Description
Did someone say "MerMay" ?
Like, how can I possibly miss it when I swim in MerMay art from everywhere? So, of course I had to contribute!Β Behold, a merbot! Fighting an evil octopus in a lake somewhere. Or is the merbot the evil one? Attacking an innocent water-dweller in their own home? Neither or both?
Who would win? Are four arms better than eight, or does the number of limbs matter at all?I'm rooting for both! And oh boy, do I love painting stuff. If I had done this my usual way of sketching, then lineart, then colors... I'd still be at the lineart stage. Sure it took me the whole day about from start to finish, but I don't remember when I'd have finished a piece in one day that's such quality... wtf. Thank you peeps who were visiting the random streaming, hehe.
This is not a TF character. They're just a sentient robot!

Thanks!!!
I've drawn my whole life, so that means I've practiced more than I can comprehend! That means I've probably done hundreds of thousands of lines or strokes with my hand. When you've done as much as I have, I'm pretty sure you'll be as good, if not better, than I am now!

Thanks! I have to admit that most of they layout is just happy accidents. 
I also didn't realize how the tentacles would balance everything out on their own even when there's just four visible. There is this some sort of rule of "don't put anything right into the corners" but here I am. Didn't pay attention to the corners, or they were out of the working area, so the top tentacle feels very heavy, yet it works with the lower left that's very light. I noticed this at some point and like before, I just rolled with it. So yeah, HAPPY ACCIDENTS!
I'll try my best to do more of the misadventures of this dear merbot here. It's a painfully good opportunity to have some fun.
