OMG, that shark is so adorable! You should totally make a little remora friend. That would look so cute attached to either a tail, top, armband, what have you.

I LOVE that idea!!!
Urgh! In love with everything u make! :swoon:
Whelp, there goes my next paycheck...
Love love love, especially the nudis! If you're looking for more octopus to sculpt, you could try that new octopus that marine biologists are currently studying! Here's a link for some inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv7DfebpL7E
Also, if you're branching out to fish, might I suggest the flamboyant cuttlefish for their amazing colours, and frogfish, cause I personally find them to be so dang cute ><
Thanks, all! Rioraptor, I've already had a request for that octopus, and I actually have a cuttlefish sculpt I'm working on right now! (It's a cephalopod, though, which is a mollusc, not a fish :) ) I thought of frogfish as well, actually. I saw several of them while diving in Panama last year, and I agree they are really cute!
Ohmygosh, ohmygosh, ohmygosh! I can't wait to see the pictures of your new critters! Now I know where I'll be throwing my money at soon :eyebrows:
Dang, totally forgot about cuttlefish not being fish >.< my dive instructor would kill me! :doh::lol: I'll keep an eye on this thread, just in case you go through with the frogfish. They're my absolute favourite animals, aside from the flamboyant cuttlefish and pin-cushion seastars
I have a lot of animals I want to make! One thing at a time, though. I probably won't finish the cuttlefish this week, since I'm in the middle of moving, but next week I'll have my new workshop all set up at our new place!
Ok girl you got me now, like totally... I'm so in love with sharks that I just can't stand this right now, omg.......
Could you do a custom paint for the shark?
Well.....after working heaps the past fortnight, I can see my money swimming out the door :P (once I get paid..though I'll wait till the cuttlefish is finished ^_^)
amazing !! :)
PLEASE make Adorabilis!!!! Cutest thing ever
Merenneito Nerissa, I sent you a message :)
Right now I'm just like...I just want to sculpt and make more animals...but I have to pack and move all the things :P (I'm still taking orders, just probably won't have any new animals finished until after the move is done)
Theo (ha, a nickname!), I couldn't send you one back cause your inbox is full :D
I know, I'm a dweeb, I just cleared it!
Hey guys! I popped on here to write a review of Cyanea's top that we tested on Sunday!
First off, let me say that the thing is so comfortable. There's no pinching, no sticking, and the top is so lightweight! I expected it to be much heavier than it actually is. Swimming in it is a breeze, let me tell you. Never once did I feel like it was going to fall off, and the netting straps in the back held everything securely in place.
I had a friend adjust the neck strap for me and she tugged pretty tightly and everything still held together, no problems at all. Pictures don't do the top justice - the pigments Cyanea used shift colors in the sun. In some lighting, it's a dark purple, and in the sun it shifts from lavender to an almost icy blue. It's fantastic! There are no bubbles in the cast, no untrimmed pieces, nothing. It's an extremely professional-looking casting and painting job. I'd highly recommend one (and wish I could wear it all the time but alas, work dresscode...)

Okay, so, I am the third kelp top tester (mine is the dark green with bronze) and I have to say it is freaking amazing. I could pretty much copy exactly what Octavia said. It doesn't move AT ALL when you're swimming, it is basically weightless in the water, and the colors! My kelp is so much more than just green and bronze. It's like a deep forest shimmering with hidden metals. I love it. It fits superbly and I love the fact that YOU CAN'T SEE THE BRA. She covered every inch of strap for a completely natural look and it's fabulous.
Now, keep in mind that I am a bustier woman and standard seaweed tops would be much too revealing on me. They're just not sculpted large enough. Cyanea's method allows me to be completely covered and modest in any position. No worrying about flashing kiddies!
To sum up, I love my top and I think everyone should have one in their merwardrobe. (Merdrobe?)
This reminds me! I'm not busty in any sense of the word, but the way Cyanea makes these tops, she can accommodate pretty much any size lady. I'm actually kinda flat, despite having C's and run into trouble with tops flying open underwater since I don't "fill them out" as much as someone who is more blessed in the chest, haha. I don't have that problem with Cyanea's tops. They're wonderful!Quote:
