You are very welcome. Do you do smaller resin kits or strictly the full size bronze ?

I don't have a smaller kit. This one wouldn't work well in anything other than metal.

A shame. I would love a 20 inch version on my desk

If I reduce the size and cast it, I'll let you know.

I tried to make them look like they were almost grabbing on to the water, like she was using them for balance the same way we use our legs.

How did you manage to get the thin tentacles on the rock without them breaking

There is armature that you can't see. Β On the final, the tentacles will be made of solid bronze and will be strong enough to hold up the rest which will be only 1/4 inch thick.

Will do. Β Thanks again!

That is the way real breasts look under water...I used reference photos. Fat floats as it is lighter than water. Silicone and other types of implants sink because they are denser than water. She is a sea creature and her hair, breasts, and tentacles need to agree with the laws of gravity, buoyancy, and each other to create the illusion that she is floating in the water.
Thank you for the compliment though! I appreciate your critique.

Now that's quite a twist on the old mermaid's tale...er,.tail! Never thought of such a thing. I believe you might have a DA classic!
