Lol, sqwauk like little hen~fish. I could imagine mermaids in a group going "mine". like the gulls in finding nemo :lol:
Lol, that. ^
Hi, I'm a newbie on the mernetwork (officially), but i was reading the forums, especially this one, before i created an account. Anyways, I'm planning to order sometime this year a tail from raven and i have my heart set on the she creature fluke. even if it isnt a permanent thing, im ready to pay for it as a "custom". so here's the thing: i can't find an outline of the Merbella "she creature" tail/fluke... i want that fluke but i cant find an outline of it anywhere so i could design the color scheme over it :( it's so beautiful. does anybody know where i can find it? or if someone can even make an outline of it?
They don't offer the she creature fluke as an option officially. So I wouldn't get my hopes up about getting one. I know last time I spoke to them Tyler said he'd finally finished making all the fluke shapes in Photoshop for when people design their tails. I'll make sure to remind them about posting them next time we talk though. But yeah I believe 'officially' they don't offer the she creature fluke but unofficially it has gone into at least 2 client's tails that I've seen apart from the original she creature tail. So it won't be a certain thing if you ask that they'll say yes.

aww, it's so beautiful though..it should be permanent/official. But it would be good to see the updated outlines of the tails and flukes. but do you think that since they do offer custom flukes that they charge extra for, they might accept/consider mine as custom? i figured since any custom design would need an entire new mold made especially for it, it shouldn't be a problem if i was going for the she creature.. but ill try and consider other options for a fluke
we only got it because we bought it used from her but I gotta say we barely use it because the fluke is massive, very floaty, no kick, and half my girls drown when they put it on. I really wouldnt recommend it to anyone who isn't already skilled honestly. It's too heavy for most photoshoots for us takes a team of at least 2 to help move a mermaid and get her situated when she wears it. It also takes up a huge amount of space in the pools when we do parties, you cant fin slap it or lift it.
Don't get me wrong, I love it and it's a special tail. One of my favs honestly. It's just not practical for a lot of things. For us it's good because it's not a MAIN tail we use it as a back up or extra.
It's easier to model in the water with it and take photos above. Because it floats so well.
Here's a video of me taking photos of Iona in it

here's behind the scenes of me doing an underwater photoshoot with it and you can see how floaty it is

I actually LOVE the massive look, but its a bummer when it comes to functionality, I guess. I would probably be swimming in our pool most of the time. Yyou look really beautiful in it, Raina. The flow is really something I haven't seen in other tails.. guess we can't get everything we want in one, right? Give up some to get some..but nonetheless, it is one of the most aesthetically beautiful designs by far:swoon:.
really appreciate your input. very informative.:)
I'll have to really think about this..
Dearest Mer-friends,
I've been keeping this mostly secret, and now I'm so happy to share my news! I'm officially a part of the Merbella family!!! I'm so thankful to Raven for putting this masterpiece up for sale a couple months ago!

I was wondering, have you tried weight belts to counteract the float? would that work?Quote:

She doesn't always give scale hearts and this was bought used. Shouldn't assume gifts/freebies ;) Raven gives them out occasionally under specific circumstancesQuote:

Yup. 60lbs didn't do it. This is a floaty tail, plus I float, plus salt waterQuote:

oh my!! 60?? hah, and here i was thinking maybe 10 would do it (as a guess, i haven't tried weights before). That's a bummer! On the bright side, pervents you from drowningQuote:

Pencil art by Jack Henslee. Most of his art is women and fantasy, and most of them are not as safe for the forum as this without putting up a warning for the childrens. ;)
That whole double image post thing is so weird... as I post a third time to express that. XD
Madison, that tail looks perfect on you! Congrats! And i love your demon cat :P
Sorry if i'm asking at the wrong place, but i can't seem to find a message option to send things directly, but you are the most experienced and informative person when it comes to tails. How would the she creature compare to the Kai fluke (not sure if that's the name of your newest orange/black tail)? they seem to flow and move in the water pretty similarly, so i was wondering how are the kick and float factors similar/different.Quote:

Thanks again :)
Thank you all for your sweet comments!
And yes, my little kitty is quite the ham...And the naughtiest creature I've ever met! He's lucky he's so darn cute!
I had no idea this video existed! Gosh, I fidget a lot hu? :PQuote:

It's fine for pool and party work but if you're looking at open ocean or anywhere with a current then you'd want the competitor, which makes it less floaty/ flowy/ heavy.Quote:
