Description

(The Distortionist)

I unfortunately had to turn The Distortionist into a fish because it's MerMay (oh no)

(also for a little bit of story about this image, while deciding on what kind of sea creature to turn Christopher into, I originally thought of turning him in a shark (that's where the idea of the bottom left image came from), but nah I didn't fit for some reason. I had also considered turning him into a cephalopod (like a cuttlefish or an octopus) but nahh that felt too stereotypical even if cephalopods tend to be crafty and deceptive characters (although I did end up letting him keep the extra arms on his back). I end up settling on basing his lower half on a cetacean, specifically a long-finned pilot whale (Globicephala melas) since cetaceans are also known for being very smart sea creatures and also the smooth, dark flesh of pilot whales just fit with the Distortionist for whatever reason.)
