Description
The Atlantica merman version was always one of my favourite takes on Riku's world styles.Now I wanted to bring it to a new level. This shot was actually taken underwater. I got myself diving photo equipment and tried it in a pool before I'll take it to the ocean.
And I discovered that swimming with the fin is actually working! Wow!
This shooting was so much fun. Thanks to *Ravenic for going on every adventure with me - this time underwater!
Hope you like it!

Go to bed
Dream instead
And you will find him
He's a merman
To the knee
Doesn't need something you're not willing to give
He's a merman
Doesn't need your voice to cross his lands of ice
Let it out
Who could ever say you're not simply wonderful
Who could ever harm you

Ahhh I'm running behind on commenting on you awesome work !!! curse you school !!!!
okay back to the pic
I really love all your versions of riku and this one looks ... well great !!!
I do have one question ... how did you get that flat chest ? photoshopmagic or something else ?
next to that I absolutly love this and same goes for all the other underwaterpics but they do get a bit repetitive ... dun kill me !!!
It's probably the blue from the pool and I do realize it must have been awesome to shoot some thing like this but that's how I feel
but I bow to you and ravenic because you were both able to hold your breath long enough to get beautiful pics (I sooooo would've failed at that)

I bet you can get the fins to work really, really well if you put something in it, like plastic or whatever it is they use for fins you can get at stores. Of course, you can't forget to attach it to your feet somehow so it doesn't flop around uselessly, lol.

....HOW did you do this?! I've seen a lot of incredible photos by you, but my god, this has to be my favourite ever. Absolutely phenomenal, you are amazing.
(Absolutely have to fave this.)

Do you have nipples or are you just nippless? I have been dying to ask since seeing your first picture.

I know you've probably been asked this, but how did you get the well... no boobs? It doesn't look like it would be a chest wrap because that would take too much blending and possibly screw up the photo. I'm leaning towards you have a compression shirt or the like? I lean towards this because there is a fabric wrinkle on your arm... of course it could always just be light reflected...

Personally? My guess is photoshop. Nothing wrong with it, it's a very useful tool, but if you look carefully as some of her Sephiroth pictures, you see a certain lack of gradient that indicates the use of the program's tools. Also, other small details like her lack of nipples. Either way, this is a gorgeous piece, and a wonderful work of art!

You take amazing shots! Just curious, where did you get the mermaid/merman tail? Did you make it or buy it?

I love these photos just out of curiosity where
did you get the tail fin thing and is it hard to swim in?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it's selfmade and it's actually pretty easy if you're a bit trained^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
In that case, you should go to the beach in that cosplay and hit on people
(Or freak swimmers out by using the fin to pretend that you're a shark)
