Not so little mermaid

#1 Post by xl live »

It's a commission for a good friend and will have to be shipped intercontinentally.
So for the pix she's sitting loose on her base and the tailfin isn't fixed.
Painting was both a pleasure and a challenge - It ain't easy blending the colors on the fin without an airbrush.

Excellent work there xl. It really takes some talent to paint like that with only hand brushing. Good photography skills too. She's a beauty! 8)

A flawless build of a sensational sculpt.

She has exquisite flesh and the multi-coloured shells show off her beautiful face to perfection. Her hair is stunning and it too complements her flesh - and her tail. Love that tail.

The base is extraordinary, with impressive detail on the top and the blue on the bottom is the perfection 'finish'.

She's impeccable and shows off your talents so well.

Now if only Disney would make this version of Ariel in a reboot of "The Little Mermaid"...I might buy the DVD. :lol:
Great work!
