Another awesome tail.
I used to dislike pink. I love pink now.
Anyone know who it belongs to?
Oh oh oh, is that the heel finsculpt used as pectoral fins?
Looks like it Yulia!
Ahhh!! These are killing me inside knowing next month is my production month! I feel happy and scared at the same time since I see all these projects here and there and my tail has already slipped couple times to the distance. I will seriously cry if PD is moved again..
I ordered in 4th august last year and I'm getting impatient with my current tail being umh.. not so good (to put it nicely). Desperateeeee, sorry guys :/
I would really need a fin group hug.. *sigh*
Ask and you shall receiveQuote:

I know how you feel, I waited almost 10 months for my tail and I've been waiting almost 6 months for the top now (trying to be patient, but it's proving to be becoming more difficult). You're going to be so happy with production starts. There's no better feeling that receiving that first progress picture. :)
I'm nervous too, I almost don't dare to get to excited because of all the letdowns I've had before.
But it's going to be sooo worth in the end Riiarin! :hug:
I'm so excited to have a Finfolk tail to Scandinavia!
Have you decided anything about the design?
I have been thinking a lot recently. I previously said I might order a third tail from Finfolk in the future, somewhere in 2016. My grandparents have a fund for me that I can use. They even said themselves that I could use it for that. I thought about a iridescent green tail with a design close to a trout fish. But now, I'm thinking about maybe updating my very first tail instead because the one I have is imperfect. Then, the third one would have the same design but without the blended waist, bigger spots, a new dorsal, new pelvic fins, heel fins, the same fluke but with longer streamers and a trainer monofin.
What do you all think? I would love to hear your opinions.
So it would be an entirely new tail Arion? Or just your first tail upgraded/ repainted? If it's a new tail I think something new and different would be amazing, that way you can have three different colours for when the mood strikes you ^_^ not that a new blue tail wouldn't look amazing, because you look great in blue but now I would love to see you in green too!
I'm hesitating actually. I think I would look very good with green considering my pale skin and my blond/ginger hair but Finfolk has grown so much since my first tail. There are some things I would have loved to have on my blue tail that I can make happen now. Like, for example, the rounded scales. It's tough to make a decision.
I think a green tail would look fantastic on you.
Yeah changing scales is a little hard haha. Otherwise you could have maybe sent it back to get touched up. Hmm... You could always have the rounded scales on the green tail but I understand it's not the same.
You definitely have to do what you want to more. I would just love to see you in a green tail so I suppose I'm very bias ;)
Yeah but the experience I've had with my current blue tail make me think that there is room for improvement. The blended waist is not equally painted on both sides, the leaf scales are not perfectly attached (granted, my tail is the first one that got them..), the competitor monofin is heavy and not really comfortable for posing, the pelvic fins are not attached in a clean way, the current dorsal is fragile and can get tears easily if one do not pay attention, and the foot pockets are really tight on my feet.
In spite of all these imperfections, I love my tail and it's holding up very well. I learned a lot thanks to it. I just can't help but thinking that I can achieve a greater look with an updated version.
I don't want to sound completely negative, but maybe wear out the two tails you already have before getting a third. :)
(PS: Are you the merman mentioned? http://www.vice.com/fr/read/la-premi...-francaise-832)
Now, who told me to calm down on the imperfections on my basic tail? �� I don't want to spoil but u have 2 tails already. I know it's your money and u can donwhatever tou like BUT please realize there are people that would do anything just to get a super realistic tail. Still, I adore u with your blue tail. ��Quote:

@pearlie
Yes, that's me :)
Finfolk's newest beauty! (And OMGosh my tail is being started in less than 2 months~)

Wow. The first tail I saw from them was Jessica Pearl's, and I was very impressed - it's beautiful. But they have definitely stepped up their painting skills since then! The color blending in this set is just... delicious. My tail design has a lot of gradients, and I would feel confident that they could pull it off after seeing their most recent tails.
Hey guys. So I've been really bored recently, so I've started working on a Finfolk unboxing playlist because I made a Merbella one so I figured I'd make this a reoccurring thing. However I don't really have that many on the list right now. If you know of any I've missed I'd very much appreciate it if you could point them out to me ^_^

To be fair I did make it very hard for them with how detailed my design was! So they had to keep touching up parts with every coat ;) But I think their blending is by far the best. So seamless and gorgeous!Quote:

Hey y'all! I got to unbox my new tail with my grannie! I am so in love with it! Have a great day! :D
Your tail is gorgeous! Aww the pics are really sweet with your grannie:)

Oh my gosh that is amazing :swoon:
Those are the best pictures ever!
Hey everyone, Finfolk's website is officially up and running!
Quote:
HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!
www.finfolkproductions.com IS FINALLY LIVE! We're still under partial construction (the Shop will have more, just you wait and see!) but we couldn't wait to share this with you! Finally - an easy way to access our FAQ and other information, design a tail, place an order, buy accessories, and scroll through our huge amount of catalogued photos!
The website IS mobile friendly, but the full experience is much better on a laptop or desktop computer. If you notice any glitches, please (kindly) inform us. We've still got a bit of a ways to go (we will be adding measurement chart and tail care info) but we're so excited to HAVE A WEBSITE.
Mahalo and Mer-love,
A&B
Yay!! It looks great :)
https://youtu.be/zKAl4XdUyVo here's a video from the mer meetup at alexander springs! Thought I'd share to this topic so you can see the 4 finfolk tails that were there:)
Has anyone been able to try the tail design center on their new website yet? I tried and it told me: "So sorry but the mermaid tail design center needs a wider screen to use it. It’s simply that amazing. Think of it like water: no mermaid wants to swim in a creek if the ocean is available." The problem is, this is the only computer I have... And I checked the settings but it's already as large a display as it can be. (Unless maybe the tail design center is still under construction?)
My laptop is 13" and when I stretched the browser as wide as I could it fit, for reference for others. I tried it but I found the color adjuster a bit hard to control. :/
It's a gorgeous tail and the pics of you with your Grandma are PRICELESS! You can tell she loves you!!Quote:

hi, not sure if this has already been answered, but how long does it take Finfolk from start (when they pour the silicone) to finish, with a tail?
They quote about 2 weeks once production has begun. It can be shorter or longer depending on the complexity of the tail itself.
Thanks. It'll probably be alot longer for mine. My tails pretty complex
