Moo's Mermaids finally here

[AniaR]

you might remember if you've been here a while, our Asian tail maker, Moo who made lovely koi/goldfish tails. The project he worked on finally has a trailer


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJMTVov7Eyo#t=25

Back in the day Moo came on here and posted photos and videos of the stuff in progress. He also takes commissions! I've got him as a FB friend and keep in touch. Hope to own one some day! Moo does spfx freelance and does a lot of zombies and horror stuff too. He's a swell guy

[Mermaid Lorelei]

So glad to see his beautiful tails have resurfaced.

[MerEmma]

His tails are so gorgeous. The length and shape of them, imo, is incredibly realistic. Maybe even more so than the H2O tails. So glad to see the trailer for the movie!

[Meilyn]

SO FLOWY!! :O

[Mardoll_Star]

Wow! What exquisite tails!

[Mermaid Galene]

Beautiful!

[Echidna]

Very impressed with that orca.

are you sure they didn't just take a real one and stuffed it?
(because that would be no prob in Asia :p )

[Mermaid Adriel]

I can't describe how beautiful are these *o*

[AniaR]

It has a person in it steering it no lie. I saw the making of it and blueprints lol

[drucilla]

:drool: I bet they are soo expensive, georgeous!!

[drucilla]

Oh 4500 that sounds about right. I'm assuming those are foot pocketed?

[MerEmma]

I'm pretty sure they're not extended, but just have the bodycasting/neoprene lining part of the JMBFX tails. Fairly certain...I don't see any sort of extension when they swim.

[PearlieMae]

That's Latexman on youtube, no? (Something like that?) I LOVE his work...part of the inspiration for my scales!

Now I am rethinking the hip placement of my hip fins... I love how they flow on the sides! :thinks:

[AniaR]

yes I showed th eother thread link where Latexman aka Moo answered questions. He told me on FB this was the first part of the movie that aired and the second part is coming soon :)

[MermaidBrandie]

His tails are sooooooooooo pretty. I'd love to see one in blue :)

[Ashe]

I remember seeing a bit of his work when first venturing into being a mer! I had no idea the orca was from him - I loved watching him make it though! Great artist :)

[Little_Orca]

Lovely to see in motion; wish there was more so that I could see how the fins look without the dress in the way.

[Mermaid Melanie]

So lovely ! they filmed at one of my fav dive sites - Koh Haa ! <3 Moo was so helpful when I was trying to get materials for making my tail he gave me names and numbers to contact - what a gem !

[Mermaid Jessica Pearl]

It just looks like pure silk in the water. Hypnotising!

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Woo! Series 2 of This Love Heart with Rays!

Moo has been at work, here are some photos

Moo does spfx for TV and movies :) these are for a TV series. He has lots of horror movie stuff he does!

[MermaidBrandie]

[Mermaid Enora]

Those are amazing!!!!!!! So many fins!!!

[JamesGunnels]

I have been following his work on his Facebook page and he's AMAHZING! I have been waiting on full pictures of the rainbow tail. It's absolutely phenomenal.

[OceanWhisper]

Sorry for the language, but HOLY CRAP those are stunning!! I'd love to see them in action! :fallover:

[Yulia]

That's incredible!
But I guess they aren't that swimmable?

[SeaGlass Siren]

Holy mama ! Now THAT is art!

[Echidna]

That lionfish tail

:jawdrop::swoon:

incredible artist, really.

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Oh those latest pics are gorgeous!!! I imagine one must be a very strong swimmer to push those tails through the water.

[AniaR]

There's videos of his other tails in action. All silicone. All for underwater so I am assuming swimable. Check earlier in the thread

[PearlieMae]

I saw these on Facebook yesterday, what extraordinary work he does! I think the lion fish is my favorite.

[AniaR]

Moo is a super nice and fun guy too :)

[Mermaid Cascada]

:jawdrop: So pretty...

[Mermaid Galene]

These tails are so gorgeous! Hope somebody posts videos of them in action.

[Sherielle]

I want to see them in the water! God that lionfish tail. Uh-Mazing

[Mermaid Alea]

That's incredible!
But I guess they aren't that swimmable?

I was wondering the same thing. I would still want a tail with so many fins, but I would like to know if a tail with this many fins would be really hard to swim in or if the extra drag wouldn't be that major? I guess it would be a great workout.

I LOVE all of that glitter these are sooo beautiful! Moo does an outstanding job if only he was closer! Thanks for sharing Raina this is so inspiring!

So basically the tail is made of two parts (not including most of the extra fins)? Do most people not do it this way because it is harder to do or is it more expensive or something?

I think the lionfish is my favorite but the other one comes in a close second.

