Originally I wanted a maelstrom in the middle, but it's odd how few close-up stocks there are of whirlpools/whirlwinds.... Any stock photographers up for the challenge? The bigger, the better. :giggle:

I've worked on and off on this for quite a while - I just never get happy. At some point I just decided to stop. *shrugs* :) I am aware that mermaids traditionally don't wear tops, but I really liked the stocks, so... perhaps they're in the North Sea. Not very sensible flapping around in bikinis there.

I give #Manipulators permission to repost this image.


A big thanks to the stock/brushes artists:
:iconjlstock: tail tail
:iconlindowyn-stock: mermaid hand
:iconnormlifebabystock: mermaid
:iconriktorsashen: fish
:icondonstock: water
:iconjadedsphnix-stock: water
And, as always, hair brushes from ~Darkresources :heart:

and also thanks to the sxc.hu photographers:

just a fine piece of art you've made in here :)
i found myself staring at it for a few mins and just enjoying the work you put into this art and the fantastic outcome .

very good job , as though i can fill I'm down there in the deep blue see , feeling the little bubbles around , as the mermaids straggling slightly - swimming deeper .

very good :)
Have a nice weekend ,
Nadav .

ohh I love the atmosphere of this shot and the twirling motion of the figures. Perchance, would you happen to have the unedited stock images still? I just noticed that the model has deleted all of her work and I'd like to use them as artistic refs:(
