Crazy or not? New tail idea

[Mermaid Jewel]

So I'm finally planning out my new tail in detail and I came up with this kind of crazy design. I've yet to draw it out, but do you think it sounds good or should I change it to something simpler?

I've always wanted a koi tail but I have this aqua blue neoprin that I really don't want to completely paint over. So I was thinking of painting the scale edges white so it's like this really light blue and putting black and purple/indigo koi spots. And, as I mentioned in Kailani's thread, I want to paint semi-large rounded scales (way larger than typical but probably a tad smaller than hers). Would the koi design and the large scales look weird? How about the color scheme? Feedback appreciated!

[Joy&RaptorsUnrestrained!]

I don't know much about tail making, but a koi tail would look incredible, and I believe if you're going to do a project, you might as well go all out with it. I'll definitely look forward to seeing the results, regardless of the methods you choose.

[Azurin Luna]

I would think it would look very nice, especially since you make look like a magical koi in my opinion... and I'm a big fan of blue, but shhh ;)

[Mermaid Jewel]

Well there is a koi with light blue scales and orange/gold spots so I may do that

[ShyMer]

As a thought there are a lot of different pattern varieties and even scale varieties. Some koi have no scales and some have a combination of small and large scales on their sides. Do you have an image that you might like to use for an inspiration for your pattern?

[mermaid.dreamer]

I love your idea of the light blue and the idigo/black that would be really shocking yet quiet at the same time :) I think the largge scale idea is really neat as well :) I say go for it!

[New York Mermaid]

No tail is crazy, each tail like all of us are unique in every way. I say you should look up some kois and or other fish, get a good idea on the pattern shapes etc and go for it.

[Mermaid Jewel]

Yes I actually have a few pictures of koi that I took myself and based an oil pastel painting off of so I'm trying to find it to use as my reference :)

[koiboi]

obviously im a bit biased in my opinion but i love the idea of a koi design and your color scheme sounds gorgeous and new, i like it when we take from nature and create something new and different. be a blue koi!

Quick concept picture for coloring...the coloring looks nice. The paint job...not so much
