*blushes*
Thank you, Michelle and Vrindavana. That kind of extremely intricate detail, I am looking to dye into the neoprene. Not sure how I want to do it, yet -
Option 1 ) If I want to draw and pattern each individual scale. Issues) Getting a kind of uniform look throughout the tail while remaining true to original vision so it doesn't look like a hodge podge of busy visual crapola.
Option 2) Just do the tail with the intricate deigns how I normally do my art and add "scaling" as more of a texture with silicone that will show up as a subtle scale look without interfering with the visual patterns in the neoprene below.
Then again, I may end up just going eff the whole thing and do both.
That's the problem with having gone to art school - seeing multiple possible angles of approach to a particular project, then just saying "eff it" and, instead of choosing *one*, deciding to do a piece for each approach just to see what will happen and how it'll turn out. This normally ends up being cool, but it's one of several working theories as to why we extremely creative types decide make and do tons of work, but it makes us slightly kooky in the process (as a widepread generalization). Like going "I choose ALL the options!"
