Challenge 195: Mermay 2025 - Sea Life & Seascapes

[luminousdaze]

Challenge 195
The new theme is...
MerMay 2025 - Sea Life & Seascapes
🧜🏽‍♀️ 🌺🐳 ✨ 🧜‍♂️



This is a last day of Mer May inspired challenge! We can create icons that show mermaids/merfolk, real sea creatures and/or ocean scenery views (beaches, shores, waves, islands with seascapes and so on). If you are not using a screen cap or picture that has a scene of a merperson, ocean scenery, seashore, beaches, or sea creatures, then adding stock images, brushes, decorations or fake backgrounds showing sea life or seascapes to any fandom or character icon is allowed.
Let me know if you would like me to supply some screen captures or more icon examples.
The previous Mermay challenge post has links to a few "mer" movie galleries.
