Description Fantastic piece I commissioned some time ago. Artist & stock account long-gone, sadly.  No 'mature' tag because you can't see anything that's not on broadcast network TV.

It's a photomanipulation people...not real!!  This is how Ariel should've looked when Ursula gave her legs!  Also, this is what Aquaman's old girlfriend Dolphin looked like, as well as Fathom from the Comico series 'Elementals,' & lastly Marrina from 'Alpha Flight.'  Comic fish-girls set in human form...git yer minds outta the gutter!!  Mermaids can have legs, too...they've just gotta have webbed toes to complete the fishy look!  Maybe she's from Innsmouth?  H.P. Lovecraft would be proud!  I could tint her skin blue & call her Lagoona from Monster High!  ...The Creature's niece.   See, lots of 'webbed' babes to be found!!

IF YOU CAN PHOTOSHOP LIKE THIS, send me a note...I might commission YOU next time

No, it's not fontpeter's. He did some amazingly real looking webbed manips...darn near the most realistic ones I've ever seen!!  I was really disappointed to see him go; I think he may have had some works removed by the dA censor police. That may have discouraged him enough to leave. Thankfully, his gallery remains!  


I commissioned this piece some time ago & really need to dig through my email archive to find that talented artist once again!!

That's not real is it?  Because it kind of looks like it could be.  Very pretty feet by the way.  Even if they are webbed.

It would be super-cool to see a real version, indeed!!  But alas, this is just a masterful photoshop version from an artist I commissioned some time ago...gotta track him down again!  I'd love to see this animated!  This is what I imagined your mer-girl's feet to look like, and just what you should attempt to draw next

Looking at this photo closer I believe this could have been accomplished by pulling a very stretchable substance over the foot and then by separating the toes a highly stretchable substance would separate in such a fashion.   A typical balloon could do this if the person were only strong enough to separate their toes under the considerable resistance.  While I don't believe rubber or even latex could do this there are some polymers that could create this effect.   I'm still kind of interested in the concept but I'm not sure I have the technical expertise to pull it off.

I think your beautiful realistic-looking mermaids would look even more amazing with the addition of fingerwebbing!!

I wish I could remember who I got this commission from, they're just about the best and most realistic looking webbed toes I've seen!  I'd like to get another pose done!

Webbed feet & hands to that extent would be pretty interesting - especially if the skin were strong so as to utilise for swimming and what not... That aside - Who is that hottie? I want to see the rest of that photo...

Is it weird that I think webbed toes would be awesome to have?

Well I lucked out and didn't get webs on my thumb toes. That being said my webs aren't really useful for anything, so....

I think they'd be super-cool to have!! You should draw one of your characters with them. Your girl studying on the couch would be a cool pose to see her webbed toes

No kidding- when I was on a swim team all I could think of during certain practice drills was "If only I had fins"  XD 

Great Picture Sandcastler!
