When I get my tax return back I’ll officially have enough money for my tail. *happy dance* Here’s my (rough) design. It’s meant to kinda ombre out, and the colors should be brighter. But I did this in paint, and my skills are limited. I’m not sure if I want the front and back to be the same or for the back to be solid hot pink. Because I've never seen the back of a tail that has the fading effect, so I'm unaware of what it would look like. Also spots or no spots? I feel like they add some more depth, but is it too much? It’s based on the adorable Strawberry/magenta Dottyback fish. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. :D

For the past few months I have been making different tail designs, trying to find the one I'm in love with for Pearlie to make for me. After many trials and errors, I found it, but I thought I would share the designs that didn't make it. Might show the one I decided on, but I think I might wait until she starts working on it so show everyone. :D

They did. Eventually. He took 4 weeks after I ordered to give me a drawing so I figured I'd turn to others for a drawing. Sorry.

I bought it from here: http://www.cozycatstudio.com/

It comes with a over 350 options so you can make all kinds of humans, furries, and fantasy creatures.

Here's a design I've been playing with. It would way a ton because of those ridiculous hips fins though, so not something that will come true in the near future, but maybe someday.

[Mermaid Summerlilly]

I'd love to see that someday! It's beautiful! But no kidding, that thing would weigh a ton. :p :P

[PearlieMae]

Even if you managed to do it light, say with chiffon, the drag would kill you.

Beautiful, though!

Can I have some help? I'm getting ready to make a new tail because I've gained so much weight there's no way I can even pull my current one up past my butt, but I can't figure out the color pallet! I just bought this paracord as corset lacing and realized I would love to have a tail with these colors but when I drew it out it looked like a plain old rainbow tail :(

Do you remember Raven's tail with the merfin fluke? It was rainbow coloured but more vibrant than these colours

[Mermaid Momo]

The irridescent tail? I remember that one, I really love the way she paired the pastel colors on it, but I don't want to copy the tail :( And I know that even if the colors a slightly similar people will say I'm ripping her off.

[Mermaid Jaffa]

This is my new tail that I'll be making once I'm all caught up with college work... Who knew part time courses still had a ton of homework... I HATE HOMEWORK!!!
It will be for the foil monofin.

Nice work!!

One thing to help with drawing tails, is a croqui. I started using a croqui for my college course and oh boy, it has helped a lot when designing swimwear and tails.

If you don't know what a croqui is, it is a paper model that you trace around with paper to draw your pattern.

I normally just draw one side, then use tracing paper to draw the other side. Drawing the other side without tracing paper NEVER looks the same as the first side!

[Takahao]

Thanks. The left side was an attempt at a contour drawing of myself, or in other words, similar to a croqui like you said. The tail design on the right was just eyeballed with the symmetry tool in Krita. I'm trying to make it more draconic in appearance, I'm thinking a pauldron, diadem, and some forearms could add to that effect. Either that, or I'm kinda wanting to go for a Percy Jackson "son of Poseidon" kind of vibe.

My legs would be hidden in the trailing, tissue-paper bit, and the body would be basically a smallish hoop skirt. I have no idea how I could keep up with regular fish merfolk or make the swimming motion look realistic (pls see my thread in tailmaking if you have ideas) but I'm really proud of the concept.

Hey everyone, I'm having a hard time deciding which fluke design I'm going for. These are just rough concepts, but I'd really love some feedback! The thin lines across are where the monofin would likely sit. Remember that this is for a fabric tail, so it'll be flowy regardless, I'm just trying to nail down a shape. Personally I love #3, but that fluke is ginormous! I'm a powerful swimmer, so I could do it, but I'm wondering if it would be too much?

Id go with the middle design because its balanced enough to jot create much drag but also look flowy and elegant, btw it also greatly depends on your monofin, it looks like ur using une of the monofins currently used by mertailor for his fabric tails if thats the case that monofin isn't much big so try to keep the fluke proportional to that and youll look mermazing

Anyway, there is a thread for actual tails...so why isn't there one for tail designs? I love to look at everyone else's tail designs, so it seems logical to have an actual thread to look through! :p Anyway, I still haven't figured Mernetwork out (blah!) and haven't figured out how to get my pictures to show up directly in the post. My photobucket album, though, is here. (http://s1124.beta.photobucket.com/user/ZeezZeez/library/Tails)

Make sure you get your measurements with and without the mono fin.
And how for the fluke is going to extend from the end of the mono fin.

