This is a parody of the Avatar poster. The original movie is created by James Cameron who is also the director of Titanic movie. In finnish language Ahven means a perch which is a fish. The idea just struck me one day and this is the result. I had previously modeled a fishman face with Cinema 4D in 2008 and I modified it quite a bit to make the Ahven poster version. The changes were the new eyes and nose. Currently I am working with the new skin shader. The skin texture you can see in poster
is version 1.
The new skin shader in model v2 picture. I think the latest version will be much better with Sub surface scattering and better skin pores. I´m not sure if it would look
even better with some gills on the side. Of course because it´s half a fish and half a human.
