River Naiad

Been working on this gal for the past few weeks! My goal was to explore a mermaid aesthetic while experimenting with a unique tail design. Rather than sticking to a single concept, I pulled inspiration from a mix of reference images. I initially started working on her in May (an obligatory MerMay project) and swept her to the backburner for a couple months to prioritize other things. I'm glad I was finally able to circle back to finish her up (a very rare occurence ngl).

Created with Zbrush, Substance Painter, Xgen, and Maya.
