Enji wasn't able to resist the call of Homerically accurate Hawks, after all 😌

I apologize to you all for taking so long to complete this. As I mentioned on Twitter, I'm so angry at myself for not finishing this mermay piece in time despite pulling so many late nights. I went from being so happy with it to becoming SO frustrated because nothing came out the way I wanted, and I kept on questioning every single choice I made. I think it's safe to assume I'm not cut out to draw comics whatsoever 😅 The only reason I didn't give up even tho I felt drained and disappointed in myself it's bc it's enho and by now you probably know how much I love this ship. Still, I hope the result is somewhat worth the wait, ahah! 🙈 Many thanks to y'all who stick with me even tho I'm slow af ⚰🫶

Aw Aira ♡ ♡ I know exactly how hard the pressure of imposter syndrome and creative blocks can weigh down a creative project. As others have said, Mermay is when you post in the spirit of things, not the exact 'date' like an assignment! Being 'slow' is absolutely fine. Masterpieces and art in general take whatever time they (and you, as their progenitor) need. I'm giving advice I, myself, don't follow (lol) -- but try to remember to give yourself compassion when you're struggling with things (life, creative/professional work, etc)! You've done an *amazing* job with this AU and this piece. It's absolutely gorgeous; the eroticism and anatomy (fantastic & human) are just... wow. Breathtaking. All the details.... GOD that last little pop-out panel at the bottom with Enji holding Hawks's ass while he guides Enji inside... !!!!! hghgfmfm I love that we can see the vague blur of the ship run aground in the background of the last panel. Enji kneeling on the rocky beach, totally lost in sex with Hawks--whatever former dedication he had to resistance utterly gone, totally committed to this tempting, terrific creature. It looks so intimate and dazed (Enji lost in that good good birdy sauce), and that claw-foot arch/grip on Enji's thigh!!!! I wanna eat this piece. I'm gonna dip it in delicious delicious hot sauce and cry happy tears over this whole AU. ♡ TYSM for your hard work!!

Awww Aira!! I hope you never feel pressured to please us. I totally get why you’d feel that way. I’m here for all the art you make and appreciate the time and love you put into your artwork! We understand that great art takes time and some months will be difficult than others. Big hugs to you ❤️

someone (i'm almost certain it was @/feypendragon, but can't find it to confirm) just very recently said that "Mermay is when you post it" - don't feel locked in by the calendar month, just post your mermay stuff when you want to! (and besides, two days late? pppft) It looks *wonderful* Aira... love the detail and all the work you've obviously put into this! 💖🔥 LOve Hawks talons, they make a gorgeous Siren, and Enji *is* Ulysses!

Truthfully, I want to make y'all happy too, and half of the reason I stressed myself out it's cause I wanted to finish this as a reward for last month. I don't want to make you wait so much for a single piece of content and produce so little art in general. You're already so patient and so kind as to support me already 😭
Loveisinthe AIRA
You're such a sweetheart vfghszdfc 🥺💗💞 I'll keep your kind words in mind while I wind down from this 🙈
Loveisinthe AIRA

Gods I’m so sorry to hear you struggled with this piece but it was WELL WORTH the wait on my end. I CANNOT stop staring at it. The details in Hawks’ jewelry (I love that so much of it is clearly salvaged from the sea!), the way Enji’s massive hands grip Hawks’ thighs (you’ve really managed to make it look /tangible/ with how his fingers dip into Hawks’ skin), the emotion that radiates off the page despite there being no dialogue or other cues (can never have enough of a man so desperate he breaks through his rope bindings)…this is such an INCREDIBLE work. Every panel is beautifully rendered, and your anatomy is FLAWLESS, despite the more extreme size difference (and the bird talons—which, by the way, are also /stunning/???) 🥺💕💖💕💖
