I learned a lot by making it, made a lot of mistakes in the beginning, wanted to give up a million times, but now I´m happy that I worked away difficult times and that I really finished it. Hope you like it! :-)

Beautiful Tail! I love how you incorporated fantasy into the tail and you did excellent work!

**SeaNymph** · 03-24-2014, 01:33 PM

Wow, I really love your comments to my dragon tail, they make me feel so proud of having finished it. Tieri and Sabi, yes, I will post a swimming video soon, I have collected some sequences and just have to cut them together. In the meantime, I can show you some underwater pics of the tails´s first pool shooting and the fitting "dragon bra" I made :-)

So you're the one with the gold Merbella tail with the aquarium videos on youtube! I thought I recognized that belt. Awesome job on the dragon tail and top. I'm absolutely envious of your skills. Any idea if you'll start making some to sell, or is your tail one of a kind?

**Mermaid Dottie** · 03-24-2014, 01:59 PM

I just got punched in the face with awesome... Kishiko and SeaNymph, your tails look incredible! Sweet jobs, both of you! *goes to nurse awesome-punched face*

**MermaidMichelle** · 03-24-2014, 03:10 PM

SeaNymph, that tail is beautiful, and you are beautiful in that tail!

I seriously wasn't sure if that was a Merbella or not, and I am especially glad that you told us of your inspirational dragon!

You see, as part of the escapism that we female-dominant-hermaphrodites-brought-up-as-male tend to seek, I played a fair bit of Dungeons & Dragons in my time and thus immediately recognized your tail and top as having a Green Dragon motif; it seems quite likely that the illustration which inspired you was itself inspired by the Green Dragon of that game. Designed by Sam Wood, the 3rd Edition D&D Green Dragon borrows a lot of its look from the Green Moray Eel, giving you even more sea-cred through association with Flotsam and Jetsam!

You now have me thinking of how I spent the Spring and Summer of 2005 playing a D&D Bronze Dragon Hatchling and - Daenerys from Game of Thrones-style - desperately trying to get it to be able to use its breath weapon. (It was in The World's Largest Dungeon, which is like trying to raise a baby in The Hunger Games, but I did succeed.) I mention this because the Bronze Dragon is an aquatic dragon and it inspired both my pendant and an aspect of the top which Raven is working on. Likewise, the Green Dragon is a water-breather, which makes your inspiration even more appropriate, and it is so beautiful that I'm going to post another Mermaid Kiss!

**PearlieMae** · 03-24-2014, 04:16 PM

Sea Nymph, it is absolutely wonderful!

**Starfrit** · 03-25-2014, 12:29 AM

SeaNymph, you have no idea how much I'm drooling over that tail. And that matching bra is just... AUGH. *grabbyhands*

I am seriously so freaking jealous of, like, everymer in this thread. So many absolutely stunning tails!

**Toxotes** · 03-25-2014, 02:19 AM

That tail rocks!

**SeaNymph** · 03-25-2014, 08:51 AM

*Happy jumps* So glad you like my dragon tail!!! Here´s a picture of the little dragon figurine that inspired me:

@ Aziara: Yes, you´re right, I do aquarium shows sometimes and the belt and some other things I made to practice skulpting. And yes, there was a little moment when I dreamt to be a tailmaker, getting more experience, becoming the "European Raven"... but then I woke up and reality told me that I don´t have time for this because I have a very challenging and time consuming main job AND my mermaid shows. So probably this will remain a dream...

@ Michelle: Wow, that´s amazing. I have been a "Dungeons & Dragons" player for long time, later I became a LARP character (silver dragon in human form). I was crazy about dragons and collected everything about them, especially the fantasy artwork of Ciruelo. So, I think now I´m more a diving dragon than a mermaid ;-)

@ Perlie and Jessica: That´s high praise coming from you two, because for me you are very promising, inspiring and tasteful tail makers and I admire both your tail works so very much.

@Kishiko: Beautiful work, I´m sure your tail will have a nice shimmer under water. I admire everyone who can sew, I was never able to do this. If I could, first thing I would do is creating a neoprene tail with thousands of sequins...

**Echidna** · 03-25-2014, 09:08 AM

wow, that tail looks amazing underwater in the second shot, where the green and gold blends together.
Great design! *serpent seal of approval*

I also like Dottie's selkie tail.
Are you going to paint it?

**thevirginiamermaid** · 03-25-2014, 11:44 PM

Hey everyone! I haven't been active lately but I recently purchased a used Mertailor tail from Blue Mermaid Designs and did a bunch of shooting in it! Lemme know what you think!! also don't forget to like me on facebook

I'll be doing a full tail review in the review thread soon but for now enjoy the pictures! Name: 300 resized.jpg

Oh dear; the dragon figurine pic link appears dead....

I know how you feel about being a diving dragon, though; I feel exactly the same way about my own mermaid self. I must remember your fondness for dragons; my upcoming Merbella tail is somewhat dragon-inspired, too!

@Balsam Mermaid: You and your tail look amazing. My hair must remain virginal, but I do respect how you went to the trouble of ensuring that yours matched your tail!
