It is! It also happens to be my birth stone. So, fitting, I think :)
My tail is green and... Ehm, I'm not sure how to describe the other colour xD sort of a pastel burgundy out of water, and a much more brilliant burgundy in water. The coral tail is more blue, and the pink colour closer to orange. But, yes, regardless, the cosmos tail will be totally totally different!Quote:

I love the idea of both light and dark colors. It makes for a definite fishy look and gives a great contrast while swimming.
I'm so excited to see what comes out of this! It's going to be lovely!! EEK!
The beauty of the individual scales is that we can have light and dark of all your colors!
Is there a particular fish with markings or patterns you like?
Not really; I like spots, like on salmon, but I'm not sure that would work with so many colours. I feel like the blending and marbling of the colours will be pattern enough. I don't want to go overboard!Quote:

Eeee :D
I had a go at designing some "spacey" looking flukes... I'm partial to the luna and luna omega, the ursa, and the nova, but I want to get some feedback from everyone! I'm not 100% set on any of them.

I think Luna, Luna Omega or Nova would look awesome, but mostly Luna Omega and Nova.
I was trying to think of a name and for some reason the circle made me think of sailor scouts xDQuote:
