Thanks Anahita

Aw, you're welcome

[Soulstrifer]

OKAY so ... it's kind of fail but that's okay... I'd be able to better mach colors and patterns airbrushing. Here's the fish my sister picked out

And here is my crappy crappy tail designed from the fish...

[Meemerdd]

So many colors! I think the design will look even better when put together for a real tail, it's really unique

[Miyu]

That is an AWESOME tail, Soulstrifer! I really love the colours, and that's a neat fluke! I can't see the pic it's based off of, but I looked it up and that is a super-cool fish

[Soulstrifer]

Thank you! <3 So far all three I've designed are trying to hold as true as I can to the actual fish they are based on. Lionfish -my personal favorite but will be my third or fourth tail I make- Bass and now this one and I have a Mandarin fish and a Black striped Angel fish as well as a Koi requested designs ><

[Soulstrifer]

Modeled after A Moorish Idol for a friend.

Nice use of patterns and color here, Soulstrifer. The tail is NOT fail; that reference you have there and your thumbnail makes sense, has clearly conveyed info and gets the feel across. That's really what matters. If this is produced this will be a very unique, very impressive tail.

So many lovely designs on here. Thought I'd add one based off the Glaucus atlanticus (aka blue sea slug), Its only half the fluke and part of the tail as I can't draw symetricalle XP. Hopefully I can make this out of neoprene as it would be a smooth design ^_^. I apologise for the colouring as they were the only similar colours I had at the time, I swear I can paint better XP. though I am contemplating fewer tentacle apendages things.

[Meemerdd]

I love those sea slugs! And your design is beautiful. it really captures them tentacle things. XD (I wanted to try my hand at designing said sea slug tail as well in the near future....

[Anahita]

It kind of reminds me of a more shaped version of the finfolk betta tail. I bet it'd move so pretty in the water.

[Ilyena]

Meemerdd - ^_^ thanks, It's not the first or last sketch I've done of it, but the only one I had on the computer XP. Yesh do so...mini army of Mer-slug things lol.

Anahita - A little bit, just less tentacle bits, though not a fan of how their beta tails goes right up the sides. I hope it would move well in the water >_<

My simple blue/purple/teal tail

[Yulia]

Gaah, I made my first designs tonight, on my 3DS xl! XD
I wanted to have a better picture in my mind how it would look with the fluke shape.
It was kinda hard, but now I just want to make more!

[Azurin Luna]

Oooh, the dark blue one is nice

[Blaze]

So just wondering if there are any artist types out there that might consider drawing (on paper or computer) out the design I am dreaming? It's based on a fish but I'm really hoping to see how it translates to a tail.

This is the fish:


Only the bottom half of the fish obviously. I have a thing for 'fire' so any tweaks to make it more 'flame-y' would be great!

I plan on ordering from Merbella's; their 'basic' tail with competitor upgrade and most likely a glitter coat on top.

[PearlieMae]

Ooooh!!! I'll take a stab at it!

[PearlieMae]

Just a quick down-dirty to get an idea...

[Yulia]

That's such a nice adaptation!
But the black at the fluke looks a bit funky to me.

[PearlieMae]

I wanted it to contrast with the flame...I didn't do any texturizing or anything, just a sketch on my lunchbreak. And I think if I were to think about it more, I would make the side fins part of the body design.
