It's just so annoying -_- on top of everything else.... this... so lame. -_-
And yeah, I want to smack that guy. There are too many idiots who make comments like that.
Also, I want to remind people again, I helped them with a FAQ a while back about email response times, and wait times for tails: https://www.facebook.com/notes/merbe...42703012452450
The last comment is funny because email didn't exist until 1993.....Quote:

She hasnt told me yet that it's been resolved :s I'll let you know when I hear something!
Strangle is one of the nicer things I want to do to them... Especially AFTER she JUST LOWERED HER PRICE FOR THE PERFORMANCE TAIL. :headdesk:Quote:

Damn! As my Mammaw used to say, if it ain't one thing, its half a dozen!
Blah, what rotten luck :\ I guess it's better to get this straightened out now rather than later though.
And already people ignore the current clients only request.... Geesh!
Sent an email that hopefully has a lot of what we talked about down. Fins crossed that it works!
Let's gather around the guy in a circle. Flukes up, ready- one, two, three...Quote:

Reminds me of blue raspberry and lemonade. I'm not fond of heel fins much ever but ahhhhh those are so well painted they just match so well. Same with the hip or pelvic fins up top!

I LOVE that tail!! I'm a huge fan of extra fins so I hope there will be photos of the customer underwater so I can see how the fins move!! :D
I really wish I could slap those people. So selfish and rude. Like, because THEY have to send their email that's probably already been answered in the FAQ, now people who actually ARE clients will have their emails swamped under a myriad of BS.Quote:

I so completely envy whoever is going to receive this one. The colors on the flukes.. omg. Another gorgeous Angler design.
I'm in love with the colors on that one!
WOW. Such a unique color scheme.
I hereby decree that tail the toxic OR wicked tail, which ever people like most. Well... not really, but that's what I thought when I first saw it. More of a darker mermaid image. Beautiful, absolutely love it, but ever so slightly evil. Haha.Quote:

I think it's fine to have the same colours, especially if the design's different. You could make your colours more bold maybe, since this one seems to have played them down a bit. More pastel/pale/mellow than vibrant and striking.
I call it the Hulk tail. lol. Raven is great at using the same colours but making them look different ;)
I love that tail! The colors are like.... woah awesome.
I feel like the darker tail look slightly like my design I drew a while back here except without the black.

I mean it was based off of the northern lights so :P I don't think it's copied at all xD Just a good color scheme.
yeah this is a client's rush ordered tail. Not a merbellas created from their head tail :p I personally am not a fan of the stripes. But I think the fluke looks freaking amazing. Almost got that sheen of an oil slick
Anyone have luck getting though to Raven yet? Sent her an email after the fb status was posted and no response. I'm sure she's overwhelmed with email. Just hope she got it. Also where did you find the angler template, Blondie? I want to work on my color scheme.
Go to the FB page and look at the albums...it's in an album called "design your merbella tail"Quote:

Not sure if that's the image they were going for or not.
Same here, the fluke is amazing, but I'm picturing the rest of the tail differently. :) I'm not a fan of stripes or dots most of the time, but on occasion I see some I really like.Quote:

That way you become a paying customer and you don't have to be put at the end of a list of which you do not know the lenght of (or the time it will get to ship) to get a product that you are interested in.
When I ordered my top I did not know I was going to be at the end of a list of tail customers. I assumed the top was not going to be out in 3 mere weeks as the listing said, but I did not expect to be the last one in being taken care of either. A paying customer is a paying customer. I always assumed these kind of businesses operated in a first come, first served basis, no matter the amount you are paying for an article.
I am not bashing. I am saying that many of the issues Raven has have to do with her not talking to and not being clear with her customers.
Thanks, Elle. Apparently you can't look up albums on fb mobile.Quote:

There was a mermaid (I forget her name now, but people have told me it's Nerine the Arctic Mermaid) but she had a really good idea with Jesse to have a kind of split dorsal fin, which stopped either side if the knee to prevent that awkward bend. Personally, I'd never get one, I'm more of a hip fin lover. But each to their own, all of us are individual and it makes all the individual tails so awesome!Quote:
