Worth a shot :) I'll tell you if it works out
I've been really busy with exams, but now that they're over, I have more time to work on my first tail! I worked for an hour and a half and finished the scales on half of it and I think they look pretty cool :D Attachment 30177Attachment 30178
Oh! I forgot to mention that when I counted them, (I dunno why I wanted to, but I did lol) there are 600 scales on the first side :D LOTS OF PAINTING
OOO! Are you going to add more highlights? Other than that, its looking super!
Thankyou! It actually has *light* highlights on each scale, that's how I know how many there are lol. But it actually looks pretty highlighted in person, cameras don't show it haha
This is what it looks like unpainted (side I haven't done yet)
one side of the fluke is done! As I said, cameras just don't show the colors right - it's got dark/light blue, light purple and white
I added more white onto the fluke, as the spandex absorbs light colours really easily :P I also finished the little pectoral fins
I love that you added a few scales on the little fins! Nice touch!
Haha thankyou :) that's so when I sew them on, they blend a bit nicer :)
painting scales is addictive! Haha :) I've almost finished the outlines for all of the scales on the front side now :)
Done! Outlines are finished :) I have to wrap up for the night lol. This mermaid needs to get some Z's
admin- would it be possible to re-name this thread 'The making of my first tail' and move it to the 'tail making' thread please? Thankyou :mermaid kiss:
Second side of the fluke is done! And the shading on the scales too :D I still have to highlight the scales and fix some of them up, test my monofin extension (duct tape+zip ties) for waterproof-ness, iron the tail and fins (to heat set the paint) and sew on some flowy material... Whew!
Love the scales and colour choice!!!
The admins may not see the post, but if you 'report' said post and ask they will see it and could change it then.
Thankyou :D
I had that thought too, but reporting is only supposed to be used for real issues? Maybe I could ask one of the new mods :)
I had just read what an admin wrote once. .but now there are mods that would be the same :P
