A mermaid and her pirate lover, both transformed into merfolk. The reason for the clothes is in the story.
sketched freehand with reference then colored in PS6
One of several poses taken for the back cover of my book. 'Tis me and Ivan, my 12.5 year old cat. Isn't he gorgeous!? He just HAD to get in on the photoshoot, I can't go anywhere in the house without him. He's my angel and erzatz muse (Just don't tell Clio!)
*Update* Unfortunately, this gorgeous creature has left my life forever. He died in my arms August 2009 after a prolonged illness that took his weight from 18lbs to 8. He is dearly missed.
BIO
My newest novel, The Speaker, is now available from DDP! Love in Ruins and Mercy's Ransom are still available as ebook DDP Fictionwise.com and Amazon.com ; so help me out and buy a copy so they'll want the second books in the series that I'm currently working on. And if it seems like my poser art is improving... let me tell you... it IS the size of your equipment! (New (read: borrowed) machine with much more RAM than mine!) I've been drawing for decades (won't tell how many;), then was introduced to Poser. I fell in love in an instant, not only for the myriad backgrounds it allows me to provide which were ALWAYS the bane of my talent, but to provide realistic poses to draw from when I feel like picking up a pencil! I think I'm finally getting better!

Considering his yellow tie is around his waist, what is the floating one? I also think that there needs to be stronger shadows where their bodies are touching- like his hand in her hair and her body held against his, etc. I think it would make it stand out and seem more 3D. Also, it looks like they are laying on something, but I dont see anything for them to lay on. And if it was the bottom of the ocean- would there still be the light reflections from the surface? Really like the pose though and nice expressions.

Looks like her fingers are slightly webbed...great! I love that feature on mermaids. Though, I think more extensive webbing adds to the exotic look!
