This is technically for Halloween but I hope it’ll be used year-round. My friend Jess is a big mermaid fan. She’s got scales tattooed on her legs. She snapped this right up. Lol.
In Barnum and Bailey’s they spelled it “fejee mermaid” which I love so thats the spelling below. This was made using the “corpsing” technique I used on my bat from “monster tutorials” on Youtube. He didn’t have a tutorial for this, I just figured it out using the technique with the Press-and-Seal using a Michaels mermaid skeleton.

It makes more sense as a Fegee mermaid than a real one. The tail is too small. :smirk:

Lovely work!

Absolutely brilliant! :heart_eyes: Now I really want to go turn some random plastic skeleton into a mummy… Your fleshing and ageing techniques are literally SPOT ON! :star:
