I think this is the last of the mermays I haven’t posted here, and it’s one of my person

I think this is the last of the mermays I haven’t posted here, and it’s one of my personal favourites too. Not only because I love lampreys. 

I decided a long time ago that these are Lily’s fish, because they’re a bit “off”. Early in her design process, her concept was a something like a “creepy pasta hunter” focused on retro technology. It’s a rough description and I toned it down to eerie rather than batshit, but she’s designed to live in a world where some things just aren’t right and she can find them. 

Classic lamprey, I guess.
