Mermaidby ~theoracleofdreams

Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Fantasy

I would be a mermaid fair;
I would sing to myself the whole of the day;
With a comb of pearl I would comb my hair;
And still as I comb'd I would sing and say,
'Who is it loves me? who loves not me?'
I would comb my hair till my ringlets would fall
Low adown, low adown,
From under my starry sea-bud crown
Low adown and around,
And I should look like a fountain of gold
Springing alone
With a shrill inner sound
Over the throne
In the midst of the hall;
Till that great sea-snake under the sea
From his coiled sleeps in the central deeps
Would slowly trail himself sevenfold
Round the hall where I sate, and look in at the gate
With his large calm eyes for the love of me.
And all the mermen under the sea
Would feel their immortality
Die in their hearts for the love of me.

~The Mermaid, Alfred Lord Tennyson

Model: TwiggXstock

Shells Brushes: ElizavetBrushes

Tattoo: Yun-Zhen

Pearl Tutorial: valkiria-stock

Water tutorial: HaydenM

I created the scales using the pen tool and some creative effort.

Comments most definitely welcomed, this was my first attempt at using almost all my resources through photoshop, without trying to use alot of external sources, basically the model, the tattoo and the shells were sources from deviantartists.
