Description
Finally finished! This is my half of a trade with ~NightmareHound . It was supposed to be a quick trade but I... kinda went a little bit overboard. Just by a little bit. Haha
Anyway, ~NightmareHound let me choose one of her characters and I chose to paint a Drowed merperson . I normally paint happy-go-lucky stuff, so I thought a water zombie would be a pretty awesome change from that. See guys, I can paint scary stuff too.
I changed the design around a bit because it's more of a species (?) than a single character. The fish is based off of a largemouth bass (or some kind of bass, I might have messed it up a bit) while the guy is based off of, uh, a guy. Yep.
I hope you like it, ~NightmareHound !

It looks like the fish tried to eat a zombie then died because it bit off more than it could chew (literally) and then became a zombefied part of the guy.

I'm not sure if he died before or after being bitten by the fish. You'd have to ask ~NightmareHound about that.
