Blindingly shiny if you're talking about the costume I think you are. I think it would translate best into a full body tail, if such a thing exists.

Unrelated, but I've just realized I need to make a list of heroes I cannot do costumes based on. The Hulk, Silver Surfer, Namor's original costume... What is with Marvel and heroes who don't wear clothes? Point is, I am officially making a 'must have more than undies' rule for requests.

Anyway, I have a Wolverine and Green Lantern tail done that I will have to post sometime that isn't 2:00 in the morning.

You would be a friggan discoball underwater...which is oddly appropriate and would be awesome at meet ups with those led pool lights...

My merbellas design.
INCREDIBLY rough (I'm not artistically inclined at all)
But really I want a peacock color scheme that focuses on the gold and blues

Lotus_Bloom let me bounce all my ideas off her and spam her with inspiration pictures while I worked on my "dream" tail design. Someday, some way, I will have this tail in silicone and be the splashiest mermaid at the speakeasy!

I should probably design my fabric tail first, though...

[Ciriun]

Celaeno, that is gorgeous! And I'm not usually a fan of dark colors. And you put so much detail into it!

Thanks! It's a photoshop composite. I took my tail sketch and blended it with a photograph of a black and teal betta fish, recolored a paper doll template, blended a photograph of a 1920s style sequin dress into her swimsuit, dotted the pearls onto her, and warped a photo of a 1920s lace cloche cap to fit her head. I like having brightly colored jewel tone hair, and that plus pools equals disaster, so I figure I can tuck my hair up into a swim cap and cover it with a sparkly flapper cloche to still fit my overall look while preserving my hair color. I can have teal finger-waved hair for dry shoots.

Now that I've finished this design, I really want to make it in silicone myself...too ambitious for my own good, I'm afraid.

I bow before your amazing Photoshop skills.

Such inventive tail designs! I've never seen anything like either of these!!

This is so beautiful! I can't wait to see it come to life.

I've never seen a puffer fish tail before!! I love the soft colors and little spines.

[Ashe]

Maggie Merpuff I love your design (and your name hehe). Are you actually going to put little spines? It's going to be so cute anyway, I don't think we have a pufferfish tail yet

I'm preparing to take the design to a manufacturer- I'm not prepared to make this myself. <3 I'm hoping very much for Mernation, but have put feelers out around town, as it were.

I really want to see this tail fleshed out, so to speak! What a unique design!

[Lotus the Mermaid]

I adore that pufferfish design! And the way they always have those derpy little smiles. XD

So I'm still kind of doing the superhero tails, a little stuck on how to make a good Flash one. But in the meantime, I decided I would sketch out my dream tail. I'm pretty proud because I did not use a base at all, although I probably should have used references. I think there is at least one person on here who would recognize my fluke inspiration, possibly more.



Yes, I slapped a giant watermark on it because I am possessive and paranoid. Anyway, it lacks a lot of the detail I dream the actual tail would have, but this is the gist of it.
