Description
Originally I wanted a maelstrom in the middle, but it's odd how few close-up stocks there are of whirlpools/whirlwinds.... Any stock photographers up for the challenge? The bigger, the better.
I've worked on and off on this for quite a while - I just never get happy. At some point I just decided to stop. *shrugs*
I am aware that mermaids traditionally don't wear tops, but I really liked the stocks, so... perhaps they're in the North Sea. Not very sensible flapping around in bikinis there.I give #Manipulators permission to repost this image.
A big thanks to the stock/brushes artists:
tail tail
mermaid hand

And, as always, hair brushes from ~Darkresources
and also thanks to the sxc.hu photographers:

Damn, that's hawtness on a stick. The lightning and the colortones really impressed me. A nice change from your previous dark manips (though don't take it the bad way, your other work is magnificent as well.

Love it, Red. Very underwater-sih. Methinks the bottom left corner could be brightened up just a tad, though.

This is quite different from the regular pieces. I kinda like this one.

Heh, thanks ^^ It's been almost 2 months since I last made a manip, so I guess that helped on getting fresh ideas.

Thank you, sweetie. I especially appreciate that you mention the poses - I think I tried 5-6 tails on both before I found some that seemed natural to the way the upper bodies were positioned.
A prints permission would be great - altough I rarely make prints since my manips are never good enough quality, for some reason :\ Anyhow, thank you so much for the kind words. And good luck with getting close and intimate with a whirlpool
ps: I made a walkthough on this piece - you can find it here - [link] I put *TheArcher777 down as the model, but I'm not really sure if it was her..?

Yep! That's her.

Hm - I never through about that - it's a nice gesture.
and hey... I just discovered that the quality on this was good enough for the smallest print size

I'll write you a blanket one. So you don't have to ask in teh future or anything.

Man I absolutely love this! Great work finding stocks- they blend together so well here!
Also.. I think I'm in love with the bubbles.. jsut awesome!!

Love the bottom half, not so keen on the top bit. I think something else on the seabed, or whatever the bottom part is could spice it up a little. But I'm a harsh critique when it comes to photomanips, mainly because I suck at them
Its awesome to see you're still around and being artistic
