The Little Mermaid

For my final school project, I decided to try my hand at modeling a mermaid! She is based on the bluefin nothobranch, a small tropical fish I picked especially for the colours!
I think this is my favourite project so far, even though the transparency of the fins gave me some issues.

The concept art and palette of the mermaid. She was supposed to have tentacle-like hair at first, but I ended up choosing a fin/mohawk.

I wanted to make a more "realistic" mermaid, hence the flat face, lack of breasts and webbed fingers.
