AER Cameo: Sea Shepherd for @ammonite
I swear I did not forget about the crowd cameos I still have (there's now two left on my list), I've been waiting for @ammonite to get back to me as I tend to do them in the order I get them and then I realised a lot of time had passed x_x
So I decided that he was going to be a Selkie sea shepherd of some description (he's working with some dolphins here, I guess they herd fish or something, so I guess he'd technically be a fisherd?). The four tentacles on his head are prehensile and I should have probably set them slightly further back and made them a bit thicker, might do that in the 3d model. When out of the water and not otherwise in use they curl into the ammonite spiral resting against his back. Being a slightly deeper water mer than Forest Fish (who seems to live in a river in a forest or mangrove or something to that effect), the Sea Shepherd would probably keep the wetsuit on during extended periods out of the water to keep his skin from drying out and to regulate body temperature. Like most mers he'd probably just gad about naked (at least in their temperature ranges) otherwise.
I also decided to ignore the art brain telling me to use the 4b pencil brush because I really wanted to use the sketchy brushes that are in my sketchy tag. After naffing around with what is probably the sketch shade brush I remembered using before but couldn't find again, and struggling with it for about half an hour, I was once more reminded the hard way that things actually work if I do what the art brain says.
Normally I have a "next day" cooldown period for art which means I should really be posting this tomorrow but I also have a strong aversion to posting more than once a day and I've already missed one progblog and don't want to miss another one or try to replace it with something else like I have done previously, so that's tomorrow's post, so this one is kind of getting rushed out x_x
This post also appears on my blog.

it's ticked over midnight here so when I post the progblog it will make multiple posts on one day but it doesn't count if I sleep in between posting right >_>
Want a crowd character? If you interact frequently with me here (either on my posts or your posts or better yet both!) or on one of the linked Discord channels, all you have to do is let me know and tell me what you'd like :) Everything you need to know is (probably) here and if it isn't just ask (sorry the link goes offsite to my blog where the layout is how I want rather than the one here which is only here because the original one was).
Thanks for looking! ^_^
Come hang out on Discord with us!

THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST :O
I'm going to have to look up why it was the number of the beast, I'm pretty sure I knew this at one stage but my brain dislikes numbers XD
That's a very lightsabre looking underline XD
Lol. I wanted a straight line and a glowing one at that and thought, I know, lightsabre it!!! I used to know why it was but I can't remember either
I need more sleep, forgot the precious engage tokens!

ENGAGEtokens.Oh Wow, oh Wow, oh Wow. I love it. Can't wait to see the hair coiled up behind his back.
I am sorry but I don't understand how all this actually works. Should I give you some critique on the actual design? Colour scheme? Can I send you some Hive as a thank you?
If the answers to these are yes ( I read over your link) then I think you are correct about the hair placement. It may need to be higher at the start to allow for a nice curve to the coil upped hair.. You may find that the ears also need tweaking to work in harmony.
I think as far as colours go, Earthy is my preferred palette.
Yay it's always a relief to get that kind of reaction XD
For cameos if you're happy with what I come up with that's great, if you'd like tweaks done then you can just let me know and I'll tweak it :)
when is a matter of what else I'm doing, if there's not much going on it can be pretty quick (especially if I'm feeling particularly inspired), if there's a lot going on it could be a while, I do prioritise it if bribed XD
Do you have a specific colour palette/pattern in mind?
The ears are kind of fins/feeler type things to detect water movements as much as sound through water (I vaguely copied a mantis shrimp), can make them a bit more fin or feathery like or go no external ears if you prefer?
Only if you really want to, you're a regular interactor so all you have to do is ask :) (and then wait patiently XD)
