Mermaid "armor"

[amaya1700]

Hey everyone, been a little less than a year since I have been on here. I am getting close to having my first silicone tail. But now I need help from some creative minds. I want to make my top to look like armor. I want to make one in gold and another in silver but with the same details. But for the life of me I can't seem to get any drawings down for myself and any photos of something that I really like. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas they would mind tossing my way? And/or the name of someone who might want to tackle this project with me? I want to make it of dragon skin silicone. Fair warning I am very busty so that might effect the design. Thanks!

I made a thread about mer armor a while ago. I'm not sure if there's some inspiration over there, but you might want to check it out. Also, I'm not entirely sure what your tail looks like, and I'd get armor to compliment that. Is your tail light and graceful? Or is it dark and fierce? Is it a mix of both? I say start with your tail design, and design armor to compliment that.

I have a few fabric tails that I am trying to match it to. Any of them have gold or silver accents

Organic Armor had a booth next to mine at Mermania. I think it's Latex? Ppl were swimming in it. Check them out for inspiration and they offer workshops in Asheville too.