[Meronica]

I've seen these on his Facebook and just... wow! :jawdrop: I love all of the fins!

moos tails are swimmable I already linked this stuff on the first page of the post. http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?1031-New-Asian-Tailmaker&highlight=asian+tailmaker <-- see the backlog of his stuff. his stuff is used for people to swim in for movies.

[AniaR]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=y0uyGteT7E4

Moo is a member of the forum as "latex man" (those these are silicone) and you can find lots of his stuff under "moss prosthetic" on Facebook and youtube.

[Mermaid Alea]

Thanks I was just looking at the old topic. Sorry for all the questions. :$

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Season 1: Ruk Nee Hua Jai Mee Krib (English translation is This Love Heart with Rays)
Season 2: Krib Nee Huajai Mee Tur (Don't know...)

Can be found in full episodes on youtube. Season one has English subtitles and season 2 maybe. At the time that I watched S2, there were no English subs, so maybe there is now. Got to check it out for yourself. I loved them both! Lots of swimming scenes. The tails are super realistic. Fins are so soft and flowy in the water.

[AniaR]

No worries. Knowing him he'll post swim vids of these tails too. Im not a fan of the flukes (even though they're more anatomically correct) I like the traditional mermaid look haha. But I love Moo and all he does

[Mermaid Jaffa]

I wonder if he'd mind if I made a tail like his orange ones but without all the fins. I just like the fluke! Maybe a pair of small side fins near the heels.

I'm going to come out and say it: Moo's tails are, by far, THE most beautiful tails I've ever seen (No offense to any of the other makers out there!) I'd love to see some video of that lionfish tail in action... :swoon:

Someday, when I win the lottery, I'd love to get a tail from him! Though I wonder how much they weigh...

[AniaR]

I think they're 5k for the koi ones

[Prince Calypso]

if i had the money i would just throw it at him for a tail. no matter the cost.
his tails are literally worth a few bills not getting paid lol

[JamesGunnels]

I asked him how much he'd charge for a monofin like that. Hopefully he'll have time to get back to me.

[AniaR]

He says he's not ready to sell overseas yet

[Mermaid Sirenia]

Practically drooling over those tails!!!! They are to die for!!!!

Isn't it wonderful? I wish it had a stiffer monofin in it, though.

Now I'm off to figure out how to make those fins...:rollover:

[Fun123joker]

:swoon:the way those fins flow in the water is just like a real fish. when the swimmer stops the fins look like they are flaring like a real lion fish! bravo!:swoon:

[Mermaid Freyja]

I just caught myself staring at this video, while on my lunch break at work, with my jaw practically on my desk (luckily not while I was eating, lol!). Amazing work! I remember seeing his first video a while back, and this Lion Fish tail is epic!
I love it for the flowy movement but I, too, would want a version with more monofin.

[Echidna]

Isn't it wonderful? I wish it had a stiffer monofin in it, though.

Indeed, it looks really hard to get forward.
I was physically exhausted just watching this, while imagining what my superlong tails will be like to swim in :p

[AniaR]

Well its more for filming and the look I think

[Mermaid Jaffa]

I love how its high waisted but the artwork starts at the butt... Or maybe its not finished yet? Either way, its gorgeous! And the merman is quite sexy too!

Nice to know I'm not the only one who loves shaking her fishy booty just to look at her fins!

[JamesGunnels]

I cannot wait to see his rainbow mermaid tail in action! His work is so beautiful. I really wish he was willing to sell overseas.

[AniaR]

He will eventually. Logistics

I would seriously travel to Thailand just to get one of his tails. They're stunning.

I heard it's the latex he uses, but I'm not an expert on that so I don't know. I didn't think he used latex for these tails.

I thought so. Someone else insisted they were latex.

I'm friends with moo and he personally told me silicone, has posted that on this forum, and his fb :) people get confused because his other work is all latex

Doesn’t help that his YouTube name is Latexman.

Definitely true haha! Well I'm glad they're silicone, I personally am not a huge fan of latex in general and have close friends who are deathly allergic lol. I'd kill for one even if they were latex.

Just looking at Moo's tails is a religious experience.

[The Water Phoenix]

Both tails are absolutely gorgeous!

[Ashe]

Has he started catering to the public yet? I think I remember there being mention of him starting to sell to recreational mers...

[Merenneito Nerissa]

Wow, didn't know he has considered that. I asked him some time ago if he's sometime planning to sell tails, but he only said that he doesn't sell them, it's just his personal dream to create them. Wonderful if he has started to think of offering those, they are truly masterpieces :)

[Dancing Fish]

I saw that white one on my feed and KNEW it was his work. Simply extraordinary!

