May’s THEME:

Water Sci-fi & Fantasy

May in the social media art world is notorious for being #MerMay but did you know there are SO MANY OTHER fantasy and science fiction water based creatures and contraptions? Here is a fun list of examples and suggestions to get your inspiration going. I hope that folks will try to include things other then just mermaids so that we can have a wide variety of cards!

Some examples of fantasy and sci-fi type things related to any body of water: selkies, kelpies, kappa, swamp witch/hag, frog/bog monsters, water fae, water elementals, undines, kraken, grindylow, naiad, sea serpents, nessie, mermaid, hydra, murloks, naga, bukanawa, gashadokuro, gasha, mash any water or sea creature with a human, mash any animal to a sea creature, try searching any folklore for water creatures and monsters and there are lots!

Water means ANY body of water, rivers, lakes, ponds, sea and it can be above or below the water! Such as underwater cities, underwater scifi exploration vehicles, anything steampunk or robotic on or above the water, fantasy or scifi adventures ON or below the water.  Please have fun and be creative. Remember I try to swap based on effort, detail AND composition. So if you send all portrait head shots that is what you will get back.
