Round flukes get a bad rap, there's plenty of fish with rounded tails. For instance,

Love the design althought Green is not my type but this actually capture me!

that lower leg fins look weird to me :confused: but overall look super awesome!

As I was going to realistic, the bass has two fins down it's back so instead of ankle fins I put the second fin on the back of the calves. It's only a concept but it is as accurate as I was going to get.

Not really a fan of extra fins myself, but I do love the bass color pattern!

It's going to be used to support and educate people at the local lakes about Bass and their importance to the lake ecosystem and that taking the fat, egg heavy females around spawn hurts the population. Basically I will be using it to try and convert meat fisherman into recreational fisherman and those who still want to eat them ... then take some of the smaller ones and let the big ones go. For that reason I want the tail itself to be a accurate as possible... I myself would much rather have small ankle fins than the Soft rays Dorsal ... I had to leave out what would be the anal fin because it looked stupid... I might not add that second dorsal on when I get down to actually making it though.

Looks just like the bass I used to catch! :-D Very well done! (I always catch and release.)

I think you might be able to get away with moving the 2nd soft ray dorsal to a more heel fin spot and maybe have it as a bit smaller? So you still have the "feel" of that fin, it just "fits" a mermaid better. Hope that helps?

It's a killer design and I cannot wait to see it real! Love what you're using it for! Best of luck! ^_^

With full support of my fiancee <3 who is gung ho for the idea of me making a mertail -which kind of both surprised me and didn't surprise me at the same time. I will be picking up my mono fin while I'm down in South Padre :D So I should be able to start my scale board and hopefully fluke sculpt soon

I am waiting on an old version of PaintShopPro to download to colour it in, But I used DollDevine to do a white Blank tail worn by me.

I had too much fun doing this, I probably won't order matching arm-warmers or make gauze cap sleeves, But I am saving up to order a partial silicone tail from Shelly, hopefully this year.
