So I'm ordering a Fish Butts tail today, and I drew up this design in class...

It was originally going to be cherry blossom based, but that was too simple, so I added the stripes. Layout complimentary of Koral. Do you guys like it?

ah, It's just lovely! can't wait to see it!!!!!
Very cute. Cherry Blossom you say?
I say, put some brown into the very tip of the tail on the fluke's trim, and have the brown go up the fluke like spines, give them a branch look, and make the fuchsia look like splotchy blossoms. Towards the "top of the tree" they could look as though the wind is blowing at the top of the tree causing a spread of petals up the tail. A tail of art, surely!
Hard to explain, but the petals are doing this, essentially:

Lotus: Neither can I!!!
Koral: I LOVE your idea, but I sent my design before I saw your post. Meh.

Looks great merana! I love the way the blue and green go together.
What beautiful tails!
Thank you Courtney! I've always loved your tail
Its the "Upcoming FishButt thread :) "
Stevi's currently making my new tail, ill give you guys a sneak peek of the drawing itll be aqua and purple, BUT i did leave out a detail or two, for that your going to have to wait to see the finished product ;) .
Lanai, I absolutely love the fluke! It's a lot like the fluke I'm trying to go for with my tail designs. The light aqua and the purple look so well together as well. :)
I ordered my Fish butt today too! I'm sooo excited!
I love big Flukes along with the long Fluke tips, its a design i use regularly, I might remake my blue tail with the Similar design i posted above. I went with the Aqua/Lavender/Purple look because i wanted to seem as if my tail is changing, if you look at my blue tail you see the dark blue on my waist and tips, which are curled. So with the evolution of the tail, waist and tips are changing to lavender/purple, the tips have uncurled for a straighter, sleeker look..lol thats how my mind works..Quote:

i plan on ordering another fish butt once i save up the money. im just going to send her my oceanika from my latex/neoprene fish butt, hahaha.
i drew up a design i think i want, its the one in my signature (which will hopefully show up, i just put it in, so... oh, and im also having my name changed FINALLY to Mermaid Annariea :D). the base is courtesy of the wonderful Koral.
my design just sort of... happened, so it might change, but i REALLY love how it looks right now.
^LOL that happens to me it will always change, heck it took 6 months for me to design my first tail, just when you think you have it, something else catches your attention, then your left with endless tail color patterns and drawings. which is kinda how i ended up with the one above, I Merged two tail colored i loved and "Poof" Final Tail design.
Thanks!Quote:

SO MANY PRETTY TAILS IM SOOOO JELLY. my mum won't let me get one until april, so it will come in may when pools open here :(( ITS TOO DAMN COLD HERE
OH OH!
Stevi sent me these a bit before thanksgiving, right after she finished the paint job. :) I've given her a lot of time to work on it, because I haven't been in a hurry, and I know that other people usually are. I don't want to add stress to her work day.

Love it Dot! Is that silicone or latex?
latex. I'll be able to upgrade to partial silicone later, though. :)
Hint- What do fish have?Quote:

I think the answer to Mermaid Lanai's hint is "gills"

having silicone gills made as a accessory piece, like for the neck or rib area could be a cool idea if you are going for a hyper realistic look...the silicone could even be left long enough to move as you move through the water, so they look functional.
Pleh. My mom forgot to order my tail!:( Now Stevi is not taking orders and I will have to pay more.
merana its ok she said shes doing another sail soon! hopefully it will be an easter sale (that would be PERFECT TIMING) im sooo jelly of everyone elses tails!!!!
Thanks! Im sure she will have another sale.Quote:

I can't wait to see all these tails!! Wish I was able to have gotten mine ordered. *looks at mom annoyed*
How would you keep them on? I've heard spirit gum, but I've always had that come off of my skin easily. Then again, parts of my skin are super oily.Quote:
