Hi all.

The sci-fi style's ocean elf has gills on her long body and some parasites on her head.the thruster she's wearing can help her swimming like a torpedo.

Actually it's my frist colorful concept design(i'm using photoshop,painter and a small wacom).

critiques and comments are very welcome.

thx a lot

I think it looks great, although I can't help being reminded of Legend of Zelda's Zoras. But maybe that is a coincidental resemblance, I'm not accusing you of plagiarism or anything! Besides, it's only a passing resemblance. :)
I like how she fades into the background, it gives the whole pic a better sense of unity. Other than that, wouldn't all the metal equipment, not counting the thruster, slow her down while she was moving under water? I don't really know her background, so maybe I shouldn't comment on that. It's sci-fi after all, maybe it's an ultra-light alloy.
Nevertheless, good work.
I'll just shut up now.:beer:

Great design. Isn't an ocean elf called a merfolk?

Looks very good... :thumbsup:

The only thing that comes to mind at the moment is the clothing, which is as I'm seeing it at the moment covering her gills. Wouldn't that make it a bit hard to "breath"? :shrug:

Then again inhaling goes through the mouth and exhaling through the gills which would make the clothing move out of the way... hmmm... :hmm:

Have I said that I like this picture a lot... :D

I think this is great except for the gill placement. I think they would be better off under her jawline. They didn't just pop-up on fish like that for no reason. The water is at it's freshest and most oxygenated as soon as it enters the mouth. Even a Lungfish has gills behind the jawline.

Also the shoulder gear doesnt look like it's going to stay on for too long either. You might want to add a strap or two going under the armpit.

I really like the thrust pose in the hips, and the color selection. She definately looks like she is ocean going.


Nice work:thumbsup:
