I'm going to play around with a mini sculpt of some of your fluke designs this weekend, in clay, to see what they'll look like in 3D! I love how this looks so far...I think those dark colors would be outstanding on the back of the tail!Quote:

This tail is going to be epic.
I love those colours, Pearlie! :D
Great! I've already ordered your silicone, the polycarbonate for your fin is on its way, and I'm messing with sculpting miniatures based on your designs. I want to follow them, and also make them look organic.Pigment should be here by Wednesday!:mermaid kiss:
Really, then it's even more epic :DQuote:

I can't wait to dig in! :dance:
The colors of those pigments are absolutely amazing! And that design...:drool: I'm in love with the omega flukes/fins, both luna and nova! Pun aside, this tail is going to look absolutely out of this world upon completion!
Sorry for the crap cell phone pics, but here are some test scales in the cosmos family...they are the new pigments :)

OH MY GOSH THOSE WHITE/CLEAR ONES LOOK INCREDIBLE! lol sorry for freaking, but those beauts really caught my attention
And those lovely purples are stunning. Everything looks amazing, but the purples and whites are my personal favorites :)
They look like moonstones! Oooh a moonstone-colored tail.... I want it.
Love watching this tail saga!
Those scales are so pretty! Loving the sparkles! the finished product is gonna look so cool!
They do look like Moonstone! Beautiful pigments Pearlie :)Quote:

Melaina, I am going to make you a video this weekend to show you how I need you to take your measurements for a perfect custom fit! :yay:
Wow pearlie, you're really doing a lot to make sure this tail is perfect for her. It's another reason I love this thread. Besides your talent,, you really seem to care about the tail and the customer as well
Thank you! I am an artist first, mermaid second, and business person somewhere down the list ;)
I want Melaina to LOVE this tail, to be her absolute favorite tail, and while this might sound egotistical, it's my name going on this tail (figuratively speaking), so it is going to be the absolute best I can possibly make it!
I nearly fainted seeing those scales.
This is my new favourite thread. (although probably very tantalizing as well)
...I started playing the lottery again, wish me luck :p
Good luck! The way I figure it, playing the lottery, the odds are 50/50. You either win or you don't. :D
It's going to be hard to beat my finfolk, but I think you can do it ;)Quote:

Okay, it's less than perfect, but I uploaded an outline of how to make a body mannequin for your tail!

Let me know if you have any questions! :yay:
Whheee! I will get my boyfriend to help me with this as soon as I can buy the stuff :)
Great! So it's pretty easy to figure out, yes? It's so much easier with an assistant!Also, I will need you to make a tracing of your feet, so I can customize your monofin! Let me know if you have questions!
Also, keep track out how much the tape, postage, and stuff cost, so I can deduct it from your shipping costs. :)
Super simple! I will let you know if I have any troubles once I get started :)
Aw, thanks<3 I can't imagine the tape will be very expensive, but I'll see about the shipping.Quote:
