These are color choices I'm debating on for another piece I'm working on. I think I'll be going with the lighter color scheme since the darker picture looks a bit too much like, well...AVATAR colorization. I am a fan of the AVATAR movie but I'm aiming more for a tropical sea creature than a forest dwelling blue alien. I also chose to go with the twin-tailed mermaid because it's not the first thing someone thinks of when you say mermaid.
I started out using Poser Debut software to pick my pose and to try and flatten the nose to look more like the gill of a fish but still remain human-like. Then I exported the image into Photoshop CS6. After that I began with changing the blending option of the, 2 point, paint brush to multiply and then clicked the airbrush icon. I then added a new layer, then began to outline the CG model, following up with adding fins instead of feet. Then I printed off the image a few times and used colored pencils to fill in the sketches. I wanted tiger stripes with a bio-luminescence appeal to them so I used lemon yellow on the darker blue mermaid, and lime green on the turquoise mermaid, but I may have to touch it up in Photoshop by using the brush and experimenting with the blending options.
But for now here are my color choices.
The one on the top is the first color scheme I used turquoise and a few other shades of green and white to create. The one on the bottom is the second color scheme I used cerulean, lemon yellow, and silver. All of the shades I mentioned are in the Crayola Colored Pencil 50 count box.
