Moonstone inspired tail design

[SleepySiren]

Hello everyone! So you may remember that i posted a tail design some time ago.. well ive had to rethink getting my original design as all the additional fins would add about $1000 to the cost of the tail [emoji51]
So i came up with an entirely new design that I think looks nice without any extra fins but im still not absolutely loving it.... im not sure what it is exactly but somethings just not right :/

Any advice on improving the design?43564

ohh! looks AMAZING!
I love the lil fins on the fluke!

It's very nice, but that isn't a moon stone, it's white labradorite ;) This is moonstone: https://www.energymuse.com/moonstone-stones.html and it comes in an off-white, light orange and gray color ;)

I think this is gorgeous no matter what it's called! Don't forget the the scales will add more texture to your design. Are you adding any sort of shimmer or shine?

ohh! looks AMAZING!
I love the lil fins on the fluke!The base is actually from the mertailors website but thank you! ♡

Are you adding any sort of shimmer or shine?If i end up actually ordering it the mertailor offers a fine glitter coat which i think would help it look more opalescent. Also id love for the bronzy bits to be metallic

Also if i where to omit the white lines itd save me about $150... im considering it as in real life the white might would mute the color underneath.. idk

I like the white lines. $150 really isn't that much considering this is your dream tail and it's unlikely you would get another one. I think that it would be worth the wait to make it perfect.

I think that it would be worth the wait to make it perfect.Thats very true hahah, but as i said this is already a compromise for what i originally was wanting. It would have run me about $2800 instead of $1700 USD for this simplier design.. its not so much saving thats the problem rather its spending... i think i could bring myself to spend under 2k on a tail but over would be kinda hard seeing as im a broke college student that should be saving for my future lolol

Even out of college, that feeling never goes away! hahaha

You should look at PearlieMae's old posts and her new photos. She has MASTERED the art of including glitter in the silicone and getting it to cure. It gives the scales an unique shimmer and depth that no one else has really duplicated. I think what she's done is exactly what you're going for.

[inanna]

that is such a gorgeous color scheme

[BlueCorvidae]

I'd personally add more yellow to lighten up the fluke. I love the semi-transparent look (https://www.themertailor.com/pub/media/wysiwyg/1_Shop_Mermaid_Tails_Spellbound_Banner_3.jpg) the flukes have when they're lighter than the tail body. It looks very fishy. :D

Other than that, good job making it simple but pretty. It's something that's easy to accessorize, but still beautiful on it's own.

[Mermaid Delphinidae]

It’s lovely! Personally I think it would be good to get it shiny or glittery, if that’s an option.

Mmmk so im experimenting around a bit more... i increased the saturation a bit and i think i like it a bit more.. i also removed the white striping because i dont entirely love them anymore.. its beginning to stray away from the original moonstone concept but oh well hahah
I also blended the orange into the teal with a bit of yellow which i think creates a nice rainbowish effect...

Do you have the tail, fluke and fluke ribbing on their own separate layers?

[SleepySiren]

Do you have the tail, fluke and fluke ribbing on their own separate layers?Mmm no, all the blue is on its own layer, then the yellow and orange is seperate. I didnt go into it wil a set plan so i didnt use my layers very logically... i still have quite a bit of freedom for alterations though

I tried, but it wasn't easy with the little jpeg file. :$

I'm not sure if this is how it looked when you tried it but it's what I was suggesting.

It is important to develop your business and become better every year, I believe that you should always look for ways to make your work easier. For example, I found stock images here depositphots.com (https://depositphotos.com/bgremover.html) in different sizes, I really need it to use for advertising. I really love this site now because of the ease of searching for the theme and size, and it's not expensive if you buy in bulk.
