January Challenge 2014: Day 10

Another addition to my Burgess Shale merfolk. This time it's based off of the Leanchoilia, a.505 million year old arthropod. Took a couple liberties, but they're relatively minor. Mostly in how deep in body I made the mer, and reducing the number of segments in the forelimbs to make them more like a human arm.

One last thing, I love brown. It doesn't get near enough credit as a color.

That is gorgeous and awesome and I love the forearms so much :D and the little face is so adorable.

Thank you. These guys are so much fun to create. (and I love making them all cuties)

brown is an awesome color.

this is a fascinating mer. certainly not a creature I would have thought able to modify to support the concept, but then you go and make it work. it's fantastic!

It is!

*grins* Half the fun of any of these is figuring out how to modify them into mers.
