    Yeah, they've been looking into mermaid related stuff on pinterest since August last year. As far as community related stuff that I recognise there are Mermaid Cydney's shell bras and FreshWater Mermaid's leg/thigh scale tattoo.

    So to go from them to find out about Mernetwork and well known tailmakers is not a big stretch. Particularly since the 'company' has only been around since January.

    I'm just saying, some of these are common designs, some are fish, some are direct copies.

    To be fair, the lotus design has been done before, e.g. by Lilium:

    But, yeah, coupled with other designs that have come out recently from tail makers, it doesn't seem like they have many original ideas...

    yes, I've spoken to Lilium about her flower tail designs, but this particular instance there are details that could not have been more blatantly stolen. Now they've disappeared off of Instagram, Facebook, and their website.

    really? Evidently I've been blocked! Screenshots would be greatly appreciated.

    while we are on the subject, some of these designs are actually really cool! I love the shark attack and the bird tails! I'd just like to say some of the ideas are cool and not all tails are unoriginal

    Drat Pearlie, but that goes to show that they're being really rather unprofessional and makes me question them even more.

    Whilst I understand wanting to delete harassing/ unnecessary comments... I think deleting and blocking those who simply point out that YOU COPIED SOMEONE! Is indeed 'unprofessional'.

    I can't even remember what I wrote now. Something like 'wow you did a great job copying Pearlie Mae's/ Lotus Blooming's design'

    On that note how would they even block you from a website?!

    I'm messaging them about it now, and they've been pretty rude. I understand that a lotus flower is present in nature, and yes, it's possible for them to have gotten the idea independently - even as a mermaid tail. But I'm pretty upset.

    None of our comments have been rude. This is why we had to block people from our instagram. Everything was an accusation. You and pearlie came at us very harsh

    We have just signed up to the forum this morning, you can check for yourself PearlieMae

    no way we could have seen that drawing, its not accessible unless you are a member of this com, even then, I would have to dig around for it, I still havent found it, only have an image that was sent to me directly

    I can assure you theredknight100 that we are not out to steal anyones's designs. We are all part of a greater community of creative artists, if there are ever similarties, you can reach out to us directly. We have enough imagination to fill a room and don't need to steal. the Dory fin was a mistake that we owned up to, I had to fire one of my best designers becaouse of that. I also had a long conversation with Abby from FinFolk and we are on good terms. As for the lotus flower design, I KNOW that this is not in anyway inspired from PearlieMAe, because I created it myself

    Can we make a tail maker bitch list? Since they haven't done anything like steal someone's money so they can't be 'black-listed' so we just but them on the Bitch List, which is basically a list for Tail Makers who have no imagination and copy other people's work. Or perhaps a better word could be used in it's place haha.

    As much drama as that would create and the fact that it will likely never happen... Seconded

    I agree. They're just plain rude, too, so sadly, I think they've earned that title. :1

    I'd be more inclined to believe they weren't copying Lotus if they had other flower based designs. A lot of their other tails seem to come in sets or pairs if similar looks.

    wow! although it is a flower and it's possible that they could've come up with it on their own, that was ridiculous and unnecessarily rude! I would have a better time believeing them if it weren't for them getting so defensive and such.
