      This is exciting!! I definitely want to join in this year - I’ve been waiting for months! I love your word list - it’s way more inspirational than I found the OG prompt list.

        This looks like fun! Thanks for sharing. I've never heard of most of these fish so it'll be fun to just look them up and see what ideas they inspire.

            I might give a go at one or a few. I have a lot on my plate. I am interested in seeing yours for sure to help fuel mine, since I don’t really draw people.

                        MerMay goby.jpg Hey there, SVS team, here is my first Mermay sketch/WIP. I had the thought to combine the official prompt list with the fish list @andersoncarman provided... So, here is my socialite mermaid, living the extravagant life with her toy pet goby. Please critique before I send her to paint...

                                  It's really cool seeing everyone's different takes.

                                  I often use a primary prompt list and then use some extras because I find it adds interest to my creations for these contests.
                                  This time my primary prompt list was based on gemstones and secondary ones were based on foods, drinks and random paraphernalia. I also decided to put them all in bottles to add a cohesiveness.

                                  First one was: Amethyst, cupcake, ice cream and floral.

                                    @Dima-Eichhorn I really like how you are presenting these, it really adds a nice visual touch. I'm also looking forward to seeing where the story goes.

                                        @Laurasketches I love it! Especially the detail of the "leash" on her Goby, I cant wait to see it in color.
