I love the Nova.
The luna omega would be my second choice.

Though, all your designs are beautiful! :)

My vote's for the Luna Omega. It's gorgeous!

Ooooooh! I know which one is my favorite! ;)

I really love the Crystal, the Luna, Neptune and the Sol...gahh, such unique designs!

The nova fluke is so gorgeous! All of them are beautiful designs! I can't wait to see how this tail turns out!

You sleuth you! I'm on my mobile but when I get home tonight I will send it to you. It is really pretty! :)

Thank you everyone! I might do a larger sketch of the favourites so far, with some added fins and accessory ideas.

I can't wait! You are going to make my job easy! Great work!

COSMOS TAIL
Inspiration: opals, mother of pearl, galaxies, crystals
Main colours: mostly cool colours - deep blues, soft violet, teals, pastels, accents of electric blue and gold/silver

This was my first idea for the tail, and probably my most ambitious. I wanted to catch all the colours of galaxies and nebulae, with a bit of the stark beauty and harshness of crystal formations, and in the end make a full costume that is a little other-worldly. I know a couple of other mers - off the top of my head Galene, Selene and Aino - have designed space-themed tails, however loosely, so I don't want to step on any toes here! However, I am confident Pearlie could come up with something fantastically unique! :)

Costume ideas: crystal accents, iridescent fins, pale hair, violet contacts

FAE TAIL
Inspiration: peaches, cherry blossoms, water colours, the sky at dusk
Main colours: pastels! mostly violet & peach, with pink accents & sage green


Pastels aren't usually my thing, but there are some colours I really gravitate towards, especially in this combination; I love the overall look of the delicate violets and rosey pinks, calming greens and soft peaches. For my fae colour scheme, I wanted to lean towards the ethereal and ephemeral.


Costume ideas: wings, pastel hair, decorative blossoms, soft bronze jewellery

CORAL TAIL
Inspiration: pale oceans, coral reefs, seafoam, salmon, overcast skies
Main colours: soft teal, grey-blues, bright coral pink


I really love coral paired with teal. Like, adore it. It feels so mermaidy without being the stereotypical blue or orange (not that there's anything wrong with that ;) ). My ocean/mermaid-themed tumblr is always centred around these colours. I also like that it's a mix of soft & strong colours, so I'd stand out a little more without being over-the-top.


Costume ideas: pearls, coral-inspired jewellery, light fabrics & soft lace accents

L'AUTOMNE TAIL
Inspiration: Mucha, autumn leaves, harvest fruit
Main colours: deep orange, rust, muted reds, creamy peach

I'm an autumn, so this seemed like a natural colour choice :) I wanted to pull the oranges away from the Splash tail, so they're deeper and more muted - almost brown. I would maybe throw some grey-green or olive in there, to break it up a bit!

Costume ideas: russet/deep brown hair, autumn leaves/berries, garlands, bronze & gold accents, earthy accessories

LAGOON TAIL
Inspiration: freshwater fish, toadstools, forests, ponds, kelp
Main colours: deep red, burgundy, muted greens, moss, cream

These are the colours that were originally going to go on my tail from Kanti. I love this colour scheme, but it's a little too close to my current tail's colours, I think. Richer and deeper, definitely, but if I'm spending this much money on something, I want it to be significantly different from what I already have. So, I suppose this is only in here because I like looking at it ;)

Did a rough mock up of the three top designs... As well as a fourth that just sort of happened, haha. I love all of them and I can't choose D:

I do feel that the luna is a bit too regular ol' fish, and not enough spacey-feel. I can always do edits, though. As well as swap around fins and tops and accessories if I feel they'd look better with particular flukes!

Cool fluke designs! Some are even close to my own design in some ways :)

The ones I like are Luna Omega, Terra and Ursa.

Nova and Sailor Omega, although if I did Sailor Omega, it would totally be Sailor Moon color-inspired. And you'd have to have a crystal scepter to go with it too. :P Your designs are freaking awesome.

Luna Omega. I love the side fins and the fluke

I'm voting for Nova!

I like the Luna Omega and Sailor Omega...but its hard to chose, all are gorgeous

Thank you!!!!!

I like Terra and Crystal, as they look different, like robo mermaid!

Played around with some colours on the Luna Omega :)
Nothing too fancy, but I think it's giving me a good feel for the colours!
