So there are a lot of these Siren photos I never put up and I'm not entirely sure why as I love almost all of them. They were all so lovely in spite of the fact that we couldn't get better backgrounds for the subject we were shooting.

All the same, ~blackfruitbat did an amazing job with what she could :D!

The outfits were a labor of love for me though you can't entirely see them. I love the little pearls jewels we ended up deciding to put on our faces with the scales. I think the end effect was perfect and I'm thankful my wife let me dress her up for this project of mine. She's so tolerant XD! Tolerant enough to put on hours worth of make up for it lol. What a trooper.

Anyway! Love to everyone involved in making this happen!

I actually thought about doing that but I realized I was going for less of a mermaid and more of a siren ^^

Mkay. That? That right there? That's beautiful art!!!

Okay, pretentious wanky comment over, seriously these are a stunning set of costumes. You designed them yourself? Girl, I hope you do something professional with this talent of yours because there's so much detail and imagination here. I love the makeup designs especially (as a makeup artist, I'm a little biased lol!) The little pearls are a really lovely touch and the ears are fab! What did you use to make them? From here, they look like foam latex?

The wigs too are stunning. The blue one reminds me of waves of the sea - lovely! Are those shells on your crown/headpiece? If so, classy addition!

And it seems :iconblackfruitbat: has done it again with their mad photography skills! You're so lucky to have such a talented photographer. :D

Keep up the amazing work! xx

Oh my gosh... all your compliments!

The ears I actually had to get from this ebay seller because (at the time) I didn't have access to the materials or special oven it takes to make something in foam latex. I do now but I don't know how to work with any of it. My roomie :devalcblueeyes: does though and that's just awesome in my mind lol.

If you check out :iconblackfruitbat:'s work, she cosplays with us and she's actually wearing my third Siren design. Though she made the outfit herself :D!

I suck at replying, I'm so sorry! ^^"

That's really cool you managed to source them on Ebay, I wouldn't have guessed you could find decent quality prosthetics that easily from there, very impressed! I would love to learn how to work with foam latex. I've worked with liquid latex before, but never foam. It amazes me the results you can get with it. <3
