That is gorgeous!!!!!! Hair looks perfect to me.

BTW, glad you choose that mermaid instead of the Ariel looking one.

I gotta say, getting the chance to affordably repaint this statue is the only silver lining to the fitting issues that plagued some members. I've got a Mermaid Lagoon now!
These all look great! Amazing job on painting them.

Hmmmm......I have a friend that lives in Austin. Don’t file a police report if these go missing. Just know they went to a loving home who appreciates them

Seriously - love the latest one too. That pink is lovely!

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Danchez you have a gift with the paint brush. If only SSC hired you to oversee Tinkerbell's painting.
Ps What is with all the damaged mermaids on ebay? Why wouldn't the owners just return them to SSC for full refunds?

These look gorgeous! Amazing job sir! Would you ever consider doing these for members of the statue collecting community?

Thanks so much! And thanks to everyone else for the positive feedback. I was really nervous about this one, as I'd never attempted hair shading like this before... It was a process, lol:



As far as doing repaints for other collectors, I wish I had the confidence, but having someone put their statue in my hands is much more daunting than doing work on my own collection. As it is, if I mess up, I have only myself to answer to, lol. Maybe one day!
