Description Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
Summer's out of reach
Empty ocean, empty streets
The sun goes down alone

But I can see you
Your scaled skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back
And aquatic armor on
I can tell you my love
For you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone



Boys of Summer - Don Henley  



Background - Sveva's Island Beaches



Kee hee, I've obviously had some fun with the lyrics, I hope they gave everyone a chuckle! Summer might be over now, but Caspian Brightwave, Merlyn Coralheart and Raen Darktide are still ready to enjoy the sea and sand. Will you join them for some underwater adventures?


This was my late-ish entry for an art challenge by - Endless Summer . Please visit her page to see a lot of other amazing artworks!

Thank you so much!!   It's so kind of you to pay me such a nice compliment, it really means a lot to me because you are one of the 3D artist whose work inspired me to want to make 3D artwork as well. You really made my day with your encouraging words!

My PC broke down.... I am so sorry to be so damn late! Of course I will add this wonderful gorgeous work to my collection and feature! And again, I am so so sorry that I am so late. As I said. technical difficulties, my HD crashed and I sat here without a computer for quite some time... and totally forgot about DeviantArt, to be honest...

I'm so sorry to hear about your computer, Mavrosh! That must have been really frustrating to not have a working computer or to be able to make any artwork for so many weeks!  

Of course I understand about the delay considering what the situation was, it wasn't your fault. Thank you for adding my image to your collection, and for offering us such a fun art challenge! Now that the cold weather has come looking back at all the warm and sunny Endless Summer pictures everyone created makes me smile.

Thanks so much, Luke! It might be too cold for swimming over here, but these sea elves live where it's always sunny, so swimwear is year-round!

I think I should plan a fishing trip... no hooks though, I wouldn't want even the tiniest scratch on one of these!


I mentioned it before, I love their skin - but isn't it a monster to render?

(Specifically, a sea monster!  )

LukaSkullard In reply to Wormwood77 [2019-09-30 21:40:36 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much, Wormwood!  Rendering one of the sea elves does indeed take a while because of the complex and shiny scales, but maybe not as a long as one might think. This particular render time was about 1.45 hours in Iray.

What kind of pants are they wearing?

LukaSkullard In reply to johnathon-matthews [2019-09-30 20:19:11 +0000 UTC]

All of these young men are wearing pants that are part of the Poseidon Outfit for Genesis 8 Males . Coralheart (in the middle) is wearing one of the textures from the expansion set. The other two have had their pants custom textured using shaders from the Exotic Leather Shader Presets For Iray .

Thank you very much, Domino!  Even though it's not warm enough to go to the beach with them anymore, I couldn't resist dreaming about it a little longer.

DominoPunkyHeart In reply to LukaSkullard [2019-10-01 02:11:13 +0000 UTC]

Thankfully there are places in the world where it stays warm enough to see your beautiful boys wear much less clothing and watch the sunrays gleam off their bodies.   Which, I might make them blush by saying that. xD  Even though I'm a guy who loves autumn and especially winter, I do dream of this too.

Oh my.... I am not a fan of the beach but the doctor said I need Vitamin D... so.... That's a nice excuse...right? :'3 and those handsome views are too convincing!!! Your boys are so handsome Luka, I could never see them enough!

LukaSkullard In reply to Tasukriel [2019-09-30 20:37:07 +0000 UTC]

It's definitely a good excuse! The sea elves can give you a day on the beach, a glass of chocolate milk and some nice roasted fish, and you'll be all set! Thank you for always saying such nice things about these characters, Tasukra. You're always so kind to me, thank you for being my dear friend!
