Day 16 of OCtober! Mermaid AU!

In addition to the mermaid AU, I wanted to share how drawing characters in different alternate universes can deepen your connection with them. For instance, transforming an OC into a mermaid involves thinking about how they would interact with an underwater environment — their personality, style, and abilities might change significantly. When I reimagine Lucy, I consider elements like how her form would flow beneath the water, what kind of tail she’d have, and how ocean themes influence her color palette and accessories. It’s fun to play with those visual and narrative details, creating a new side of her story. Also, this #OCtober challenge by Chalkyduster invites artists to experiment with their characters each day, sparking creativity and community engagement. It’s amazing to see how others interpret similar prompts, whether in sci-fi, gothic, or even casual styles. If you're into creating OCs, I recommend trying out prompts like these to expand your artistic skills and add layers to your characters. Plus, sharing your versions online with hashtags helps connect you to a supportive artist group making the creative process even more rewarding.
