Oooooo love the color scheme!
Gorgeous
Wow, your scales are so unique and your tail is so bold and colorful. Amazing tail!
I love to embellish things so I had to beautify my "Venus magictail" by adding fins and a long fluke.Attachment 38467

They're actually hand-painted fabric bits, I believe! It's posted in another thread somewhere!
I just started a thread about how I made the fins and longer fluke. I sandwiched plastic between sheer fabric and then hand painted them with acrylic paint. Glad you like them!
Just received my sketch for my silicone tail I will getting soon from Najestic Ent :)

Funny thing is I didn't even make the connection. I just had a few scales and the side fins and my wife says "So you are making a Dory tail?"Quote:

I didn't really document the build. I saw MerQueen Nerissa's tail and did the same scale over powermesh thing (I'm not sure who to properly attribute the method to).Quote:

Her name is Opal. When I get back from vacation I will be making a matching top and figuring out how to get the spikes to not scrunch in on themselves. Strangely enough I have actually worked with spandex spikes before and COMPLETELY FORGOT that they did that. Oh well. To the sea!!

Whats funny is that the tips are fine. They are pulling in at the curve between spikes. And when i full extend one another one of them will shrink up. Ive had this problem with spandex before. I ended up sewing in boning on that one. I will try some stay stitching just at the curves when i am home. Hopefully that does enough. Thanks :3Quote:
