Making a H2O just add water mermaid tail
Heyyyy everyone!
Here I wanted to share the process of making my H2O just add water mermaid tail
The tail plan is to make a mold for the fluke and fill it with pigmented silicone.
And for the body I wanted to use neoprene, and paint it. And then glue scales to it with silicone.
So I started off with a mold.
But it broke...
So I bought stronger plaster and tried it again.
This is how it looks like
This time it did work

Then I filled it with colored silicone

And that’s how it looks like now!
The next step is to make the other side and start on the body :)

Here's how I do it.
If in doing a fluke I either buy a bigg piece of paper or two and fold it mid way, I pick the side I'm best at drawing and with the paper folded in half draw one half of the fluke the entire thing the tattered edge the big spines. Then I trace it to the other side. This ensures both fluke halves are perfectly symmetrical and there be no need for ugly edges that look thick.
Hope this helps.

I DID trace it before I sculpted it. I did fold it and I did it on the plastic as well.
But thanks for the help you two :)
(If you don’t believe me here’s proof lol)