I'm sure you already knew this but just helpful advice!

My tail design is kind of simple. I'm going for humpback whale/spotted dolphin (ALL THE SPOTS). Since I'll be using the tail with a matching wetsuit and a Lunocet monofin, the pattern will hopefully serve as a distraction from edges and such.

Oooh, I like the integration of the purple peonies into the headdress!


My tail design is kind of simple. I'm going for humpback whale/spotted dolphin (ALL THE SPOTS). Since I'll be using the tail with a matching wetsuit and a Lunocet monofin, the pattern will hopefully serve as a distraction from edges and such.

Looks like it's going to be a fun challenge nonetheless!

I don't know if it uploaded correctly from my iPad but the tail I'm making is a deep burgundy with black fins. I may add side and back fin as well. Planning on using the finis foil monofin. :)

Paying with colors for my narwhal. Pardon the very basic outline I'm getting used to drawing with my fingers on my phone lol. Last picture is a reference for the markings. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180116/8d06fd65903733b8045c2bd6a18435d4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180116/5687dc70661c8d464d4636fd66ac0f77.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180116/487fa82176ea740ed889b8becf95783f.jpg

First Tail Progress: Materials decided, saving begins

I can't quite decide whether I want the back to gradually become a darker blue, or to mirror the underside. :thinks:

[Mermaid Pickles]

So purty! And did you use watercolors for the drawing of the dorsal?

[The Sunfish]

Thank you! The whole thing is watercolor, actually (except for the black, which is ink). I think it works well for tail designs because it's very easy to build up different shades and blends.

[Mermaid Pickles]

Niiiiice!

[MermanJamie]

Woah, these are beautiful! I am awful at drawing, but I have a few good ideas for tail concepts. When I actually draw them up some time, I will post them here.

I was torn between something narwhal or whale shark themed....I think Whale Shark won out. Belly will be turquoise fading to dark teal at the sides, and the back will be a deep metallic copper, with the dots/patterns done in the bright turquoise. (Can you tell Turquoise is my favorite color?)

The dorsal fin on the back is going to be a standard sharky fin, but I'm stuck on ideas for the heel fins...I have huge feet that look pretty prominent in a tail, so I'm definitely going to incorporate heel fins one way or another. Maybe another pointed fin, similar to the dorsal...I dunno. I still have time to figure out all the details since I'm going to be saving up for supplies for quite a while.

My design for my Mertailor mermaid. Inspired by the Mahi-Mahi / Dorado / Dolphin fish. I grew up with these fish and it was how I became part of the Sea.

I would if I was allowed more colors. Only allowed 4. Unless I take away the darker green.

[Mermaid_Rain]

Personally? For a dorado/mahi mahi, I'd skip the dark green and go straight for the blue. Without it, the inspiration isn't as obvious.

Hi everyone!

I previously posted a bunch of tail designs in my intro post, way before I realised there was a specific thread for this, WOOP WOOP!!

Thank you very much!! Yeah, I agree that the fins would definitely create an insane amount of drag...would probably scale them down if I were to ever make them =D

[BlueCorvidae]

I've seen spellbounds with more colors. Is it something you can pay extra for or is he just not doing it anymore? (I can't find info on the order page or his FAQ.)

Some ideas I'm kicking around for a Loki-inspired mernation genesis tail. I'm not in love with the spots, but I feel like black needs to be on it somewhere? If I do pull this trigger, it would have to be next year at the earliest. I would really love a unique and affordable silicone tail, but I'm having a hard time justifying spending that money when I have no plans to go professional. I'm never going to earn it back XD not unless a pod of pros moves into town and wants some disappointing backup. I don't know, we'll see.

I love it! My tail was inspired by Loki too! Maybe you could add black stripes/ridges down the fluke instead of dots?

That is stunning, and the fluke is huge!

Thank you :D It probably (actually) won't be quite that big in reality...I just have a habit of over-exaggerating my favorite parts of a drawing just a tad lol

Here is mine! I know it's simple, but I like it. I'm actually going to make this one out of silicone with a SWEA'M Hydra monofin as soon as I am 18~
I've been saving up for the past few years and now I just have to buy the materials, but I don't want to grow out of this tail after only a year, so... 43707

Here's my most recent design, and the tial I'm probably going to make first. It's a turquoise to black color shift.

Since I plan on making more than one tail, I figure I should probably start out with the most simple one first, haha! Besides, that gives me more time to get my accessory fin sculpts perfect [emoji4] 43766
