Juku's (aka Blix) neoprene tail adventure!!

[jukumerboii]

OK so I'm finally moving up in the tail world. Going from fabric to neoprene! Thanx to Mermaid Mortica for making the blank tail because I'm in no way in any form able to sew...ANYTHING!! I'm soooo excited for this project. Its basically Blix 2.0 this time around with a new fluke and WEBBED FINGERS AAAHHHHHHHH👄👄👄😄😄😄!!!!

The feel I'm going for is like, a protector of the Caribbean coral reef type thing. I drew up 2 different fluke designs and 3 different arm fin designs. I hate myself for doing this 😥! I won't be showing which fluke that for picked until the paint job is done 👅!

If you mers have any tips along the way PLEASE PLEASE let a brother know! I'm scared as fuck to paint this tail but imma just man up and paint it lol. ✌

Nice! I love the colours of your tail design :) A nice coral scheme, not not girly or anything. It looks very merman!

[Prince Calypso]

how are you gonna get them to match your skin tone Juku?
that was my biggest concern when you sent me the link and tutorial
i was thinking of using nylon (stalkings) but it would be too thin and tare really easily

[jukumerboii]

I actually failed at this TOO many times lol so I got the original creater to make me a pair.

[Prince Calypso]

i might do the same casue um yeah i think i may have broken my grandmother's sewing machine

[jukumerboii]

Lol yeah its harder than I thought! I believe she quoted me with $150 because its a special fabric she uses and she's spray painting it and adding frills to it!
