Day 29: #Barbie

Andy Warhol’s screen prints of Marylin Monroe are iconic to this day. I decided another classic icon – the 90’s #LittleMermaid Barbie of my childhood – deserved a similar treatment. I don’t have screen printing supplies, so I used #Krita instead. #DigitalArt for the win!

#mastoArt #MerMay #MerMay2023 #Mermaid

Digital art of Little Mermaid Barbie pictures in a 3x3 grid, colored fantastically in a fake screen print style, like Warhol's Marylin Monroe prints.

For #pnp #reasons I looked into unconventional #mermaid 🧜‍♀️ concepts. Yes! Somebody on the internet did the reverse anglerfish! <3 http://www.lauragosnell.com/reverse-mermaids

But this tumbler also gets me! https://mermaidsarecoolerthanyou.tumblr.com/

Attached are a few examples from both sources.

“She had a thing for those sailors, and they had a thing for her. Unfortunately, humans didn’t last long in her element.”

I’m very happy and a little proud that inbetween other projects, I finally managed to board with #Mermay!

Yesterday’s #Sailor theme was so inspiring that I’m already trying to find time for another….

My #mermay illustration will be a bit late this year - life is just not the same as during the pandemic anymore and I find myself having less and less time for art, so I miscalculated. That's fine for me, I will just accept that she will be a June mermaid this year 💙

I draw this character every year to track my progress, please have a look at all of them!

Crop of an unfinished drawing: there is some line-art of a mermaid reaching forward to the viewer and a skull floating above her hand. There are red and blue sketch lines to indicate fish and her fins
Mermaid reaching upwards where a skull is floating. Her fin and hair are wildly swirling up and down, and her hair is loosely wrapping itself around the skull. There's a big pile of bones on the ground and the image is framed with bone-like shapes.

Day 28 #Sailor

Even mermaids need submarines to explore the deepest parts of the ocean, where the atmospheric pressure is over 16,000 pounds per square inch. (For comparison, where you are right now is probably around 14 pounds per square inch.)

Day 27: #HalleBailey

Say what you want about Disney turning every animated movie into live action, but you have to admit that whoever looked at Halle Bailey & said “she looks like a mermaid with human legs” was 100% correct. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find a mermaid-y picture to use as reference- turns out that in almost every single picture of her she is in a perfect mermaid pose!

A long dark-haired mermaid deep in the ocean, relaxing on a rock, admiring a fish.

In honor of the new release of The Little #Mermaid, as well as the new Merfolk Netflix series (since I'm part of that community), and it being #Mermay, plus my birthday today, I decided to draw the #Mastodon mascot as #Ariel the Little #Merstodon. Hope y'all like! :mermaid1: :dabart:

She has red hair, an aqua-green tail, and a purple clamshell bra. There's a red starfish on the rock, and the sky is sunny and pale blue.

#FinlayFriday meets #MerMay part 2

Virgil Finlay cover painting for Fantastic Universe, July, 1957, which I guess is kinda-sorta illustrating August Derleth's Cthulhu Mythos story which was later changed to "The Seal of R'lyeh." I don't remember any mirror-obsessed mermaids from that but part of it does take place in the sea!

#VirgilFinlay #AugustDerleth #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #WeirdTales #CthulhuMythos #Mermaid #Illustration @fantasy

A blonde-haired mermaid seated on rocks by the shoreline checks herself out in the reflection of a window to a...spaceship? A submarine? Your guess is as good as mine. Behind her on the shore either an astronaut or a deep sea diver gasps for air or is already dead.

Day 26: #Jewel

“Julián Is a Mermaid” by Jessica Love is a wonderful picture book! This is my #DTIYS version of a daydream Julián has; a beautiful fish offering him a coral necklace

Coral jewelry has been found in archaeological sites dating back to the Stone Age. It is not made from living coral, but from the structure the coral polyps build to live on

#mastoArt #MerMay #MerMay2023 #Watercolor #Ink #Mermaid #PictureBook #KidLit #Bookstodon

Watercolor painting of Julián as a mermaid. His tail is long & pink with yellow fins. His long curly hair floats gracefully around him. He is looking up & smiling at a giant blue fish floating calmly nearby. The fish is covered in white dotted patterns & holding a coral necklace in its mouth. The waters behind them are a gentle blue & green.

On January 09, 1493, Christopher Columbus wrote in his journal that he had seen mermaids. He described them as having “a human appearance in the face”, though they were “not half as beautiful as they are painted” :blobfox0_0:

Historians are pretty sure this is the earliest known written description of manatees.

Virgos always get a raw deal in these zodiac paintings. Aries get a ram, Leo gets a Lion, Virgo gets to sit quietly doing nothing while being described as “patient” & “loyal.” You know what patience & loyalty get you? A fantastic garden! Bonus: gardener mermaids can just float tail up- no kneeling on the ground! Lucky!

Played games with layers & salt. Blue paint reacted to the salt more than the other colors?

Black and white illustration of a mermaid with two tails. She is drawn with her body in profile facing left and her head a bit turned towards us with a powerful and severe look in her face, her right hand is holding a black trident. She is thick and dark-skinned, and her head is shaved except for a long thin braid. She has triangular tattoos or marks on her face and arms, and her chest is bare, she is wearing big hoop earrings. The background is a red rectangle.

A jellyfish mermaid in pink and orange colors, with a blue background. The jellyfish part of the mermaid looks like a voluminous dress skirt with fine tentacles trailing from it. Her expression is peaceful and charming.

related, #mermaid is neat and easy to use, but wish it was more readable w/o needing to render it. can’t say I have any bright ideas, though

A selkie for #MerMay (the mermaid 🧜‍♀️ celebration month)!

