Haha, I'm curious to see what would happen if you did enter one!
Those are good reasons for stripes... I have some time at least before the coloring. :3

I absolutely love the stripes! This is going to be wonderful following your progress!
Oh, thank you Marla! I might just end up keeping these stripes in the end afterall. XD

I Believe
Haha, thanks!
I promise I'm working away over here, I jst don't have much to show for it at the moment. That, and I'm starting my next semester of college, so things have been a little crazy around here. I'll try and have something new up soon though!

Just a quick update on everything. I've started my spring semester of college, so I won't have as much time on here as I did over the break, but I'm still working away on my tail.
Here's the first dorsal fin. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to make the second, lower dorsal fin, so I'm going to start on the fluke instead.
The shiny metal thing is a quarter for size reference. :P (I apologize for the bad picture quality. The site won't let me attach images over 19.5kb...)

Holy crap! That thing is huge! Very nice! Can't wait to see your fluke!
If you want to get a better quality photo on here. Just post the photo externally on a server or facebook and then " insert image" from "url". Unclick the box that is cheked and it will just pull it from the website that you have it on.
Thank you doubly Star! I'll see if I can't fix up those photos now. :3
And yes, it is huge! I'm going for a bit of a Betta Fish look though, so I thought I might as well go big. XD

Here is the final color design for the ventral side of the tail. I've yet to color the final for the dorsal, but I'll get to that later tonight. :3 I realize the design has changed a good deal, but I just couldn't get comfortable with the last color scheme. And, in case you are interested, the blue in this picture was originally a lot more of a royal blue along the edges. I promise the whole picture is actually a lot darker and the yellow should be much more gold. Think jewel tones.

Wow I'll bet those colors will look gorgeous
Mermaid Jewel
Thanks Jewel! I'm sure hoping they work.
Here is the other picture I promised for the night. You now have both ventral and dorsal views. :P
The fins are hard to see in the next photo, so I gave the blank that I drew as a reference to fin shape.
I apologize for the smudgy pencil look. My blue started acting really funny on me.
Enjoy!

Nice, good luck with it!
Your imagination is your only limit
The combination of shape, colour and complicated fins really makes this a unique design.
Done well, fins really add something special to a tail.
Wow - if you can make that tail come to life that would so amazing! I really love the dorsal fins! Looking forward to seeing your creation emerge!
That would look good on anyone.

Thank you all!
I've always been a huge fan of intricate (if not realistic) fins. They're sure taking their time getting clayed out, though. XD
Haha, thanks Alveric. It sure would.
I'm doing my best Marla! If all goes well, I should have my first tail in a few months. :3
