I'm so mesmerized by the new iridescent mythic! I've been searching for a color shift gold for my tail project but they mainly shift golds to pinks. That shift from gold to white is exactly what I want!

The new Mythic tease looks so amazing that I'm starting to consider getting one despite some of the reservations I have about them. They're expected to ship around my production month though so we'll see. I sort of need a new phone first and I'd rather wait for them to roll out more kinks :)
I can't wait to see your tail bebe! (sorry I don't remember your full username)
Sidenote from Finfolk but Mermaid Hyli recently posted the sculpt for my top! We're both so excited for it :yay::dance::swoon:
I saw the top! Its very nice and intricate! [emoji846]Quote:

I know everyone's raving about the new pigment color changes, but I'm not sure if I'd want that on my tail, mostly because I still don't have a clear design yet. i only have bits and pieces of it, but it is sort of coming along? I'm honestly glad I have the wait so I can sort out what I really want on it x)
It was originally last Nov. I have yet to hear back from the twins about a confirmed production month however the Body Pour was ticked off from the To-do list in Mar 22.Quote:

The twins are super talented so it's definitely comforting to know they'll turn our ideas and vision into awesome works of art. My concern for my design are the placement of the side fins. Have you decided on a fluke?Quote:

Now I'm re-debating about new Calypso (which grew on me) or custom. :doh:
I like pocket fins for mine. What's the issue of yours? Just worried about pulling them out?
Ah ic. The Calypso is a great choice though! It's hard when spoilt for choice!Quote:

Decisions, decisions!

I suppose it would it would depend on the shape. :) Really hard choices here xDQuote:

That's so amazing!
I like how their fins match their heel fins, the uniformity just pulls it all together in my opinion. Their new tails are just going to be so beautiful <3
I'm glad they had one merman at least, we need more mermen.
So jelly :jelly:
Yes yes yes!!!! I'm actually so glad I wait this long bc their talent has grown and I also asked if they can do iridescent color changing paint on my tail! I know they did it on the Mythic tail fluke so I hope it can be done on a full silicone tail!Quote:

I tried to get a mtyhic, logged on at 11am my time, and at 11:03 when I was checking out, it was declined because they were sold out. I back tracked and tried to grab another color- sold out lol. they sold out of all their regular sizes in under 10 minutes.
Congrats! That was my favorite of the bunch :)Quote:

May not be worth it business wise for me by then.
Oh that's a bummer. I would be worried about using those tails as dry events though cause of the scales. Maybe if someone gets the wrong size, you might be able to score one of those? <3Quote:

It is however I asked them a few months ago that I wanted it all black and pearl/Iridescent tho so they're repainting it. But the paint is stunning!!!!!!!!! I absolutely love the black part! I just want the whole tail like that with highlights. Black suits me more than pink. 🖤🖤🖤Quote:

Also Jake, how's yours coming along? Yours was in the same block right?
Sidenote for the both of you, but when did they really start contacting you and get rolling with the tail? Like how many months before your projected month?
My original production month was scheduled for October 2016. I never really got an official update as to a new production time after that so as far as how many months before the projected month, I can't really answer but they posted that they started production in the middle of March. So far they've checked a few things off the to-do list (creating the pattern, fluke pours, body pours). It's been a long wait but I'm sure it will be worth it! Their work is so good and it's only gotten better since I first ordered.Quote:

Jake, I'm sure yours is right behind mine!!! so excited to see new tails!!!
Whose tail is this?! They just posted it! I haven't seen dragon scales in a long time!!! [emoji172][emoji172][emoji172]

Omg I didn't even know those scales were an option! They're beautiful!
Wow, those scales are gorgeous! I've never seen them before. Are you sure they aren't new? And that is also a new fluke design, if I'm not mistaken?
It's an old scale mold but not forgotten! A full shot of Mermaid Káshara's tail at the top with a close up at the bottom left pic. The bottom right is another close up but I can't find a pic of the full tail for that one Or it could be bracers. I'm so happy someone requested those scales!

OMG congrats guys!
Yeah they've used those dragon scales maybe three times? The two tails just pictured above, as well as Arion's blue one I believe.
@MermaidHunter Loving the custom fluke!
