Mer Grooming Sketches

Description

Behold! Images of Sovereign Mers grooming eachother or themselves. XD


Edit: Mer grooming is an important part of Sovereign Mer society. It strengthens bonds and helps keep eachother clean. Mers have a triangle of barbs on the center parts of their tongues that are similar to cat's. The rest of the tongue is like a human's but tougher. Mer's make sure that their scales are clean and their hair is free of debris. Up top we have examples of Alu and Yami cleaning the tough scales on their tails. In the center we have Sakura cleaning (A blushing) Captain's hair, nipping at little bits of kelp or something. (Claws can make it more complicated so mers often use their tongues and teeth to get at stuff in the hair.)
And on the bottom we have Mahad brushing out Mana's hair to fill in for another mer and Iris (haven't mentioned her in a while) cleaning a random little pup in the pod's Thresh. She's a Matron so it's her job to look after the moms and babs in the Thresh.
