Aysun's Midnight Moonstone Tail by Pearlie Mae

[PearlieMae]

Aysun has chosen a Pearlie Mae tail!

She has some very interesting ideas and I will posting her tail progress here!

I am super excited to finally have my own tail. I really feel like I picked the perfect tail maker to bring my vision to reality.

I will be posting a rough sketch later and would love input from you all

[Mermaid Enora]

Any chance it will be done in time for her to wear at Scarborough Faire? (April-May)
I'd love to go see the tail in action!

[PearlieMae]

That should not be a problem at all!

Here is the design I have so far:



I was playing around with the idea of crescent moons on the tail. Then I thought about how you can still see the rest of the moon even when just a part of it is illuminated. So I turned them into eyespots, which is a natural marking found on some fish. Win-win.

I know what colors I want it to be, I just have to actually color it.

It is looking like the main body is gonna be labradorite favoring the blue flashes (Thank you for that idea, Pearlie Mae!) Then the belly and side spots will be moonstone with a dark, dark dorsal stripe.

I am still debating extra fins and placement.

I have also decided to order a top. It will be nice to have a swim-worthy top as opposed to the dry tops I make for myself.

I have no idea what to do for the top though...

[PearlieMae]

That's awesome! I have all kinds of ideas running around in my head now!

For instance: How about echoing the crescents on top, as if they are cupping your breasts, with dark blue sparkly scales (night sky) as a background?

[Aysun_the_Mermaid]

I had considered that too, but then I thought I was crazy.

But since two people have independently come up with it...



I like it

[Miyu]

yay! A Pearlie tail at a a renfaire? That'll be awsome!!!

[Mermaid Kelda]

Ooh, what a lovely design! It looks like a dark moth And based on stones, too! You and I will be cousins

[Mermaid Enora]

Can't wait to see it!!

[Aysun_the_Mermaid]

Tail cousins!

[PearlieMae]

Off to ask Auntie Google what pretty moths look like!

[Aysun_the_Mermaid]

My doodle for my top is looking the that goddess symbol with the three moons.

Sort of.

I have the crescent moons facing away from eachother, because I think they read as crescents best that way.

When I have them both coming up from the bottom, they look a little like big cartoon boobs.

Then I feel like they need some small divider between them instead of having them butt up against eachother.

A small circle or rounded diamond works well, but even that small thing makes it look very much like the 3 moons.

[PearlieMae]

I love that idea!
