“Come on, Keith, let’s go for a swim.”

In honor of MerMay, I did a Sheith.

And okay, I have some thinky thoughts about my mer-choices:

Keith: Is part Mako shark, one of the fastest creatures in the oceans.  Without a family pod/school/unit, he’s always felt out of place, even when he was admitted into the Ocean Garrison.  A lot of the other Mers are uncomfortable around him and his more intense personality.

Enter Shiro: Part Pilot Whale (GET IT?!) and the best explorer/fighter in the Garrison.  He  sees a lot of potential in the newcomer and decide to try and talk to him.  (He resolutely does not think about how beautiful this new Mer is…!)

This is all pre-Kerberos Mission (in which we’ll say Kerberos is a very dangerous, deep, and unexplored part of the ocean).  I had originally intended to draw Shiro with his new arm and scars but decided that can be for later. So I’ll just bask in the glow of frolicking mer-boys falling in love.
