Merbear, Unicorn, Aquarium, Taxidermy, Python

Hey guys, so I've been spending most of my time working on the merbear and unicorn skull, but I also have some ideations of the aquarium with the glowing bugs, weird taxidermy sketches, and also the hanging python skin that swallowed kate's camera.  Let me know what you guys think :).

For the merbear I feel kinda undecided on whether to go with the polar bear or the panda.  The panda would be pretty interesting in my opinion.  If there are any suggestions on what kind of items should be stacked on the bear, feel free to comment on that.

Tried varying up the shapes of the gem stones on the horn, but feel that I can push them further.  The unicorn skull is being displayed on a stand made out of vertebrae bones.

When working on the thumbnails, I was looking up reference of antique aquariums which were often exposed at the top.  They resembled mini enclosed outdoor ponds in a way.

Playing around with plants and maybe some merbear decor...but I can leave them out if they aren't working. Feedback would be great on these ones.

These are old sketches from last week, but initially I thought it would be cool to have the glowing bugs as carnivorous giant isopods.

Some weird taxidermy sketches

For the python, I was trying to play around with how it would be hung as a light source.  For some of them, I thought it would be funny to have Kate's camera still in the python's body.  Any feedback would be great on these :)

This is all I have for now...but i'm definitely going to work on more.  Will try to make rendered paintings of the unicorn skull and the merbear once I have the design finalized.
