Tail Designs

[MermanZen]

Hey all so I was thinking I should take my tail designing to the next level. I wanted to make a thread for newbies and naturals, who don't quit know what tail they want or design. So every week I'll post new tail ideas requested from my fellow Mers or ideas that come to me. I also offer my designs to anyone who wants a tail like the one I drew but since many are my original ideas I wish that those who make their tail based on my design, place my emblem on the fluke, the Z. this will ensure that I am credited in the creation of my tails. Just PM me and I'll draw up your idea and post it on the thread, and don't worry all credit will go to the original designer, you.

here are some of my tail ideas:

​Week 1:

[Mermaid Jaffa]

I like the merman one, but can't afford to buy a tail atm.

[MermanZen]

no its just inspiration for those who have the means to make a tail but cant decide on a design so this thread helps with that

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Oh. Well can you do something seaweedy? Either green or blue, or both! I want to be a seaweed siren.

[MermanZen]

that sounds amazing ill draw it up

[MermanZen]

How's this

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Nice. Though not a fan of fringes on the monofin part. What does it look like without it?

[MermanZen]

How's this

[MermanZen]

Sorry wrong one here's the seaweed siren tail

[MermanZen]

​more tails :D

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Ooo! Love my Seaweed Siren Tail! Thanks Zen, you are an awesome designer! One day I'll get around to making it...

[Mermaid Dottie]

Oh, my dear Zenny. You are quite creative. What program are you using?

[MermanZen]

Sketch book pro I like it because it allows me to use airbrush and also my favorite the undo button lol but ya I just downloaded it on my iPad saved the pic to my camera roll then posted it on Mernetwork I love the app it's my favorite to use when it comes to designing tails

[MermanZen]

Thank you all for the nice and positive comments you all have given me on my designs and remember and fish and pattern I would love to help make your tail reality

[Mermaid Dottie]

If I could, hon, I would buy you photoshop cs5. You've got the talent to take your skills to the next level with it. I just wish I had the money to buy you that software. :cry:

[MermanZen]

Awww thank you for wishing the best with my passion for designing I hope one day I will acquire this software

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Have you tried GIMP 2? Its free and have more advanced options than Sketch Book Pro. I use GIMP 2 for beading, you can import photos and create 3D images.

[MermanZen]

Huh I'll have to check it out too that's for that info

how do you like it :)

[Ilyena]

:D. Completely different to what I thought of. Awesome concept none the less ^_^

[MermanZen]

Oh please tell me what you had in mind

[Ilyena]

I would post it on here but, if I ever get a professional tail, I would like to use that design. It was more asymmetrical with very dark purple instead of black, fluke edge was red while the middle bright blue with purple veining

[MermanZen]

More fish based tails

[Mermaid Azira]

I like your designs! You use sketch book pro too? Thats what I use haha. I actually used to draw on gimp 2, but I find sketch book way easier.

[MermanZen]

Lol great minds think alike

[MerAnthony]

Is sketch book free? An can I use some of these tails for the fluke design? I am making a neoprene tail an need some ideas.

[MermanZen]

Of course Anthony this thread is to give all the mers ideas for their tail

[MermanZen]

Sorry everyone if I haven't been around on Mernetwork lately I've just been having a lot of stuff happening and I haven't been sketching but don't worry by Feb. 26 ill post my end of winter line of sketches for all to see remember anything you like or want in your tail by all means use it. I know that we're a caring and very supportive group and so I'm not afraid to give others ideas feal free to PM me if you want a particular design or questions for how to come up with a tail for youthanks for the support,Zen

[MermanZen]
