Merman Marinus SLOW Extended Tail Project

Don't worry take your time, it's important that you feel completely satisfied with your work

Absolutely I've changed the design more times that i can count .

What materials will you be using now for the molding?

Shell shock from smooth on, after reading through their molding materials i decided that would work best for me!

Let me know how it goes with shell shock because I wanted to use plaster as well but Im also afraid of molds breaking and whatnot

What inspired the leafy bits on the fluke tips, if I may ask, Mortimer?
They look like they'll be gorgeous!!!

I figured that the fluke itself would not change much cause im set on one specific style for this tail but for some reason i visualized it with leafy tendrils at the ends also a mayor change in the color scheme, new design drawing coming soon.

Thanks Moon Ill be updating y'all by Saturday after i take this sculpt apart and re sculpt it in the new shape i may even update sooner depends on how much i work tonight.

Update: took old fluke sculpt apart section by section to be salvaged later that way I don't need to spend much time making the whole surface leveled again ill just fit the pieces together and smooth everything out. More tomorrow crashing now.

Eeee! I love the leaves!

Are you putting anything into the silicone to strengthen the tips? having such thin tips holding on the leafy bits may be easily damaged. if you can inlay some mesh fabric into the tips it would make it stronger ( like a small rolled shape- would strengthen it without changing the shape of the tip.)

Thanks a lot for the consideration Astridia but yes ill be using a type of filler that will make the silicone a lot harder than it is and both sides of the fluke will be lined with power mesh for that exact reason.

^_^ Just a thought that came to mind, would hate for something to happen to such a cool tail.

[Mermaid Kassandra]

They made a real disaster!

But anyway I love even more the new shape, I can't wait to see it completely sculpted

I promise guys this is the last time i go hulk smash instead of fixing it this fluke sculpt will be it or this tail i love it so much and if at the end i don't like the leafy tendrils ill cut them off cause there's a slight chance that the flowyness of them in the water will bug me but well see. Drawing up new color scheme to go with the change of fluke now...
