I got more done today! It's actually past my knees, but it got all bunched up because I had to walk over to get this picture taken :cool:
I'm really excited to get to the fluke part, right now it's just boring because it's the same thing over & over & over, but I think I'll do the backside before the fluke so I don't get all lame and quit before I start the back.

Yay progress! I can't wait to see more! For the back, are you doing it all in one scale color, or will there be a specific pattern?
I think I'm going to just do the same pattern on the back, but without the white, so it just gets to super light pink in the middle. I'm thinking about adding some fins in the back, so it depends on which fins I want :thinks:Quote:

That's kinda what I was thinking, or maybe like a sheer pink fabric! Ah I can't choose.Quote:

Good job.
I have a question about the Tulip: how does it affect the stretch of the fabric?
Also, sheer pink sounds really cool.
I have the fabric stretched out over this board my dad had used over summer while he screen printed some stuff, so once it's dry I let it un stretch sorta, it doesn't go completely back to normal (which is fine because my winter bod is here) [emoji23]Quote:

Gotcha. Cool. I just want to know, because I used watered down acrylic for a tail, once. Destroyed the stretch, but due to lack of a dummy, I wore it while I painted the underbelly, and stuffed it with t-shirts while painting the back. So it fit.
Still, curious for next time. I broke down and bought a finfun to modify, because I don't have a sewing machine, and hand sewing a tail once was ENOUGH, and now it's starting to wear.
ANYWAYS, I want to see about painting in patterns for the sake of realism. Which is moot, given that I went with magenta, but still.
So, thanks for answering!
Like I said, really cool so far. Will definitely be watching your progress here
