Reverse Mermaid: Origins
Transcript:
A comic strip in four panels:
-
In the underwater cave of the Witch-moray eel, a little mermaid begs her:
Mermaid: Oh, dear witch, please give me legs so I can dance with the prince...
-
Close-up of the Witch-moray eel, holding out a bottle of potion:
Witch-moray eel: Alright... Drink this.
-
Without hesitation, the little mermaid grabs the potion and drinks it in one gulp.
Mermaid: Glug glug!
-
Wide shot in the cave, the little mermaid has transformed into a reversed mermaid: fish body and human legs! The witch holds out her hand to claim her payment.
Mermaid: Really?
Eel-witch: That'll be ten gold coins.

Cat knew the right kind of mermaid. "Oh Miranda!"
★petitmote@toot.aquilenet.fr
ça me rappelle Andy Bass, un chouette webtoon avec des sirènes inversées et des sirènes verticales :)
★davidrevoy
@petitmote "sirènes verticales" ? Ca m'intrigue; merci, j'irai voir! 😊
petitmote@toot.aquilenet.fr
c'est très mignon comme webtoon :) c'est sur le webtoon américain
★phaedral@beige.party
That punchline was in an episode of "The Night Gallery"! <3

That third frame would make a great tattoo
★davidrevoy
@cthululemon There is probably a bit of "Asterix drinking the potion" pose in this panel now I'm looking at it with fresher eyes.
2 ★A tatoo? Sounds like a fun one, probably also a good artwork for the label of any beverage. 😆
pantaRhei@freiburg.social
hm, maybe not any beverage, but a ”Cidre artisanal de Bretagne“ or ”Cidre artisanal de Normandie“ could be a good fit. 🤔😁

In the last panel, I think the bust of the tube-top wouldn't be filled, since the top of the person is no longer mammalian.
Also I am reminded of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mx2MfFMe9E

★davidrevoy
@BoydStephenSmithJr True, it was a challenge to put this clothes on her; I probably could stretch it even more; the top fish part of her new anatomy is probably thicker than her previous torso and rib cage. Thank you for the feedback!
★conchoid@mastodon.gamedev.place
becoming a human in a deep sea cave would be unwise though
★davidrevoy
@conchoid haha, 🤣 very true!

The witch looks very much like a Heartless from Kingdom Hearts. Was that intentional?
davidrevoy
@jonyoder It was not intentional; I have never played any game in the Kingdom Hearts franchise (and I regret it).
If you have any recommendations for the best game to start within this long series, let me know!
jonyoder@mstdn.social
I've only played 1 and 2. They're all pretty convoluted story-wise, but the first one is the least so. Enjoy them, but don't think about them too deeply 😏

:) obviously she was prompting it wrong. Reminds me Claude Code providing cost summary after a “successful” coding session.

msh@coales.co
this is like the "reverse centaur" @pluralistic talks about but underwater edition
ygor@floss.social
It's the plot of Centaurworld. Kind of. Ok, not really.
atomicbird@mastodon.social
@catsalad reminds me of the song “The Mermaid” by Great Big Sea https://youtu.be/npyOOsxoA8I
★guayabito@mastodon.cr
hilarious! 😂😂😂
★jargoggles@kolektiva.social
That witch knows more about the prince's fetishes than she's letting on.

★davidrevoy
@mhunt Beautiful! I started to read the series last month (mangas of this series here are all over the 'second hand' market, esp book 1,2,3) What a great inking technique!
mhunt@socel.net
hey Dave. There are several on eBay, some a bit expensive. Best.
★tesdraws@mastodon.art
At least she got legs. Be careful what you wish for. lol
