I started this image with a background of sea anemone taken in a rock pool in south of France, I used a Sony Cyba-shot underwater digital Camera and just held it in the pool until I got the shot I wanted.
The Sea horses created from a horse’s head and a photo of a fish from my son’s tropical fish tank. The fish was then distorted in liquify for the shape with plastic wrap for texture, and then fins added which were also distorted.
The starfish is a toadstool which is also shaped in liquify.
The large fish was created from an Owl Butterfly wing the eye is from a real fish and fins added, distorted into shape.
The baby mermaid was originally a photo of my daughter as a baby and was the longest to create, as each scale over the body was laid separately from a fish, copy move then transform distort was used.
Each group of scales was then merged to one layer then copied to two layers. One was set to screen and the other colour set at different opacity.
The eyes were scaled larger, the fingers were distorted longer the web between the fingers and ears were created from the main large fin, a shell was then added to the mermaids head then heavy hue-Saturations and curves was used for the final green. The body of the mermaid is just a fish distorted in liquefy, transform distort and shear.
