Have I ever mentioned I really suck at coming up with names for my images? BAH! I just got InfinityRain and Digiport's new V4 Mermaid Poses from over at DAZ, and they inspired me to dig a few things out of my runtime that had been languishing. I really love it when I see a pose and it instantly gives me an idea. It's like a digital muse. If you're in need of a jump start for yourself you can run over to DAZ and check out what InfinityRain and Digiport have. So, I added on the LostRealms mermaid tail and just used one of the basic textures that come with the tail. I wanted cold looking fish girl, so I also pulled out Rebelmommy's Winter Dawn from over at RDNA. I also wanted some hair that would look kinda like seaweed and the Fox Hair by Arki (at DAZ) fit the bill. I also plundered my runtime for undersea corals and kelp. Judith and Traveler from RDNA came through for that. Their Modualz Aquatica sets are great. The ruin is an oldie but a goodie by Stonemason. It's a PC item called Greek Ruin, and I used the add-on pack Lost Temples for the Greek Ruin. The texture is more of a Central American theme, but I like the colors, so I didn't worry too much about whether the culture went with my mermaid. Our fanged fellow is Dinoraul's very cool Water Dragon. You can see a lot of his other critters both here at Rendo and then over at DAZ. The lighting is via two sources. One is a point light from Omnifreaker's UberPoint Light Shader for D/S. I placed it in the crystal of the staff. The other lighting is Milieux Luminaries by Macelene. There is a caustics setting that was perfect for my underwater drama. If you're a D/S user you can head over to DAZ to grab it. I nearly forgot... The girl's bra is from Aery_Soul's Classic Fantasy outfit. The texturing was done via shaders using Snaked! DS and Gleam for DAZ Studio, both by Khory_D and si_vincent and available here at Rendo. Aside from all that I used Patlash's "Get Fished!" Photoshop brushes to add some sparkle to the mermaid's tail. They're on sale right now at Rendo, so the timing is perfect.
