    Aww, here was hoping I'd discovered some exciting new lore from the Great Lakes
    Why are there no ghost mermaids? There totally should be!

    If you're making such a tail, I'd love to see it!

    Here's the general design for my first tail, made of fabric found around the house. The dorsal fin will be much smaller, as I have limited fabric/ample dorsal area. I'm debating as to whether glow-in-the-dark fabric paint on stretch velvet is a good idea...

    I've never had much luck painting on velvet. I imagine stretch would be even worse to handle.... Maybe you can paint the glow-in-the-dark stuff on sequins and then tack then down to the velvet after?

    I was thinking of adding some sequins when i can get some, I thought it would look spectacular with some sequin scales scattered here and there! As for the paint, I was mostly thinking of paint along the side seams. Maybe side fringe + paint, since it won't need to stretch as much? I've never painted fabric before -_-;

    This is the design for my tail I've been working on- not quite there yet, but it's getting close to what I want.

    if you're looking for another color, I think a little pink would look lovely, but I am kind of obsessed with pink, so that may just be me too :P

    Either way, I love the blue you chose!
    Hey! Moonlight Mermaid, I was thinking of the fins too but i still in the mist of confusing mind state @.@

    Pink totally look lovely maybe that will be my next tail color :P

    Hi Aziara! hmmm not really sure how to add

    Hiya!

    I've designed a couple of tails on that Doll Divine website! They're quite basic but my favourite is the blue and hopefully I'll be able to make/commission it one day!

    Here is my Lionfish tail! I hope to have a color scale up soon but I may not be able to .

    I've added color to a second concept page. It is horrible color because I had to use acrylic paint but it works :3

    I love the Lionfish designs. It's such a beautiful setup with the big pectoral and dorsal fins and would look great as a tail.

    <3 thanks. I want the base color to be a little different but I will have to add white highlights though I'm considering using UV or glow paint

    Wow! Great designs!

    My hubby picked a fluke design out of the dozen and a half I drew for him.

    We're now working on a color scheme, and possible extra fins.
    I'm probably going to have to mold this fluke myself, and send the negative to a tailmaker(probably Jesse).

    He likes earth tones. Blues, greens, browns, etc, and I've also thrown in black, and silver. I currently have 50 different color schemes/patterns.
    I'm hoping he picks out something really attractive.
    His favorite color is blue (like my eyes *flutter flutter flutter*).

    Here is the finished design for the Largmouth -Black- Bass
    I know this one isn't really flashy but I am going for a realistic look and not fantasy appearance.
