This piece is an expansion on a character I was animating around the time I heard about the call for entries to Exotique, by Ballistic publishing. I figured it was worth a try.
I wanted to do something atypical; mermaids are often depicted as sexy half humans, but i wanted to go for something a bit more like an actual fish, and more predatory than seductive. As things progressed, I decided that maybe she wouldn't be one that deals with humans, and made her a deep sea creature. Since she would need to eat, I figured she'd have to lure her food to her, so I made her bioluminescent, yielding the final result: beautiful, attractive to her prey but discreetly and ultimately deadly.
Fun fact: i often forget to sign my pieces, but i signed this one!
Oh and as usual, mature filter on because of the boobs, discrete though they may be.
