Tail Design Commissions

[mermaidopal]

Hi there,
Would anyone be interested in tail design commissions? I would be down to do 5 free tail designs for different folks, based off of your vision of what your tail should be (whether that's a color scheme, an animal you want to take inspiration from, etc)

If enough people were interested, I would take more commissions at a small price (probably ~$10 each). They would be sketched and colored in with colored pencils (alas, I have little knowledge of photoshop). Would anyone be interested?

Here's some examples of past tail designs I have done and their inspirations:
(The tail on the left was my freehanded version of the Merbellas angler fluke template. Both designs are mine, please do not copy or use!)

Some more updates!
Meronica's tail:
33104
Her color scheme was dark green and gold/copper tones, and she like hip fins and wanted the Finfolk "Classic" fluke.
When I started speaking to my clients, I asked them their inspiration (color schemes, flukes, any inspiration pics, etc). Once I had those, I would do 3-4 small color mockups for them to compare so they could get a feeling for what they wanted. They would pick one that they liked the most and we would adjust as necessary before I did the final version, which is the big one. Side or back views done to detail accessory fins or patterns as needed.

RomanLaveau's tail was inspired by a more sinister or dark merman vibe, with purple, silver, green, and black as the color scheme. It was a really unique and fun tail to work on and it definitely got my creative juices flowing!
