Thorne Doodle (sketch?) Sheet I Did Recently ^^ Totally Was For Art Practice And Wasn't Just To Draw

holding an oc closely.... if you had a fandom would people be insane about you....

My oc Ever, the living embodiment and manifestation of the living pocket realm, The Ever Expanse.

The Death Card

Using this in my senior portfolio so I added some notes abt the character's design <3

Finally get to share the character design I made for my illustration final! This is a witch based on/inspired by an inkcap mushroom ^^ it was a bit difficult deciding what direction I wanted to go in for them, but I'm really happy with how they turned out!

There's a second part to the final, which is a full illustration including the character ^^ I'll link it here in a bit!

Doodled some ocs ^^ some of whom I haven’t drawn in years 😭

Doodles of my oc Thorne! Wanted to try some makeup looks on her to see how it'd look ^^

Personally think they suit her quite well

Drawings of my oc Salem!!

Hope you don't mind me answering this over here rather than my fandom blog! Wanted to draw a mer!Thorne design in response ^^

To answer your question- my first thought was immediately that Thorne would be a shark mermaid! (and more specifically, a Great White Shark). Making her one of the ocean's notable hunters seemed fitting.

There's not a whole lot of species specific notes for the design itself to be made- her tail moves side to side like most non-mammal aquatic creatures, and is countershaded (not seen here but the dark coloring stretches across her back and starts fading just as it gets to her neck). I don't know if the gills should logically be on her neck instead, but I really, really love torso/chest gills. And ofc she got the teeth and a big ol dorsal fin on her back.

She still gets into a lot of fights and trouble as a mermaid, so her tail is covered in additional scars. How many of these are from humans/fellow mermaids and how many are from sea creatures? idk lol. I just know the sharp teeth definitely make her more of a menace.

But ye that's about it. Thanks a whole lot for the ask @rainbowprisimatic!! <3 It was super fun getting to draw Thorne as a mermaid lol.

My oc Thorne! She's a scary lady.
