I just ordered new fabric for next Summer's tail! It will be a Merfin Tail with proper stripey fluke and fins.

Thanks CheshireKat! I decided I would buy the fabric this time instead of waiting for a sale... Totally missed out on that other scaled fabric the last time, as I waited too long and then, *poof* no longer on the website!Quote:

Fins and fluke are (aimed to be) translucent towards the ends.
😍😍😍😍😍

Awww thanks Neri! (PS love your name, it was in one of my fav tv shows as a kid. Ocean Girl! That's the one.)
I still need to watch that! Its also the name of the spirit of wisdom in Zelda phantom hourglass, and it means ocean spiritQuote:

My Little Pony tails. Celaeno you are a GENIUS. You could literally be a sea-pony! And my inner five year old just over-dosed on happiness. Maybe I can make my main tail and a my little pony tail in time for Con-Nooga...

Oh my god...I have been thinking of making a Fluttershy or Princess Luna tail for so long! So cool how other people have the same ideas! (Not surprising, though! I knew there were fans of MLP here!)
So if you make a pony themed mermaid tail... Would that make you a Sea pony?
A Princess Luna tail would be amazing!!!
And yes, I think it would make you a sea pony. :D
Rarity and Nightmare Moon/Luna are my faves of the new MLP, but I also love some of the classics like Moonshimmer and Firefly...

Quick sketch of a set of leg fins idea I have. Similar to some silicone arm fins. Sorry about the quality, bad tablet pic.
Wow, these are some really nice designs! here's one of mine I had designed a little while ago; hope to bring it to life one day!

So, I drew my dream tail! (The green+gold one) The green + purple one is supposed to be based off of Spike the Dragon, from the new My Little Pony, but somewhere the little swirly things were added, so... The green+ gold tail design belongs to me, PLEASE don't use it! You're free to use the Spike one, though. Tell me if you make, so I can see pics!
Hold on... I can't resize the images...let me see what else I can do...
EDIT: I got it!

Gah! Sorry for the huge pictures!!!
Where did some of you get those design stencils? And what did you use to color them?
A friend of mine, who is a talented artist, drew a mer-version of our favorite Disney character quite a while ago, and I would really like to make a tail inspired by it. I'll post a design of it soon!
I didn't use design stencils, but I could try and make a stencil from the green+ gold tail for people to use! Can't wait to see what you come up with from your friend's drawing!Quote:

For the superhero tails I made I was using Merbella's templates from their Facebook page. For my tail I drew it myself but I've been thinking of making a template to share if anyone is interested.Quote:

I also designed a tail inspired by a different character, but I don't think I am going to make that one. I could show you how I got the idea, though. (I am really tired of resizing images at the moment)
https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...6-MX6MqXraNDhz I'm new to this, can somebody do a drawing based off of this fish? I really love this fish and want to see other designs; there is black on the fish too. :D
I could have a shot at that tonight if you wanted. :) I can't guarantee I'll get to though- I have lots of homework :(
Awh, thank you! ;) I really didn't think anybody would do it for me :p And if you can't that's okay, I'm working on it myself also. I just wanted to see other opinions:)Quote:

Yulia, you're so sweet! Thanks for the shout-out!! (^.^) <3Quote:

That's a cool design ShyKaiju . Definitely like the color scheme.
Thank you :D
I love muted color schemes with a dash of high contrasting color, and also trying to find colors that don't clash horribly with my pale skin ;0;
Omg, flawless. I love that your name is ShyKaiju, and I love your profile and design, just. Omg. XD So much love. <3Quote:
