Yeah I see what you're saying it was more the comment of since she already had a silicone tail and the comment about fairness

What needs to be remembered is that:

A: Raven is running a business. Her business is not a democracy or a charity, nor is she a benevolent ruler deigning to grant a boon to a loyal subject;

B: That particular style may have been a bitch to produce or Raven has other reasons not to make another...and never say never! She might change her mind!;

C: If it's not your size or you don't have the money, it's your tough luck, whether or not the winner of the auction has no tail or a hundred tails.

Being jealous, or crying 'unfair' is petulant and inappropriate. No one ever said life is fair. But don't worry...if you keep the faith, the tail you are meant to have will come to you!

^ Thank you Pearlie.

Can't we all just be happy someone on the Network got the tail. At least we know it's in good hands, so I don't see what all the fuss is about. Of course it would be awesome to see more tails of this same design, but it's up to Raven, and we as a community don't have a say in her business because we aren't shareholders. Plus, as has been said before, Raven is incredibly talented, and I'm sure we'll be seeing other new designs to be excited about. :3

I am so psyched just to see a tail like that. Keep in mind, while Raven is not going to copy this tail again, she has said she'd be willing to put double flukes on, etc. If you are creative, an artist will love that and will love to work with you.

[Mermaid Cecelia]

Double flukes?

[lynsea]

The sea dragon tail has two flukes slightly offset from the centerline. I was just pointing out one of the many unique features of this tail.

[ShyMer]

Oh you mean the dorsal fin? I love that look.

[Imogen Finnly]

Totally agree pearlie gurl. Preach!

you beat me to it! I'm really excited because I'm considering a koi design after Raven's recommendation for my next tail. But I'm letting her have full control and make whatever she wants colour/style wise. A lot of people try koi and while I think people have come up with some great ideas, to me personally a lot of them remind me of the colouring and markings of COWS just with orange thrown in. LOL. Everything is so big and blotchy. So I love that she went small with the pattern on this! And I love the fins. All just my personal preference of course.

I hope the new owner is super happy, and keep in mind the above photo is a WIP it's not done yet!

I LOVE the way the fluke kind of tapers inward before outward. I've been drawing flukes like that--SO gorgeous.

[Mermaid Azira]

I see what you mean Emma. That fluke shape is just great.

After her clownfish tail I have been waiting for a koi.

[Mermaid Kalliope]

LOVE this koi design! So much that I didn't even notice that the fluke is very familiar. ;-D

That's my fluke cut down! It looks so cool!

[Mermaid Dottie]

OH! Yup. I love it. Simply Beautiful.

[Mermaid Mhara]

That koi design is gorgeous <3 saw it earlier on facebook and I nearly fainted <3 deffo going with Raven when I have the monies...and if she's available by then of course!

OMG, this makes me want a koi tail so bad--Gah! Decisions, decisions... I had finally come up with a design I like, then I see this! I actually have a comet goldfish right now with this exact pattern. And wow, I totally didn't know that was Kailani's fluke until she said so!

[Ocean-Borne]

Ah, it's so beautiful!! <3
It amazes me that someone can make something so realistic! Now I want a koi tail, lol!
