Is just about finished, actualy the whole set (Vickie and Supermodel mermaids too) are just about done. I decided to do a bandeau top for all of them, even though the hair will (eventually) morph to cover the nipples. I would guess some of you will know why I did it for the PT. Anyway, I outdid myself on the cleverness on the mapping (they all take the same tail map), but I had a heck of a time making the joint between the tail and the upper body look right. I finaly decided I'd have to ship it with a body texture, so I could control the blend between the tail and the body skin. The texture is one of Cathernine Prezaks, per her licence, modified somewhat, I guess I should add some makeup to the older girls- do mermaid's wear makeup? Or would it wash off? ;-) And no, I don't know what is wrong with her right hand, that part of the body is pure DAZ.

She looks very nice. I know why you did the bandeau but all the mermaids I know don't wear tops. And for makeup, use only waterproof. :) Can't wait to get the set. BTW I'm eagerly awaiting the second SMV clothing set.

Her tail needs some morphs looks like a flat piece of iron from a propeller.

No make-up. Even the waterproof mascara gets in the eyes. Visibility is tricky enough down here in the kelp-beds! No perfume, either. The last mermaid who mixed fish-oil and jasmine got eaten by a shark. There is nothing more attractive on a mermaid than a nice graduated pearl necklace... unless it's more pearls! :) Carolly

A pearl necklace- hey, what a great idea, how natural for a mermaid, too!

Why not a kelp top for the shy young mermaids? Marque

Why not a pearl top for her? I do think, that at the bottom...the feet part...the fin could still use a little work. Or, it could be just in the rotation of this render.

She looks fabulous...can't wait to see more. Good work. Sharen

Thanks guys & gals! Yeah, the fin does look sort of flat, but it is really just the angle. She actually has 6 alternate fins anyway, they pop in with a dial, and the tips are poseable, so she's in pretty good shape in the fin department. One of them is a vertical shark fin that I really, really did before I saw the one posted a week or so ago, must just be that great (or maybe not-so-great) minds think alike.

Try adding just a 'touch' more aquaticness to her...add webbing between her fingers!!
