I wanted to be a mermaid so terribly bad when I was 5... I cried and cried. I'm finally getting there. Thanks for looking.

lol not so ironic, I linked it back to here

thank you sweet Virginia

More Mermaids and Fairies please 

I thought this was the "other" topic...

That picture is really good... it has a depth of character that so many CG images lack..

What do you produce them on?

...and like Virginia said ..any more..?

wow im jealous. Im still learning how to do that. Nice job

That is simply amazing! How did you create that? What medium? Digital? Paint?  And do you have a deviantart site?

thank you It's 3d models rendered on an HP with a turbocharged graphics card and 4 gig ram? With some post-render tweaking in a 2D program. Sorry, I do have a deviantart site but prefer not to post the link here for privacy reasons.

Here's another mermaid, I censored the top for family viewing. Ariel all grown up...

I find it hard to take my eyes off these.  Just incredible. Thanks so much for sharing!

Chloe,
Your talent amazes me. that last one is just breath taking!

Beautiful. I especially like the second one... the expression on her face.

Maya or a different program for the 3D?  I'm going to guess Photoshop for the 2D work (please correct me if I'm wrong).

thanks again to everyone for your nice comments.

Modeling is done in Silo (fish tail and fins), some by other artists (notably the fish and helmet), I created the doll faces and body shapes, some textures, set up, poses, lighting, and scene arrangement; I did the rendering and some magnet work in Poser 7, and 2D is actually Photopaint rather than Photoshop. In my work my partners and I create and sell 3D models which is our real art; most of the image work I do is making promos for the models but I like creating actual artistic scenes when I can. I tried Lightwave once but it was hopelessly complicated and I'm a Chlo-bear of little brain. Silo is more like working with clay. I just like playing with dollies

Thanks for explaining your tools. I had bought poser and lightwave once and found it too complicated and gave up on it. Feel free to post others you make here...PLEASE!!!!

There are a lot of characteristics I like about each one of these. I can't tell if my absolute favorite is the beautiful hands on the first one or the incredible eyes on the second one.  I just adore these. I would buy full sized prints of these.

new one's adorable too. more, more, more!
