Hi guys! I'm just posting a thread here so I can plan my tail and update it as it gets put together, and for feedback on it. :)
I've made one fabric tail before this with my own jerry-rigged monofin, but I found that the fabric is breaking down and my new monofin doesn't fit very well in it.

I'm planning on either using my Triton monofin, or a Mirage Rubber fin if I can get one in time.
I'm going to be using this fabric for the skin, and I will be painting black spots along the sides, front and back. http://www.joann.com/performance-fabric-eggplant-purple-mystique/12196333.html#q=Bathing+Suit+Material&start=9
I'm also going to be using black zip-ties as spines down the back of my tail.
I'll post my sketch of the design in a little bit. :)
My Neptune's Daughter mock-up of the design is attached.

It looks so pretty! Definitely following this thread! I have my eyes on this fabric to so I would love to see how it looks as tail!
