Was that tail based on a specific fish? Looks like the colors of a fairy wrasse or something. Can't wait to see a picture of the whole thing, it looks like it has really cool side fins!

What aquarium is this at?
Oh hey, I'm good ;) It looks great, Cora! So jealous of you guys! I'm really glad you're on the forum now, though!
Flyer, it's at Reef HQ Aquarium, the aquarium of the Great Barrier Reef! I used to volunteer there while I was in grad school, and Cora works there. Here's the website: http://www.reefhq.com.au/
There's a full photo of Magentas tail on the finfolk Facebook page, posted about two months ago :) I'd link it but I'm on my phone and not sure how.
Boop. I think it is stunning <3

I remember!
For my second tail, I intend to ask for these scales.
My first has the leaf ones. :)
Is there a video of her swimming yet? I would love to see it.Quote:

I actually requested your scales on my tail Arion, but they left the scale sheet in MN :P I love your slender scales!
They did?? :jawdrop:Quote:

They haven't started on my tail at all :-( last time I talked to them they were going to bring it to Merfest with them, but that was about a month ago and I guess they got too busy finishing the other tails. I must have mine by jan 20 though, so I told them to do whatever they needed with the scales. My tail has two new custom sculpts on it which I think will be great additions to their line!
By JAN 20 ?! Boy, I hope they do it right now once they get back :)Quote:

Can you tell us some hints? ;)
Me too, I have faith In them and I'm trying not to stress, lol. And sure! I'm not very guarded about my design, it's based on a fish so if other mermaids like it then I think it'd be fun to have similar tails. I'm getting larger verigated stomach scales, and new ankle fins that will have long flowing tendrils! Attachment 26324Attachment 26325
I remember now! It's very unique!
Suppose they don't have time to make a new scale sheet (unless Allie took it from MN with her to Merfest...), would that be a terrible thing to have different scales from the ones you wanted originally?
No, I told them to just go ahead and do the original basic ones :) I do really love yours. I'm mainly worried about my insane paint job... I feel kinda bad that it's so intense lol, it's one of the more difficult they will have had yet to do, I think Magenta's and the mandarin tail are the only ones so far with intricate paint jobs. I have spots, stripes, and about 15 colors... Poor girls! Ack! It'll be so worth it though!!!
Found another great picture of the butterfly tail and Allie is there too :)

Mine had a very intricate paint job. Spots, stripes and speckles. I think it drove the poor girls mad because they had to keep touching it up. But they got there in the end and it is amazing! I'm sure yours will be amazing too Maressa! I let them take some artistic licence with it and I am glad I did.
That picture is adorbs :D your tail is beautiful, Jessica :) thanks for the reassurance!
Is that Twig in the fairy tail?
