First sequin tail design!

[River Melody]

Here's my neoprene/sequin tail design. I based the colors off of freshwater predatory fish, and I'll be using the tail mostly for filming in freshwater or kelp forest environments (nothing tropical). I'm still figuring out how to make the top and the pectoral fins work... Also, I've designed the fins and end of the tail to be made of organza. Does anyone know if that will cause problems?

Gorgeous drawing! Can't wait to see how it turns out. The organza sounds like it would have such a lovely flow in the water, though I wouldn't know how it will hold up in a swim.

BEAUTIFUL! you could make the top connected to the pectorals maybe. that should minimize your problems

I was thinking the same thing. Attaching the scales and fins directly to skin seems like a lot of work, and it can be hard to get things to stay in place. You could probably save a lot of trouble by making it out of a skin tone strapless bra.

Plus after you finish a top that's all one piece you can try making it out of multiple pieces held to the skin with adhesive, like you have there, and if anything goes wrong you already have a completed top as a backup. You've probably already seen them, but here are some other threads with info that might be relevant:

I really like this design actually, how the colours work together, and im sorry for this, but as the daughter of a artist I need to say this, the drawing need more shape, that means more back, more hips and more ass xD

Did you ever start on this? I love the design.
