Merman Marinus SLOW Extended Tail Project

[MerEmma]

It's really cool! I like the jagged edges, very fishy without being overwhelming I think.

[Marinus Mortimer]

Thanks Emma for ur kind words. After I get home from work I'll do a better version of that fluke...

[Marinus Mortimer]

After an EPIC Battle between two polar opposites the make up my brain I've decided to follow Mr. Trident True's advice and go with the simple fluke style for my tail.

Designated fluke shape:
I can almost guarantee that I wont change the fluke shape again as for my old fluke design I may use it in the far future if I ever decide to make another tail but for now im only spooning up what i can eat no need for gluttony...

[Merman Ordep]

Wow your drawings leave me speechless! You're such a good artist! Your fluke looks awesome

[Marinus Mortimer]

Thank you Ordep

[Marinus Mortimer]

So I began sculpting process on the new fluke shape hopefully ill have it done in at least 48hrs.

[Marinus Mortimer]

OK I got four different types of scales but I can't decide on one shape so I'll be needing the opinions of my fellow Mers all types of cemment accepted.

[Merman Ordep]

They all look awesome but I really like the 1st and 3rd scales

[Mermaid Aria]

I like the ones with the 3 points the best

Clay is not very nice today cause it's cold. I'll heat it up, I really want to finish it by tomorrow night.

[Marinus Mortimer]

finished the fluke drawing for the sculpting base.

Progress on fluke sculpt #2...

I'm going to update on the fluke sculpting process on this post for now ( I just don't want to see 7 posts in a row all me) until I start the dorsals and some decorative spines...


These are the measurments for my Extended Tail Fluke.... Hope y'all understand.

[Marinus Mortimer]

I think there too thick....

[Merman Ordep]

^I like the way they look together

[Trident True]

cause your fluke is more realistic than fantasy, i would go with a more plain shape of scale but add detail to it.

this is what i came up with some time ago. they are about 0.1mm thick, looked good once cast in silicone.

I'll be seriously taking that^ into consideration thanks Trident True
And I love those scales by the way!

[AnnaAbyss]

Nice new fluke shape!

[Marinus Mortimer]

^Thanks I'm working on it right now!

[Marinus Mortimer]

Im so happy to say that I'm almost done with the datils on my fluke and I'm solo in love with it, even though it's not the shape I originally intended on using but it's the best shape in the ocean for swimming found on some of the fastest deep ocean fish like the tuna and the sail fish... Also stay toined for my new dorsals coming soon.

[Marinus Mortimer]

I've noticed that I usually sculpt at night time LOL

Experimenting with some spikes to decorate the big ass space on my back side I figured the H2O and Mako tails could've had more done in the dorsal section, so I'm making sure to stand out !
