I've said it before, I'll repeat it now; you really know how to translate the "fruit" parts into the mermaids! The leafins look great! :D She's strutting her stuff! :D

Ground Cherry is bringing the sex appeal. She's not just a mermaid, she's a Siren.

And maybe a pirate.

That is a gorgeous orange, which is such a difficult colour to get right. The eye colour really sets it off as well. I love it.

Are these also known as gooseberry?

Makes me think of a poha berry, and looking it up led me to a Physalia Alkekengi which looks cool as hell.
But also, great job as always :D

flowy indeed. what I have liked throughout this challenge is how the fins and body shape look like they're dressed in a certain style. the shape of the body and the few bits of decoration take the appearance of a full outfit. I know this one isn't wearing much other than the patch, but the skirt like shape of the waist fins got me thinking about it. for some reason i find it satisfying. like, it's the sort of thing a mermaid would choose to do. no pun today? walleye never would have believed it.

Finally one that didn't replace the day before as my favorite. Not to say it isn't amazing, it is really good, just didn't top the charts for me.

She looks incredible! I see what you mean with the flowy fins.

Now I want to look up what a peruvian ground cherry is. Are these all fruit you've had, or did you go looking for interesting and exotic fruit for the project?

I’ve had these as a child actually! They grew in my grans garden <3

something tells me 27 and 31 could take a very dark turn...

10 months ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

My hopes for 31 is some vampiric, or demonic mermaid. Kinda like Lilith.

that or a hooded cultist mermaid would work... orange from day 4 wearing red robes and covered in 'fruit' splatter? XD
