Under the Sea

Lemme get the stock credits out of the way first, because there's a few of them.

The head and body, including the lips and most of the hair come by purchased stock from shutterstock.
Extra hair comes from *gorjuss [link]
Eyes and nose are via *ACrazyCharade-Stock [link]
Hands are provided by ~kenjikobayshi [link]
Scale texture by ~jaqx [link]
Mermaid tail created by ~sadestock [link]
Fishy sea background comes from ~group-stock [link]
Other wave texture via ~dollieflesh-stock [link]

I think that's everything and much thanks to them.

This came about because had a headache, and I wanted a mermaid. That's pretty much the extent of my explanation.

This is a photo manipulation that was vectorized and then manipulated a bit more. I was aiming for those old pulp covers used for lesbian fantasy novels in the '50s and '60's. For a good idea of what I'm talking about, try strangesisters.com.

Enjoy and thanks for stopping in.

Just for fun, here's an alternate look to the piece. Same credits apply.