[LouLouBelle]

I'm definitely following this thread...

That dragon tail is my favourite. Looks like a combination of tree frog, butterfly and Chinese dragon! The details and colours are just incredible.

Wow so ornate! The white and gold one is very inspirational for my golden koi tail I'm making. I doubt it would really be worth it for him to offer them recreationally/commercially... They would have to be sooo expensive!

:swoon::swoon::swoon: I don't know which tail I like more! I love all of his creations so very much!

Moo's tails always make me want to go make something pretty.

[Spindrift]

I was there when he was working on the orca. The fluke in my old profile picture is his work. I've kept very good care of it lol. It's one of my most prized possessions.

[LouLouBelle]

Thanks for posting those Raina.

His work is absolutely out of this world. I've seen a video on YouTube of the lion fish tail in action - it looks surreal in the water.

Found it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IdAsSJkTj6E

Maybe this has been covered, but is he now working in silicone instead of latex?

Yeah the tails were never latex . I think "latexman" came about because his earlier jobs were masks and prosthetics, and he still does some. I've chatted with him over the years but he struggles with his English

OK...how on earth is he stiffening those spines without tearing through the silicone? What is he using that's strong enough to hold the weight of the silicone, but still so realistically bendy?

[Celesteofthewaterlilies]

These are just stunning, I could stare at his work for hours, wow

Perhaps just a stiffer silicone? Dragonskin 20 or 30? That's what I would do anyway.

I'm thinking it would have to be a much harder silicone than 20 or 30. I've tested fins with 40 in the 'spines' and it was just marginally stiffer.

Hmmm I know theres an agent you can hard to make the firmness even harder. Pehaps that? Putting in a bar or something doesn't seem like a good idea and they don't move like there's anything super stiff in them.

Those are amazingly beautiful!!! I love the second one better though. Something about the eye placement on the first tail, looks like the fish is choking on a man.

[MerEmma]

WOW. I love the colors on the first tail--to DIE FOR. They're SO nice to look at, particularly when stopped but underwater. Beautiful. <3

[LouLouBelle]

I didn't think at all when I looked at it... But now that's all I can see... [emoji23]

I'm amazed at his swimming ability - those tails can't be easy to manoeuvre in.

Gorgeous stuff! Unwiedly and impractical for anything but photoshoots, though. I'd rather not look like I was being consumed, or fighting to get back to the surface!

[KateyMermaid]

Anyone know what his prices are for commission? Probably way expensive, but I'm just curious.

His work his breathtaking.

[Mermaid Alea]

I don't think he does commissions. The tails he makes are for a Thai Mini Series but other than that I am not sure if he sells his tails.

[LouLouBelle]

His work is beyond stunning. Looking at Moos tails next to 'regular' tails is like looking at clothes on a high end fashion catwalk compared to high street clothes. If the mer world had a fashion industry, Moo would definitely be right at the top!

... Every time I watch that video of the dragon tail now I just see a fish monster trying to swallow a man... who's desperately trying to wriggle and swim out... That little tiny gap at the back makes it look like its mouth is opening and closing... I was completely awestruck by that tail too! Jaffa - why did you need to do that?!? [emoji23] (It's still an insanely awesome work of art - I just can't shake that image of being swallowed by a fish!)

But its got eyes! EYES!!!

It was the first thing I noticed when he dove in. Not the elaborate fins and detailed artwork. Twas the eyes...

Well the first tail anyways. The second tail, has no eyes. Just angel wings and brocade.

The tails cost somewhere of $20k and upwards. Not sure if its per show or to outside clients.

[Khaleesi Daenerys]

Has he been accepting commissions? Does he have a website to order from or get in contact with?

[lynsea]

New video of the naga tail! Those colors are outstanding along with, ya know, everything else.

Moo makes some of the most beautiful tails I've ever seen! :)

[Mermaid Freyja]

Was his Instagram page removed? I'm getting the "link broken or page removed" error message when I click them.
I'd love to follow his work over there <3

[LouLouBelle]

It's still working for me. Not sure what's happened!

i can't get the link to work either. :/

Whats the name of his account? I've been having a problem following instagram links lately

[Mermaid Lorelei]

He made his account private. You can request to follow him though.

[LouLouBelle]

That's such a shame! It's a peacock tail he's working on. I would post some screen caps from the video, but... with his account now being private, I'm not sure if that would be right...?

Does he have a YouTube account?

[The Water Phoenix]

Yes he does, It's called Latexmans :)

[Cordelia]

I can not even with some of his tails. They are gorgeous! Some of those flukes are HUGE, too. The wearers must have abs of steel!

[Kittymermaid]

Okay, thanks :)
