Mermaid is always standing as a fantasy beauty creature for me. Actually i want to model a dozen mermaids in sequence in variety of variants and anatomical features that supports the story telling. This model was basically modelled in maya and detailed up and , poly-painted in Zbrush. Hair was done using X-gen and rendered in maya with simple render set-up. A couple of renderings were trialed initially , and finally it was composed in photoshop on under world BG. The upcoming mermaids are going to be swimming in realistic under water setup with particle dust and all.
