I love the concept, but unfortunately I do have a problem. The bubbles from her mouth do not look real. Sorry. Otherwise a beautiful manipulation.

vkacademy In reply to Sylphcat [2005-08-19 02:49:17 +0000 UTC]

In the original photo, she is wearing a white shirt, so I had to paint in her shoulders and chest. I also painted in parts of her hair and her mermaid tail hips.

She looks too beautiful to be so deadly... but, then again, some of the deadliest things in nature are also the most beautiful.

Nope, I'm American. But I really enjoy mythology from all over the world. I didn't know that "undine" was Lithuanian! I thought perhaps it was Celtic or something. Thanks for the comment and the knowledge!
