Wow, your scales are so unique and your tail is so bold and colorful. Amazing tail!
I love to embellish things so I had to beautify my "Venus magictail" by adding fins and a long fluke.

Wow! ❤️
How did you make the extra fins? From a spare tail skin?
They're actually hand-painted fabric bits, I believe! It's posted in another thread somewhere!
Twilight darkens, yet there in the shade,
Lies a glimmering shadow, the wild mermaid;
As night draws ever closer, there's a choice to be made--
Will you stay as you are, or be delivered to the waves?

I just started a thread about how I made the fins and longer fluke. I sandwiched plastic between sheer fabric and then hand painted them with acrylic paint. Glad you like them!
Just received my sketch for my silicone tail I will getting soon from Najestic Ent
Do you happen to have more pics / a tailmaking thread somwwhere by any chance? I love it!

Funny thing is I didn't even make the connection. I just had a few scales and the side fins and my wife says "So you are making a Dory tail?"
Me - "Wait, what? . . . Oh . . . apparently yes."
I didn't really document the build. I saw MerQueen Nerissa's tail and did the same scale over powermesh thing (I'm not sure who to properly attribute the method to).
I'm leaving on vacation today untill the 16th and I decided I wanted to take a tail. The problem being that we will be by the sea so I wanted something visible with a strong Monofin. Neither of my 3 tails had both of those qualities. Inevitably yesterday I went "eh, I've been planing this tail anyway and have everything I need" so...
Her name is Opal. When I get back from vacation I will be making a matching top and figuring out how to get the spikes to not scrunch in on themselves. Strangely enough I have actually worked with spandex spikes before and COMPLETELY FORGOT that they did that. Oh well. To the sea!!

For spikes, I sew in a few stitches into the tips of them, so they stay and don't fold in on itself.

Whats funny is that the tips are fine. They are pulling in at the curve between spikes. And when i full extend one another one of them will shrink up. Ive had this problem with spandex before. I ended up sewing in boning on that one. I will try some stay stitching just at the curves when i am home. Hopefully that does enough. Thanks :3