This is a hard-carved and printed lino block print of a selkie shedding her skin, seated on rocks, surrounded by harbour seals.

In Celtic, Norse, Faroese and Icelandic mythology, selkies (also spelled silkies, sylkies, selchies) or selkie folk meaning 'seal folk' can change from seal to human form by shedding their skin.

Just built a real-time diagram showing the various TCP states of our www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com in-house traffic managers - in Grafana, using the Diagram plugin (Mermaid syntax).

Still needs some checks & polish but it's pretty cool to be able to see what state the connections to the fleet are in.

I'll add per-region & edge node breakdowns in time but this feels like a nice start. been meaning to do this for a while.

#Graphviz or #Mermaid #Diagrams for #systems #visualization with #ChatGPT - ask it to create "Mermaid diagram source" or "Graphviz source" for outlines of bullets, paragraphs, etc. GPT-4 works better than 3.5

Render diagrams with https://mermaid.live/ or https://dreampuf.github.io/GraphvizOnline/ - ymmv with complicated diagrams.

Here's someone using Neo4j instead: https://neo4j.com/developer-blog/chatgpt-4-knowledge-graph-from-video-transcripts/

Image shows an example system diagram created by GPT-4 in Graphviz format from human-created bullets describing a system:

This is a system diagram or a flowchart with 17 boxes connected by one-way arrows. The boxes are various shapes and colors, and are labeled with text. Some of the arrows are labeled. Based on the variety of boxes and the way they are interconnected, it is not a simple system, but rather, moderately complex. All of the text is generic lorem ipsum, so the diagram is reasonably attractive and tantalizing, but ultimately meaningless.

OK, so here is my #introduction !

I live in the most isolated capital city in the world, #Perth , and therefore on Whadjuk #noongar boodja. I pay my respects to the traditional custodians of the land, and their Elders - past, present, and emerging.

I am male (he/him), and married to the amazing artist @leece .

I have been a #Linux #Sysadmin for most of my professional life, and use Linux or derivatives exclusively at home.

For fun, I play #rpg games, and #boardgame . I also swim as a #mermaid (well, mer-dude), and ride a three-wheeled human-powered vehicle called a Me-Mover. I have a Hobie Outback pedal-powered kayak, which takes me back to my past as a Sea Scout on the Swan. I enjoy playing with #lego, #cooking, #preserving, and many, many other things.

I am #teetotal (and have been all my life) but love making mixed drinks, and have an extensive #zeroproof bar.

I am an amateur #photographer without any particular speciality, but I do particularly like taking shots of #birds (especially #raptors ), and other mer-folk. I also enjoy shooting #pinhole B&W, and play with in-camera #cyanotype (about which I have written extensively on my blog) . To round things out, I take quite a few #solargraph images.

For the past few years, I have been learning Nyoongar (primarily the Marribank Orthography).

Here is a shot of me taken by the amazing @leece on #Wadjemap .

Phew, it was a lot of tinkering, but my #flowchart|s for my #thesis came out really nice. Made with the #rstats library #DiagrammeR and #graphviz and rendered with #knitr, #bookdown and #latex via #rstudio .

The #mermaid integration is just broken for latex-based pdfs, which is sad because mermaid is just really nice with its easy syntax. graphviz has at least more power and is embeddable as a vector pdf file.

One of the most popular genres of reading during the 18th-19th centuries in #Japan was the #kibyōshi - a type of silly, illustrated novel that anyone could afford.

#Yokai and #folklore were a popular subject, and one book even tells of the illegitimate child of Urashima Taro and a fish. So naturally, she was born a #mermaid and called Uondo.

Her story predates Anderson's Little Mermaid by almost half a century!

A store display full of mermaid shaped bubble sword. The sword part is a pink cylinder coming from the mermaid’s head. It looks very strange. The sign on the display reads “Bubble Sword $24.99”.

Have some #mythical #SeaCreatures! 🧜‍♀️ All #digital art, done in #Medibang on the #iPadPro. (Sorry the #mermaid looks a bit wonky; I can't draw human faces to save my life.) 😬 The white #SeaStag was a logo concept for the Mermaid Lucia shop, done under my alt "Narmaid Designs" studio name.

#MastoArt #meryton #hippocampus #narwhal #narmaid

A winged sea-caribou with a blue fish tail in a rearing, "rampant" heraldic pose. There are blue markings on the white wingtips, icy blue antlers and hooves, and a spiky ridge of fins down the tail. The background is an oval with a pastel twilight sky, two glowing, crescent moon symbols, and stars.
A pure white sea-reindeer (or "SeaStag") in a rearing, "rampant" heraldic pose, with a dolphin tail, a blue harness, and the Christmas Star cradled inside the antlers. There's a large blue circle in the background.
An MLP-style unicorn hippocampus, that's part fjord horse and part narwhal, with a narwhal tusk for a horn, and a glowing, aquamarine teardrop pendant on a necklace. The body colors are shades of pale grey, with dappled spots on the tail, brown eyes, grey hooves, and a white mane with a black stripe. The background is a large blue circle, showing sunrays filtering down through the ocean.
A narwhal mermaid mom holds up her toddler merbaby to play with her in the night, and they are both laughing happily, as the baby touches her cheek. The mother's hair is long and flowing in the ocean current, and both of them have horns (narwhal tusks, but on their heads like unicorns), and dappled spots all over their bodies. The background shows the moonlight filtering down through the waves, and fades into darkness at the bottom.
