hi hello hi hi heloo hi

hi!! im merlin :o)

06 ,,, they/it/more ,,, resident butchbear

im a student for marine biology and hope to one day be a scientific illustrator. i mainly made this site with my art in mind(though a lot of the time i wouldnt put my art up much LOL) but all i do is make moodboard shrines.. ill probably have a tab here dedicated to those actually itd be cool i think

in my art im usually inspired by old magazines/newspapers/comics, medieval illumination, jewish papercuts, and the work of tove jansson, louis wain, and q hayashida. Theres probably more so you'll see more or less show up depending how embarrassed i am at the amount i list

for my digital art i use krita, procreate pocket or flipaclip if im animating anything(probaly masochism), merlanderings are usually done with mspaint/jspaint, any "animations" with the boiler frames i may do are either made entirely by hand or with the program shakeart deluxe.
