Description

A castaway stranded in a lifeboat is visited by a beautiful mermaid. The man stares at the golden scaled half woman-half fish in disbelief. Meanwhile, as she gazes back with a tempting smile on her face, two sharks circle the waters beneath the small boat. It looks like it is time for the Mermaid to feed her pets.

About how I create my artwork:

Rather than traditional forms of art such as painting or photography, I use a computer to create my images., It's called 3D Rendering and works like so: I make a scene by sculpting and arranging digital models in a virtual 3D space., After stipulating lighting and atmospheric effects, I have the computer create a simulated environment from which I take a virtual snap shot of the scene. Then, using image editing software and something more akin to traditional painting techniques (via a Wacom tablet), I go over the work adjusting colors, adding brushwork, painting in details, etc. to produce the final image. Software I use includes: Sculptris ZBrush, Blender3d, Vue, Daz Studio, and GIMP.

Thanks for looking!
