Hi guys !
Here are some news of the Mermay Artbook !
The Artbook layout is OVER ! \0/ We ordered a print test, just to be sure of the quality of the printing and the product, the readability of the texts, etc
I received it a few days ago and here is the link to the unboxing I did, in which I open the parcel and discover the printed artbook !

Spoiler, colors are way more saturated in real than on my webcam video, but this will give you an idea of the final book !
I've also ordered an ISBN number that we'll add to the artbook before the last step : sending it to final printing.
WHICH MEANS : if you missed the campaign and you still want to order the artbook, it is still possible !

SIRENS is my very first artbook and I am really proud to present it to you today. It gathers all of the 31 illustrations that I created for Mermay 2020.

But what is Mermay, you may ask ! Well, it’s a challenge taking place every year in May during which we’re supposed to draw a mermaid each day, by following (or not) a prompts list. This challenge has been created by Tom Bancroft, a former Disney animator, creator of Mushu and co-writer of the animated feature Mulan. Hundreds of artists are taking part in this challenge each year.

This time, I wanted to set the bar high and challenge myself with character design and ideas. This year, I decided not to follow just ONE but THREE lists at the same time. I followed the official list, the @Miag673 as well as Pantonemermay list created by @Soniastegemann and @Vetvy ! This means 3 prompts that I had to respect for each illustration (two prompts words + one color)

I streamed every illustration on Twitch each day and here is the result !

This is my very first crowdfunding campaign and this is why I need your help as I now have the oppotunity to bring life to a project that I really care about and whose I really enjoy doing.

You’ll discover in this artbook all the different themes, atmospheres, genres, characters I created from all those - sometimes - weird combinations.
