Almost nobody likes the sound of their own voice when they hear it back on recording. It really sucks to hear it but I've learned to just deal with it, haha. Still makes me cringe to hear it but sound travels differently through blood than air. :/

That looks a lot better now! I'll be starting on the construction in a few weeks, so hopefully I can at least have it made before the Pirate Festival I'm going to. ^_^
I am working on a new tail. I don't want to show any designs yet becuase I want it to be a big reveal.
*Dangles fishhook out over the water*
That is enticing. I'll be watching for updates.
I will have to think of something new and unique. All the fishes I like have already been done!
Aside from the parrot fish thing ;D

It is very much like the Navi. I love the blues.
Thanks :)

Not a tail design exactly, but imagine how cool a tail would look with scales like this! http://www.californiaherps.com/lizar...iscales604.jpg

This summer I plan to start on a neoprene/sequined tail modeled after the Weedy Seadragon:

I've always loved that critter!
Came across these corals the other night and thought they would make great scales.

It's based off of parrot fish, the blue and gold macaw, a lava lamps shape, bird wings and feathers, and of course a male friend of mine whom I love more than a friend.
I can't wait to have this turned into a reality, this is actually my first tail design ever.
Enjoy!

Here are two possible designs for my neoprene/sequin weedy seadragon tail. The first one would have a light yellowish neoprene base painted to a pumpkin color with airbrush, and navy neoprene fluke with the accent colors done in sequins and the fluke layered with chiffon or spandex:

The second design is the same except the base neoprene is all orange flame neoprene, which would eliminate most of the painting. Accent colors again in sequins:

I think I'm leaning toward the second, just because it would be less painting. The monofin will be my new, clear Hydra.
I like them both!
I'd say go for less painting. Both pictures are equally beautiful.
See, now I say go for the one you love most. Even if it's more painting, isn't it worth it?
You're right, Pearlie! Now I just have to decide which one I like the most, lol!
One thing I've realized is that I really don't need sequins on this tail. Seadragons don't have scales, so there's no particular reason to spend hundreds of hours sewing on sequins. I'll just use pearlescent Lumiere paints, and save the sequin sewing for another tail.
Well, duh. Why didn't I think of this fluke design before??? This will be the final plan.

Very bright and eye catching ^.^
hey guys, i've been lurking this forum for a while but this is my first actual post so let's hope everything posts correctly! i've got 2 designs i'm trying to decide on for a neoprene/sequin tail i hope to make this summer. they're both the same basic idea, just different color schemes based on which type of sequins i decide to go with [i'm anxiously awaiting updates to melaina's sequin reference thread]. they're sorta... koi/whitemargin unicornfish hybrids with sequin scales and painted flukes??
Attachment 21754
^this one would have white floor matting fringe on the back/sides/fluke. and it would use the larger, round sequins from cartwright, which are my favorite.
Attachment 21755
^and this one would have either white or black floor matting fringe on the fluke, and white/black ombre chainette fringe on the sides/back. it would use the smaller sequins from cartwright
sorry for the long post, let me know if anything didn't post correctly/ should be posted to a different thread! and wonderful work, everyone.
These are stunning I absolutely love them! :) great job!Quote:

Just a few drawings of ideas I've had. The pictures didn't show the colors too well, though. :/

(Oh jeez i hope that photo uploads :p)
I just finished my design and I think its going to be the final one! Chrissy your wonderful videos finally persuaded me into going with MerNation! Now just to save up the rest of the money! Haha!
This isn't a tail design but I have a realistic top design that I would like to make or have a talented artist make it for me :)
