Mermay..a - Preview

thank you! I think tilting the head to the sides is very effective to convey different types of seduction. Kinda gives the idea that she's not looking to you, but the eyes are. Also, I really loves those falling strands, and I think they add a lot of sexiness to the face =D

well, Iris set the bar very high, so I had to pull all the stops on making Maya =D

Lee

I did consider making her hair longer, but it would be a bit out of the character, so it's short for now =D so she relies on bras to keep everything in place =D

Lee

thank you! I try to give it a very clear view on what the final image will be =D

Lee

I had to make a pun out of it =D

Lee

Looks amazing already, as is typical with your preliminary sketches. Can't wait for the final product!

True mermaid fact; Bras add to the drag coefficient when swimming and slow them down. They are typically avoided and long hair has been found to be an adequate substitute in situations where discretion is required. 😉

As much as I love Iris.. I have to admit Maya is really growing on me.. er rubbing on me.. honestly I dunno what she's doing to me but I like it! Girl has some delicious curves on her and her face kinda reminds me of Nikki Sims, kinda girl next door look with porn star body lol Looking forward to seeing more of Maya and of course Iris!

Ooooh, now this is a very welcome surprise! 😻😻😻 Oh I just adore Maya's pose and demeanour here, there's something so alluring and seductive about how she's leading her head down as she looks back up at us and I love how it caused strands of hair to meander down over her face. I do also like detail of how her hair appears to be wet which of course makes total sense. The strands on top look great too, my favourites being those that spread out over the top of her head and down the back. Her expression looks very nice too with the slight part between her lips looking so appealing and sexy 💜 I love the pose too with some subtle foreshortening to her body as she sinks back into the water and I like how her shoulders push up as she leans onto her arms. Of course her breasts look gorgeous too and they hang with this realistic sense of weight that you've captured and the amount of rendering that you've added already shows off their definition really nicely. Excellent work so far! Mermaya is looking beautiful and I'm very excited to see all of the final colours, rendering and little details! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
