Poor Raven! It makes me so mad someone would do that!

It is truly a very horrible situation and I feel so bad for Raven because she is just devastated about all of this </3

In the meantime, Raven did publicly post a bunch of stuff not in here yet photo wise!
See how the photo the client approved has spots, but claims in their video it didn;t? lol
Is there a link to this video? I haven't seen it.

it's on the person's personal profile and they blocked certain people from seeing it, but someone downloaded it and is sending it around. Id rather not even humor their lies by posting it here.
It's been a while since I've posted. I took a hiatus while Raven upgraded the seadragon. She did such an amazing job; the colors somehow manage to pop twice as dramatically as they did before and the new fins are killin' it. Raven is a genius. I'm loving the seadragon 2.0.
Those tails are gorgeous, and I love the underwater photo. ❤️
I just don't get the point in lying about something like that. What could they possibly hope to gain from it? They must realise that they're just destroying any chance of ever getting another Merbella tail, and potentially any tail from the few established tail makers that exist. This is such a small community that the reputation of a liar will inevitably spread, and they won't be able to fool anyone for long. All they'll end up doing is putting all tail makers off of ever working them. (Which is exactly what they deserve.) Some people are just complete idiots.

Well Raina, if you, the mods, and Raven are comfortable, I'm sure we'd like to know who the person is just so we know who is a liar.
Positive side note: Raven mentioned the lunar koi (the first one I believe) doesn't fit her well so she's going to be selling it!

Sorry I took your update from you :O you havent been on in a while so I posted it thinking you wouldnt be around to do so. SORRY. <3Originally Posted by Mermaidmechanic
Exactly. Multiple people and multiple tail makers messaged me when they saw it, and I know she's now black listed from several. Tail makers aren't stupid. They know the hallmark signs.
I don't think Raven would want anything extra here posted than need be, but I mean, I posted their tail up there with a caption. Should be easy enough for people to suss out!
Ah, didn't see that comment hidden in all the pictures. Thanks for hinting for us.

Excuse me, but has anyone besides Raina actually seen the review? So far, you are all condemning a woman with only one side of the story. I don't care what your final opinion is, but please try to fairly display the issue.
Also, this sort of comment terrifies me. It sounds very similar to the attitude that mertailor fans take, and we all know how sheep like them seem to us from the outside. I just want you to imagine what you must look like to people unfamiliar with our world.
The Raven army will revolt! Haha

iona has been sent everything, including the video.
Many of you actually do have this person as a friend on FB but most seemed to miss the video being posted.

Pretty sure that was a joke since anytime people have stood up to people lying about Raven, they get called her personal armyjust a reference to old drama.
I realize that Iona has been sent the information, but I was more addressing the other members of this thread.

I have seen the video and she points out the sloppy seams, a ripped fin, scuffed paint, tail sits really high under her boobs, parts of the fluke are coming apart and says that she feels like it was a rushed job. I'm disappointed that she would lie.
I know for a fact too that Raven checked her measurements multiple times and the hilarious thing is, she even mentioned to me she was worried it would be too short based on how it looked, but that it always matched the clients measurements everytime she asked. So I think it's ironic she finds it too high up. Raven will often ask me for input on tails or what a client might think or if there's anything I think she can improve on before she sends pics to a client. And we chatted about this particular tail for a few months. Like all other tails raven does, it's created in a rotation with several others.
Anyway, I feel confident the truth will come out. There's already been some interesting developments. It just really sucks she had to be put through this all to begin with.
The sad thing is, if there were any legit issues with the tail when it was recieved, anyone who has been a merbella's client will tell you she always offers to remake it or fix it. That's part of the reason WHY her wait is so long. Because sometimes those "fixes" are as extreme as "please repaint the entire thing days before it's due".

If anyone has a link or file of the review, I would love to see it. I don't get my opinions of tailmakers based on reviews, actually. People can be paid for good reviews or pressured into doing bad ones for fame. There's really no way to tell unless you try it for yourself! I've bought several small things online that had terrible reviews, but I ended up loving the product. It's all about conducting your own experiments, because everyone has different tastes and needs. Maybe the tail just wasn't what she had envisioned, and that's fine!
As long as they've got a good product, who cares what a few people think? I'm sure Raven knows she does a good job with her tails and that most people really, really love them, so why worry about a single person? Priorities are important, merfriendsno need to get so worked up over a single person's opinion!
Twilight darkens, yet there in the shade,

No one can link to the review because it's on a profile so only people with that person added can see it. But I have about 100 people in common with them and they've got 100s of mermaids added. (personally I think that's an interesting choice. if you believe so fully you've been wronged enough to make a video, why limit the audience? wouldnt you want everyone to know the tail makers is a scammer?)
I agree there's no need to worry over one review, I think it's just the obvious intention behind it and when all the lies can be proven wrong it's very clear it becomes slander/libel. And this happens so much. For every 1 the community hears about, there's like 20 you don't hear about it. I think for Raven, and honestly all the well established tail makers, it's just a really frustrating thing
