I originally posted this in the tail design thread, but I feel like colour schemes on their own need to have a thread.
So this could be somewhere you can post your colour schemes and get feedback before you figure out design or shape etc. I know it's going to be useful for me at least xD
So I'll re-post my original question, with a few added colour schemes as well.
The first one is the scheme (roughly) that Kanti is using to make my tail. I feel I look best in "autumn" colours, i.e. mostly warm, dark or muted, and with gold jewelry - hence why I chose this collection of colours. I really feel it fits me.
I want to get a tail from Finfolk as well, and I was planning on getting the same sort of thing. But a big part of me (also my boyfriend) is saying "why would you spend that much money on another tail with the same colour scheme?"
So, I thought I'd send it out to all of you and get your advice. Should I stick with the same colours? I've done up a few more schemes around different base metals, and I like them a lot too; but I also don't know if they'll go with my skin tone and everything. Here's a link to my facebook if that's at all helpful in matching colours to me: https://www.facebook.com/annie.partick/photos
I guess essentially I'm asking, which colour scheme do you like best?
Also, I feel like most mermaids who have a "mersona" tend to have one colour scheme they use. I've based Melaina on freshwater nymphs ā la pre-Raphaelites, so I sort of feel like changing her colours so much will make her a different mer? Would it be sacrilege to have multiple mer-sonas? xD
