    • I understand I have made no previous mermaid tails which is why I am making the price so low.
    • If you need or would like examples of my sculpting ability or even if you are interested and would like to send me a photo/design of what you would like to see if I can recreate in on a miniature scale to prove to you that I am capable, I am willing and able to do that.
    • I have done much more complicated and detailed sculpts and I have created MUCH more complex molds so creating a mermaid tail is literally something I am perfectly capable of doing, I simply don't have the money for one.



    Here's a quick sample of a miniature fluke design:
    Attachment 9850
    This took approximately 15 minutes to sculpt freehand and it is about 4" long entirely, so forgive the details. A real size tail would be much more detailed and drawn out.


    Now that we have a buyout(several, actually!) I can begin the tutorial and it has pretty much already begun and will continue mostly on my youtube and livestream. I'm working on uploading videos on each step of the process but I will be showing the most recent progress on here in this photo

    Progress Photo:



    These are not the final mold, they were simply arranged to show pattern.

    I will also be using this tail to finally make a video tutorial of how to make a full silicone mermaid tail, so if you don't win you could always think of it that you paid $25 to support the tutorial.

    This price is only going to be available for one person, so never again will I be offering another full silicone tail with this many options at this price.

    Once a winner has been chosen I will announce the beginning of the tutorial over my Youtube page and I will update it at LEAST once a week. Construction on the tail will begin as SOON as a design is made by the winner

    I really hope this is taken seriously, everyone needs to start somewhere and I would really love a shot at this. I am willing to go out of my way to make sure your design is perfect.

    Feel free to ask questions or ask for a miniature fluke sculpt example.


    My BEST advice to anyone who'd like to participate in the raffle is to private message me the amount of tickets you'd like to purchase and keep it private. I will list your name on here and make a private note as to the amount.
    I will hold the money in a private bank account until the goal is reached. If the tail is purchased before the goal is reached, your money will be refunded within the next week.

    Remember, to make a raffle work ALL tickets need to be purchased. This means a MINIMUM of 60 tickets at $25 a piece will be sold to reach the goal. So you may want to tell friends.

    Please PM me if you're interested in buying tickets, or email Kanti-Kane@hotmail.com

    -Firemaid

    So you bought a ticket. What happens if we raise the goal?
    Once the goal is raised and the tutorial process will begin, I will make an announcement on this thread for an EVENT DATE that will be held on my livestream account.
    After the final week of final purchases is closed, I will make a public list of how the tickets were bought, this will show how many tickets belong to how many people.
    I will literally print out a spreadsheet of EVERYONES votes out and cut them out right in front of everyone over livestream. They will be tossed into a bowl and a winner will be chosen publicly so everyone can see that it was a fair drawing.

    Ugh, I hate being broke! So let me get this straight..you can buy one ticket. Once all the tickets are sold, there is a total of $1500. This money will be used to make the tail. If you win the raffle, you just paid $25 for a platinum silicone tail? And others helped pay for it? lol
    Do you want this anemone to sting you?
    ......yes!

  16. #16
    Yep that's right. But even if you don't win a tail, everyone gets a youtube series on how to make one for yourself.
    So to make yourself feel a bit better you can think of it in that perspective I suppose.

    sounds like a sweet deal if you ask me even if there is only a 1/60 chance if you only get one ticket. Still I would not be able to afford the tail i want for many years and this is a chance (however small) of making the dream a reality. Even if i don't win the tutorial will be cool and might use it to make a tail if i don't win.
