I wanted to show off a couple of my CAS creations for merfolk. There are more CAS creations I want to share, but for now, I want to share representations of my stories Reef Merfolk, the benevolent variant, alongside a representation of my Deep-Sea Merfolk, the Malevolent Variant.
The Reef Merfolk
Uses CC from Spinning Plumbob, These merfolk have extremely simple designs and use the lease amount of accessories and apparel. In relation to Merfolk lore and mythology, they are your typical handsome/beautiful merfolk that are most likely to help humans. In my story, they are the merfolk that are most likely encountered in shallower waters and prefer to live near reefs. Humans blame them for the harm caused by Deep Sea Merfolk because they are the merfolk humans are more likely to encounter. It would be incredibly unusual for any Reef Merfolk to actively try to harm humans.
The Deep-Sea Merfolk
Uses CC from Spinning Plumbob and Serinion. These merfolk have more fish-like qualities, fins along their back and arms, sharp teeth, and webbed hands with claws. When they get older, their eyes have a glow to them and scales form along their face. These are the merfolk that actively harm humans, but are rarely seen by humans because they spend a lot of time in the dark depths of the sea and underwater caves. They often disappear into the depths before humans notice them. Consequently, Reef Merfolk near the surface take the blame for the harm they cause humans.
Bonus: Merfolk from Disney's Atlantica
A random mermaid I created, Prince Eric as a merman, Gabriella and Urchin from the TV Series, and Stevie from Ariel's Beginning. I wanted to focus on merfolk that are more unknown. Some examples of inspiration were: a "what if" scenario, a Disney Merman that appears as a side character, and the merboy that disappears from Ariel's story outside of the tv series. Gabriella was also a side character from the TV series that disappeared from Ariel's Story as well. Since Ariel and many of the mermaids from the Little Mermaid tend to be more well known and get more screen time in the movies and tv show, I excluded them.
