Mermaid Makeup Revision

Research in consideration of rethinking the mermaid aesthetic. 

As concern over the orange, grey and white colour scheme of the catfish was expressed due to the colours being too dull and potentially not being able to stand out from the realistic background, rethinking this character design has become necessary. The narrative author has described the mermaid characterisation to me as being a jealous, punky and sassy, and wanting to avoid falling into a conventional beauty and fashion category, I decided to look into Drag Queen makeup. I also looked at mermaid inspired makeup, and 'seapunk' inspired designs.
Going on to design and practice these makeup looks will be my next step in development. However, at this point I'd like to stop researching and designing on paper and begin rehearsing and finalising the makeup in time for the photo shoot on Tuesday.
