Description
I've wanted to do a mermaid under water for a long time. Well here it is. Verdict is still out on this one so honest critiques are needed. Having no clue how to do an underwater scene, I simply turned Flink's water on its side and moved it in front of her then spent a lot of time working on lights. The question is: Does it work?

Very, very beautiful work!
This is a beautiful image! Funny, I'm working also on a image with a mermaid and she also has this hair. It just looks beautiful.
(✿‿✿)She looks very pretty!
looks goos and misty. so far i use for underwater scenes a background on a pane to make it look 3d and another one complete water-bg in front and i play with transparency.so far nobody has shot me yet (lol). but then i dont go soo much for realism i concentrate more on the message i want to give with the image.on the tech side of 3d i am a bit weak so to speak.
A wonderful scene. Loved that little jellyfish inside.
Wonderful meermaid and water scene!!!
Nice work!
I think youve created an outstanding work here, and like you I cant wait to do a mermaid scene. Bravo! and hats off to ya for this one Happy Mothers Day
It's always good have friends, especially in the depths ! Crit, the fake sun light rays are coming from the opposite direction the the main light source (check the jellyfish dome) as for the underwater feel, I use lots of blue fog or in Poser's case, use the depth cue in the background drop-down in the material room. I hope that helps ? ~Cheers~
Excellent creation. Very nice done.
A very creative idea & wonderful results! If you ever want a caustic/underwater light, there is one in free stuff here. It is by Luna_s20

Your mermaid is very lovely, I love the lighting and the silent mood, really excellent !

Yes it does work. The water looks as if it has rays of light passing through the water. Very nice job.
