I'm almost kinda sad no unboxing for mine since I was local.....it sort of feels like having a birthday, but without the party part maybe? :/

I was thinking the same thing, Mika. Maybe when I pick up mine I'll do a video of it in my minivan in lieu of an unboxing vid, lol.
Maressa, I ordered mine in mid-June. I have no idea how many orders are ahead of me! My tail design is buried in this thread in post #680-something. It's an aurora borealis tail. I think I'll have them do slightly different fins, though.
I was going to get the Loreena fluke, but upon further consideration after seeing some of their recent tails, I think I'll go with a betta fluke instead. here's my updated design:

You still can make videos of you swimming. It's as entertaining as an unboxing video :)Quote:

Not sure how many are ahead of you either, but I put mine in right at the beginning of June so maybe our tails will start together! :)
You're right Arion, the red was too pronounced in my design. Thanks for pointing that out! I was going for the look of this aurora pic:

Here's an updated design. I think it's better:

I added two slightly larger comets, which I'm calling Comet Galene and Comet Zephyr, named after my dearly departed seahorse who inspired my name, and her widower.
Maressa, we're getting close! Whee!
Nice! Personally, I would have reversed the direction of the comets to flow in a more hydrodynamic direction.
Sneak peek close up of my tail <3

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Crystal your colors are BEAUTIFUL.
Fintastic!
Galene, it's gonna be awesome! I would make sure to send them copies
of your reference pics too. Those girls are artists!
It's gorgeous! :o !!
lovely
I'm kind of tempted to buy a second tail from them... I'm just saying :p
Yes, I'll certainly do that, Wesley. Pearlie, I did the back with the comets facing upward, but I like them better going the other direction on the front. Here's the back:

Ohhhh Galene, that tail will be gorgeous! Love the idea/design.
Yours is fabulous too, Crystal!
Being an astronomy nerd, I'm IN LOVE with your design Galene! :D It's so unique and original for a tail! Also love the comet on the back ;)
Can't wait to see how the girls bring it to life.
Thanks! Yes, that's Comet Galene. ;) This design is going to be a lot of work for Bryn and and Abby, but I know they'll kill it!
