To me, the difference is subtle...but I don't have an airbrushed tail.

I can actually see the colouration difference between the front and back of Ariel's tail quite easily, and wonder if it wasn't intentional.
Most fish and cetaceans have evolved a dark back and light underside for the purposes of camouflage. When seen from above, one wishes to blend in with the dark depths below. When seen from below, one wishes to blend in with the light above. I was thinking of this truth specifically when designing my tail, and thus I intentionally incorporated it into the proposed paint job. I suspect that Raven was thinking along the same lines when she painted Ariel_Starfish's; she wanted it to look realistic. Thus I would recommend against changing it.
Ariel, in your lovely swimming-pool mermaid give in your signature, all I notice is a bit of heel and some natural creasing as your fluke turns to us. Maybe it's because you are so graceful and your tail so beautiful, but I am inclined to quote Joan of Arc and say that this matter is "a little thing; less than nothing."

Wow, that second top is really spectacular. I wonder if Merbella would ever considering doing a merman top similar to it, I would buy one so fast.
Wowza!

Oh my cod. That last one is...I can't even put words to it! I have to get one like that one day!

I also quite like the last one, and also the middle one. The central one's scale pattern reminds me a bit of some fiery alien insect's face, but it is a cool look!

Augh, that red and gold siren top! <3 That's the style I'm hoping to get from her someday in my mersona's colors. It's seriously my favorite top design by her!
The details on that abalone shell top, though... I just drooled all over my keyboard. WOWZA INDEED.
Albone top!
I was thinking the same thing! I saw it and went... "DAMN... I would totally wear that! It goes so perfectly with my tail!"
Gah, makes me love that she-creature top even more!
Oh, and the other two are lovely, as well. All the little shells aat a bit too much for my personal style, but I can see someone pulling it off quite nicely. :-)
Ah, I LOVE the abalone top! <3
