Mera was once an undersea queen in an alien otherworldly dimension commonly referred to as Dimension Aqua. Several years ago, a criminal named Leron seized control of the kingdom and deposed Queen Mera. Exiled from her kingdom, Mera fled Dimension Aqua for the Earth dimension whereupon she met the Atlantean sea-king, Aquaman. Aquaman and his sidekick, Aqualad, vowed to assist Mera in any way possible. Leron pursued Mera to Earth, and managed to capture her along with Aquaman. He brought them back to Dimension Alpha where they were imprisoned. Aided by the water sprite known as Quisp, Aquaman managed to free Mera and defeat Leron. However, rather than return to the throne to her kingdom, Mera elected to return to Atlantis with Aquaman. hiya , tonights image was sort of a challenge from a fellow artist princedarkstorm.oddly enough i'm not well versed in her comic history save for a couple of old 35 cent comics from my child hood days.apparently she's making a small comeback in the comic world.i have to admit her power to manipulate water into solid objects stands out most for me.so much so i decided to see if i could create something in this piece to depict just that. welll after about 3 days i got pretty close to what i imagined... sort of.the finished project took about 5 renders in daz and 70 layers in photoshop not to mention about 10 psd's which i pieced together as a basis.nonetheless it was a very intense learning experience. let me know what you think :)
