Due to certain spoilery reasons, Tanner and Oren had to flee from the Mera city of Nortemps. They were aided by Farren, a rather grumpy octopus, and Eria, Oren's wife. Despite the rather negative outcome of their visit to Nortemps, Eria will always have a reassuring smile for her husband, even when saying goodbye.
Eria is an eastern blue devil fish, while Farren is an easern pacific red octopus. They're placed in the military based on the type of animal they are; certain species have certain skills. Eria is from the 5th school, Farren from the 1st school. He also has tattoos on both his arms, but it's covered up by his cape in this illustration.
Actually, way too much thought went into the practicality of mermaids and underwater warfare. Honestly I'd be happy never to think of it again. I'm really pleased with how Eria's tail came out, but it's hard to see details under the water. I'll talk more about Oren in a later post.

But it's so friggin' cool! I love the intricacies of your mermaids; it makes them far more interesting than the standard fare.
These illustrations keep getting more and more gorgeous! My fav of this one is how the dark transparency of the water is treated.
