Mermaid's Kiss (Mermay) (Patreon)

Here's the finished project! Originally planned on making the scene about a drowning knight, but I wanted to go more fairy-tale and eventually ended up with the final concept!  I can't really say what the full story is for it, so I'll leave it open ended.

Here's my concept scribbles:

The scene setup itself is pretty messy. Lots of planes and things floating around just to get some of the effects i wanted. With the total scene being 34,345 tris. Since it's not something I planned on animating or using anywhere else, I think "cheating" the effects works just fine.

I hope I was able to get close to what my original idea was!
