You got it! That is an amazing picture! The bodypaint reminds me of Hannah Mermaid's tiger shark video. :)Quote:

Hmmm Lotus, you think you could do something with my tail design? I'm rethinking the side fins, which I originally though of as being similar to the dorsal, just starting on the hip and wrapping around the back.
My idea was to have colors that match my tattoo, but still have it look predatory. Like a hawk if it were tropical?
Also I have no idea what to do with the fluke. I really like the long one by mertailor, the calypso by finfolk, and the newest one by Raven that Raina got for mega rapidash

Thanks to Lotus Blooming for drawing my dream tail too! Though till I can save money I don't want to share it as it is so unique I don't want the design stolen.
But thanks a ton I love my design!
Of course!Quote:

Thanks now its just getting the savings together to get it hehe :) Sure it will work out :) Thanks again!
Frankly, I would consider it an honor if someone wants something similar to mine. It just means we're mermaids of the same family!
Yes you are right Mermaid Celeste I wouldn't be offended if someone wanted similar I just don't to share it till I am getting it made as then I don't mind if someone has something similar I would just be devastated if someone took my dream tail before I could get it made so I will share it when I am actually getting it made rather than before then if someone wants to do something similar they can it doesn't phase me then! But I may have many years of saving yet (hopefully not) So I don't want to risk my dream tail being taken in that time :)
Hey, all! If you've already requested a tail design from me, don't worry about this post!
But because I have gotten so many requests and only have so much time, I will sadly have to start charging a small fee for my designs! If you would like my help designing your dream tail, I will be happy to do so! Here is the link to my Etsy listing!
Thank you all for having me be a part of your designing process! I love you all! :) <3
Sent you a friend invite lotus blooming and you so deserve that your tail designs are amazing :) I am so grateful for my tail design I am so in love with it can't wait to get the money saved to get the tail :) Thanks again :)

My next fabric tail is Stonefish or Blue Ringed Octopus.
My dream tail design

I started making it myself....but I ran out of money :( I sculpted the fluke and scales and shell-shocked the fluke and then the project came to a standstill.

Its not exactly the best tail design ever, but here it is. I was inspire by flounder from the little mermaid.

Okay, guys! I have an announcement and a question for all of my mer brothers and sisters! :)
I'm planning on becoming a tailmaker, starting in April/May. I'll start by making one for a friend of mine and if all goes well, I'll create an Etsy listing in my shop and post the URL here and in my own tailmaking thread in the appropriate forum. I'm planning on using some of the funds from the tails I sell to pay for my husband's and my plane tickets to Japan for a mission trip we're going on this summer. :)
My question is: If I was to start making them and they actually turned out pretty decently, would you purchase a tail from me? I want to know if I'll have any potential customers. No commitment required, I won't bother you about it. Just curious as to how high the demand is for tails. I'm pretty sure I'll be charging around $2500 for an average and/or custom tail, not including shipping (since I know a lot of mers are outside of the U.S. so it might cost more than I can afford). Does that sound like a good deal? Please, let me know your opinions! I know it won't be as amazing as a Pearlie tail, but it could be a good starter! <3
