Well after becoming pregnant with my daughter I had to put the tail I was making on the back burner and leave it there for quite some time[emoji53]
But I have finally gotten use to the routines of having another little one around and have decide to try once again to make my tail

My scale idea is similar to the last set of scales but this time I will be trying to make the original scales with a 3D printer then use them to make the molds. I may make the hip fins with the 3D printer as well but I am undecided on how large I want them to be so I may sculpt them by hand.

This is a poor sketch of the scales I am trying to make. The lines will be raised up to give the scales some texture.

And for the color scheme I am going with a light green and lavender. I’ll post a picture later of it
Wish me luck as I try to make the scales for now. I am not the best with computer programs lol

Final choice I really like the colors even though it’s not exactly the colors of the pigment I’m going to usehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180104/65707b6df66bfa32624245eed71eca15.jpg
Any ideas for fins??
This fish is the inspiration https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180104/f3e48bcdb60e341b575ee520731aa702.jpg
