Thanks Lotus! Alien is like my favourite franchise and I just had to turn it into a tail. This one definitely isn't for kids parties though! :)
This thread seems like it kind of died but I wanted to post my design anyway :) the fluke is inspired by Merbellas angler fluke http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...8cbf992ebf.jpg

That looks really good! Love the symbol along the middle ^w^Quote:

Oh. I thought it was meant to be the horde logo from World of Warcraft.
It looks fantastic!! If you want, you could make it even more flame-like with some splashes of yellow and orange (if you like those colors, that is)! I can't wait to see it come to life! Do you already have a tailmaker in mind? :)
Thanks! I love all different shades of yellow and red and orange and maybe blue at the very tips? Hmm I gotta draw that one. In a perfect world I would absolutely love to get it made by merbella studios but I can't afford them, so I think I'm going to make it. Silicone seems a bit daunting I was thinking about latex but I heard somewhere that full latex tails Weren't safe for the environment or something. So I'm debating wether to make it or not

Oooh!! That color scheme sounds amazing!! I can't wait to see what you do with it!! If you would like to make your own, I recommend splurging on silicone. It's more durable than latex, as far as I've heard, so it's worth it in the end! That's just my two cents, though. I know the struggle with trying to get a tail, but not having the cash to shell out all at once! That's why I'm so grateful for PearlieMae. She's so talented and generous because she offers 6 AND 12 month payment plans!! I couldn't be happier. If you need any help with the design process, feel free to message me! <3Quote:

i always wanted a triba tail that transition from the outer color to the inner color like the feathers in the movie "surfs up"

Fun123joker yassss!! That would be awesome!! It's some new inspiration :) I would love to make my own tail. I live in New England so silicone shouldn't have a problem curing, now it's just the problem of convincing my mom it's a good idea....

I was actually working on another sketch of the tail too http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...4f32e67425.jpg

I made two designs today;
Attachment 28199Attachment 28200
First one is based off Mermaid Lily's avatar; the second is based off the lantern scene from Tangled :) I tried to draw it but it kind of... sucked. ._.
These were actually the first designs I did on my laptop - every other one has been a sketch :)
Loving the Tangled tail!
yeah i love the tangled tail too!
Thanks! Took me a while to figure out how to make it all come together :)
The tangled tail is such a great idea! It's very nice

Thanks! ;)
Wow un-blended pastel is super pretty! I think I may come back to this because I like the idea...The outline is nice and could be better with some more tweaks...I suppose my main focus was aesthetic appeal...I could draw this again
Attachment 28222Attachment 28223
WOW!
REALLY in love with those colors! Seriously, green/pink/blue is beautiful together.Quote:

Im having some issues with the fluke shape I want and Im not sure about the shape of the patches on the tail so any suggestions are welcome =^.^=
How about something like this? The purple came out a little brighter here compared to your drawing, but that can be changed ofcourse.Quote:

This is the design I drew up for my partial silicone Mertailor tail! They posted a picture of my completed tail on Facebook yesterday, AND I LOOOOOOOVE IT!!!!!!!! :swoon: My tail is in the mail right now and I hope to have it by the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Attachment 28489
My boyfriend made a template for merbella's butterfly fish tail. I believe that is what it is called. Anyway feel free to use :D
Attachment 28655
I like this design that my bf made just a few more tweaks and I think I will have my dream tail :D
Attachment 28656
THANK YOU for that template! I was just looking to figure out what it was called and couldn't find it anywhere!! Beautiful design btw :)
I've decided what inspiration will be for my next tail! It will probably be another year (maybe less) before I put down a deposit for another one by finfolk since I'll be having fins added to my current one soon, but I just wanted you guys to see what my next one will be inspired by!http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...1b1170dc8f.jpg
OMG! that's one of my favorite fish!!

A quick (very rough) sketch of my dream tail! The spot pattern is based off a poison dart frog. Apologizes for the horrible quality. I'm saving up to get it made by Mernation!
^Love those spots!
Thanks Aziara! Disclaimer: Mermaid Dottie is the one who inspired me to even consider dots! Her tail is gorgeous!
LOVE it! It'd be pretty in blue but I've always been partial to orange and gold. GORGEOUS!Quote:

One of the many different tail designs that I have come up with. This one was inspired by fairy wings. I was thinking some nice blues, dark purples and greens would be a good color coordination, but haven't found the colors I want to use yet. Then again haven't really be looking since this isn't the current tail design that I'm working on to get made.
