Tears Of The Sea Mermaid Rimuru

Rimuru: I’m only transforming into this to save the Underwater Kingdom, okay? Don’t get the wrong idea! I am not having fun!
Art by Me
Since it’s Mermay and the Tears Of The Azure Sea Rimuru movie is on its way (my greatest obsession and ideal movie) I thought it would be fun to have a crack at designing what I feel like a Mermaid Rimuru would look like in the movie if he has a mermaid transformation. I have drawn Mermaid Rimuru’s in the past but I wanted to design one specifically taking his new movie outfit into consideration so that when he inevitably (hopefully) transforms into a mermaid in the film, AGAIN HOPEFULLY I can contrast and compare it between this one and the official design.
I do feel like it’ll be a missed opportunity if they don’t make him devour some kind of fish or creature to transform so hopefully they do.
