I always see this mermaids and think: why they don’t have a closed nose and gills an the cheeks? I think it would be very interesting to see.

Okay, using a straightener to iron doll clothes is brilliant

oo do you play WoW? her bident looks exactly like one of my favorite staves from the game (Liara's Spire)! :D

That is the one I referenced when sculpting this one. I love all the trident styled weapons in BFA they had so many great ones. I used to play all the time but haven't since BFA, I've done a couple of WoW dolls before and I used to do a lot of Blizzard cosplay too, I was working on a Kyrian Covenant Armor set when covid hit but I abandoned it because making costumes was too depressing when there where no cons on the horizon.

So pretty! The details on the tail are amazing. I love when you can use cheap or leftover materials to achieve amazing results. I also think painting the scleras black was the perfect choice to make her look whimsical and deep-seeish. The name is such a good derivation too, so genius!

She's absolutely gorgeous! But the weapon/history/myth nerd in me has to speak up, it's not a trident but a bident! In Greek mythology, the bident is a weapon associated with Hades, the ruler of the Underworld, just fyi. I think it's actually very fitting for a deep water mermaid! <3
@LadyDynamiteCreatesАй бұрын
That makes total sense! It never even occurred to me that tri-3, bi-2 but that does play into her overall aesthetic too.
