holding a golden trident. He has big green eyes and his eyebrows are raised. His glittery gold & orange tail is curved upwards in a u shape, with a deeply forked tail fin. He also has fins on either side of his hips. Stede is drawn on a large blue circle on a white square background. The circle has a grainy texture with lighter blue wave shapes running through it. At the bottom right of the picture, the artist has signed the piece “RW 25”.

#OFMDMerMay #googoogojob #OurFlagMeansDeath #OFMD #MerMay #OFMDFanArt #OFMDArt #FanArt

Digital painting of MerStede sitting on a rock, which he shares with 3 fluffy little seagull chicks. Stede's eyes are closed as he blows bubbles out of a conch shell. The bubbles float towards a sailing ship in the background. Stede's orange tail sparkles in the sun, and it is bent at the 'knee' to place his pink & white tailfin behind him on the rock. White foam splashes up where the waves hit the rock, but the sea looks calm – light blue and teal, sparkling just like Stede's tail. The sky is a bright blue with fluffy white clouds.

Digital painting of kraken Ed sitting on the sea floor as MerStede emerges from behind some seagrass. Ed's purple tentacles clutch 2 glass bottles containing lovely letters, and he holds 1 more in his hands. With a besotted look on his face, he looks up at Stede, who smiles back at Ed and holds out a bouquet of seagrass flowers. Two of Ed's tentacles reach out for Stede's waist and tail.

Digital painting of Edward and MerStede. We see Ed from the chest up, lying on a branch of a peach tree that hangs low over the surface of a moonlit sea. Ed reaches down to hand a peach to Stede, who smiles up at Ed from where he floats in the water. Stede is submerged from the shoulders down, apart from his hand taking the peach from Ed, and we can see his tail fin peeking out behind him. Ed is naked or topless, and his hair falls loosely over his shoulders. His face is turned away from the viewer to look at Stede, so we cannot see his expression.

Image description via aloc.bsky.social: a messy drawing, picturing a dubious aesthetic of a shabby dark cabaret with smiling Fang and Izzy Hands (u can hardly tell it's him, but it supposed to be him) drinking his fourth drink in the foreground. A blurry dark spot in the center of this mess supposed to symbolize Edward Teach who is looking to the far back where u can see a heavy set woman with a weird face, lit and sparkling, wearing a mermaid tail (but this supposed to be Stede Bonnet in a golden mermaid dress) who is lifted up and supported in the air horizontally by some blurry unrecognizable blobs that supposed to be artists of the said cabaret.

"So remember how you wanted to try cooked fish? I took that grate-y thing we found in the wreck and put it over these heat vents and VOILA - cooking!"

"Ed, it's absolutely remarkable!"

"Yeah, I could be a chef."

"I would come to your restaurant..."

Digital illustration of Stede Bonnet and Ed Teach (as a merman). A reimagining of their meet cute, with Stede, gutstabbed, in his white outfit with a noose around his neck falling down through water and mermaid Ed with a dark purple tail reaching out to grab him. The background is bright blue and turquoise with a faint lighthouse shining light into the water. The pose is drawn from the end mission of the game tears of the kingdom.

Digital illustration of Ed Teach viewed from behind sitting and fishing on a dock, merman Stede is swimming up behind him, reaching onto the dock to steal a fish from his bucket. Ed sees his tailfin splash out of the water and is surprised.

Digital illustration of Ed and Stede as mermen swimming with a pod of whales, they are tiny in comparison as they say hello to a whale friend. Sunlight shines down through the water casting subtle rainbows.

Digital illustration of Ed Teach as a merman, sitting on a rock with shipwrecks in the background. He has a dark purple tail, gold tattoos, and glowing gold eyes. He is holding a pearl necklace in his hand and looking at it with a sad expression. Overall spooky vibes.
