Hiyo all, glad to be part of this community!

Ever since I was little I always had the feeling I belonged to the sea, then I learned about mermaids and sea elves. Ever since I've wished to be either of them.

Mostly I just drew mermaids and elves, but now I might just build myself a tail with the insights I've gained here :D

I like your drawings! Pleasure to meet you. If you made a tail, what would you like it to look like?

My first tail will be dolphin like, but instead of grays I will be using blue shades

So do you think it will be fabric or neoprene? I think neoprene would be better, not just cause its a nicer material but also I think its better for dolphin like skin.

I'm going for neoprene, mostly because water here stays cold mostly throughout the year, and I don't really think they would allow me to swim in swimming pools.
I will make a sketch soon to show how it would look like. I even found some neoprene sellers with the colors I like

Welcome to the forum :) I like your dolphin tail idea! I though about doing that because I know a way to make a dolphin like dorsal fin. Good luck :)

Oh! Netherlands! I used to know a girl from Netherlands! She grew up in Norway, but she moved back with her mother when she was eleven or twelve.
I'm looking forward to see your tail!

Oh, it is nice here, but we do not always have the nicest weather, which makes swiming in open water often a cold experiance.

I have friends in the Netherlands... for awhile, my dad was doing business with a Dutch company, and there was some talk of us moving there. Since we were very young at the time, my parents decided to get us used to the idea by celebrating Sinterklaas Day (St. Nicholas Day, when you leave your shoe out for the saint to fill it with small gifts and candy, for non-Dutch readers) with us. The move never went through, but we never let them give up celebrating Sinterklaas day, either :)

Cool, I have friends in the US who I first had to explain that Sinterklaas and Santa aren't and somehow are the same :P But we don't celebrate Sinterklaas anymore, because it's more of the little kids, now Christmas is a big happening in my family, with lots of home made cookies! :D

Welcome! If you've not seen this video, perhaps you could take some inspiration for your tail. =) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q2WS6ahCnY

I've been trying to find out who made them, even contacted the director and Madonna herself, but no reply. =/

Oh, now I'm jealous of their tails. To bad you never got a reply

Yeah. I'm going to keep trying though. There's a ton of people in the community who I know are interested for find out who made them and what they used.
