Sooo I decided to post this here because I wasn't sure if it would go here or general...? But I've already decided my (eventual) tail will be from Raven.
I'm super sad because the money I had set aside for my tail I'm going to spend on going to Japan instead. Which i'm excited for.
But this was going to be my first tail and I really wanted to get active with the other mers in my area. I also wanted to start getting jobs locally, like at the ren faire, parties, my summer job, etc. I had designed my tail, got attached, heck, I even made a mersona for it. I wanted to evoke the magic and wonder in children that, sure, I can when I cosplay Merida, but that's someone ELSE's character. And not a mermaid. >_>
I knew I would kick myself if I didn't go to Japan when I had the money to. It's been a life-long dream of mine.
But Raven only gets busier everyday. You don't hear from her as much now that she's big time, and I'm worried that by the next time I have this much money, I won't be able to get a hold of her at all. Or worse...she might take a break from tail making.
I know I want her to do my tail and only her. I would make it but I don't trust myself with a new material and she has absolutely MIND BLOWING skills. Like, I won't pay anyone else to try to make my tail. It's not difficult, but I just can't justify risking paying $3000+ for a tail that if Raven made, would look 10X better and then some.
So I'm guessing I just need someone to play the world's smallest violin for me or pat me on the head while I cry.
lol. :(
