Definitely a groupie, here. Their work is so great they've inspired a lot of art for me. :)
Same here, when I think professional or recreational tails, the first design I think of is one of the more famous ones by FinFolk [emoji175]

I got an update from the twins that they're starting the production of my tail! Still in the early stages, drafting the pattern. I've been waiting until closer to my production to share my design concept so since it's officially starting I can finally post these.

I'm glad they found someone though. <3
New tail posted on the mid social media! Abalone inspired tail! So pretty and I love the double heel fins! Attachment 40621
Also do the pictures look ok or it is SUPER blurry? I'm using my phone and tapatalk app but it looks like my photo attachments look SO BLURRY. Let me know so I'll just upload on desktop

That tail is so awesome! How's your tail coming along? Shouldn't be long before yours is done, right?Quote:

I do love pink but I think a black tail would be good to start with and get a pink tail later. Idk how they'll blend it when painting it but I'll leave it to them! SO EXCITED!!!Quote:

Did you guys see the new fluke? I wonder who will be the first mer to opt for that. Excited to see what else will be rolling out! :)
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Unpopular opinion, but this is the first fluke from them I can actually see myself buying! So I'm trying to decide if the fins flow out like normal heel fins or are molded straight on...
But anyways wow! :D
I'm thinking molded straight on...if they flowed out, they'd be separate. Nice!
They're molded together since they'd use another mold for the actual heel fins. It's the Perth Mermaids new goldfishy tails :)
They're super cute designs!
That abalone one is soooo pretty :swoon:
I can't wait for more pictures ^^
Oh!!! So these are the goldfish flukes! I can't wait to see them fully done! :))Quote:

Part of me wants to do a custom fluke, and this adds to it, but I dislike the idea of the custom fluke fee. It makes perfect sense but then anyone else can use it for "free" afterwards and that just annoys me for some reason, probably cause I'm not good at sharing.
I love this fluke! I posted on my Basecamp to see if I could switch to this fluke. They checked off doing the fluke pours before this was posted so I don't know if it's possible to switch now.Quote:

Also Mermaid Hyli posted photos of some tail repairs she's doing for the twins ^^
*fingers crossed* hope you get it! May I ask what fluke did u originally pick? :)Quote:

Ah yes! Speaking of which, the Perth Mermaids and Merman Arion will be just some of the visiting merfolk appearing at ADEX 2017 which is in Singapore (my lil corner of the world)! It's pretty exciting to see that many of the performing merfolk own Finfolk tails!Quote:

Every time I see a photo of the pink and yellow tail Finfolk made, it reminds me of when I would get a cotton candy swirl Popsicle at lunch in elementary school. So every time I see that tail, I can almost taste that popsicle. That alone makes me love this tail more and more.

It reminds me of these popsicles we have in the freezer cases at Walmart, lol. They are cherry and pineapple. I haven't tried one yet and don't remember what they're called (maybe Big Stick or something?) but they look yummy and in my messed up mind so does the tail 😂Quote:

I like how the love in the air Lion King song tail reminds us of food.
Also aren't they all so adorable in their new photo:

I can't wait to see them all in their tails. <3 It's going to be so amazing!
Anyone eye the new paint job on the Mythic tail silicone flukes?!? I hope the can do it on full silicone tails!!!!! That type of effect is exactly what I want but not in gold. I'm screaming at the gorgeousness of it!

The iridescent scales! I saw those! Soooo pretty

Yes me too! It's actually what I posted on my Basecamp for tail design. I hope it works out! Badkidbebe, I saw from an Insta comment that your tail is up next! Yay! [emoji16]Quote:

The new Mythic line is astoundingly beautiful. I asked the same question about this effect for full silicone tails on base camp when they first added me as a customer. Fingers crossed there will be options. Still have no idea where I am in terms of production though! Probably right near the end of this year? I'm trying (failing) to contain myself.
