Description Just a rant:

"PUSA! HINDI KO NA KAYA! SUKO NA KO!"
Yun lang po!

Spoof:

Mermaid: "You don't have to hold your breath! I brushed my teeth this morning!"
O siya, siya!

---

The REAL description:

Ang Huling Pantasya ni Kuya ... ay ang makasisid kasama ng mga seksing sirena! JOKE!

I thought I could do this on an on & off basis while doing other pending deviations.. but I was wrong! My bad habit of "finishing what I've started" kicked in and took control ! This is the most cartoonish colored rendition of Kuya 's lineart!

I am freaked out of murky waters so didn't make it too murky... except maybe for a bit of sand from the riverbed. The fishes were supposed to be dark gray & red in color, they were supposed to be red-bellied piranhas.I made the scene look like it happened on an early sunset, coz I promised I'll color it red! . And if you're wondering why the hell are the mermaids' fins multi/rainbow-colored... Besides of not being able to think of a decent color for it... I'll have to say it's because it's their mating season!
Their silver, scaly skin is inspired by the bangus/milkfish. The water.. well the water looks kinda weird, like semi-liquid jell-o.. but then again weird mermaids live in weird waters, don't they? I remember his scarf being red... But hey! It's Saturday! He wears a blue one on weekends!

I also want to thank the the following stockers, am very grateful for their textures:
Note me for any problems!

& - scales
- water
- rock

Ok, I'll have to shut up now, wear my helmet and get ready for some comments/suggestions/violent reactions to be thrown at me!
I really need some sleep now!

well, just wonderin' why it's a little too "red", pero I think it's normal for it to be a little blurry 'cause its under water nga. that's what I think, I think...

I want to try to depict early sunset underwater, I'll improve on it!
Besides other versions (see description for link) are ALL blue! Just wanna deviate a bit!

Fahyazhu In reply to TornElf [2008-02-04 23:29:50 +0000 UTC]

Based from underwater photographs I saw in google, the regular "blurry" green pa din ang effect even if it's sunset, yun nga lang, medyo mas madilim. I guess yung "red" aura ng sunset only works on the surface of the water. Still, this is one of my fave... keep it up po!

TornElf In reply to Fahyazhu [2008-02-05 04:27:28 +0000 UTC]

Wait, just did my own research. You are both right and wrong. Right in that the scene underwater during sunset is green, only that it pertains to deep and/or murky sea water. The scene above is actually a not so deep river, as shown by the sand disturbance made by the mermaid in the foreground. Hope that helps!
