    But I'll get back the beginning of April, and I'll see if I have time for a drawing for you.
    Thank you sweety! And enjoy your vacation! It's still snowing here in Belguim

    Oh yes, there will be video of me opening my tail as well! I will not be surprised if I cry XD Everyone's designs look so great! I don't have one to share- I basically left it up to Raven cause I suck at color designs big time haha. I just told her the colors I wanted and a gist of what I'm looking for in a design.

    I'm also so impatient for my tail on the inside. Driving myself maaaad. I'm basically trying to do things so I'm more ready to go when it gets here. This includes leg workouts becuase I know that fluke is gonna be heavy -I felt Oceana's last time I saw her so I know now just how heavy it'll be. Also amping up for pro stuff and making myself more accessories

    I can only imagine how heavy the fluke must be/seem...hm. At least you got the competitor so you'll be able to use it easier. I'm so excited for all of you guys. xD

    As far as I know nobody else has gotten that fluke (from here) yet...but I'm anxious too.

    Thats what I though, but just checking. I hope someone does! It looks really cool.
    So are you saying you want that fluke design? Or just that you want someone to get one.

    I think...more so that I want to see it. I can't really judge it with only a few pictures of the fluke. :P

    Precisely! I love the bigger veins...I think the larger, black veins kind of add a different sort of realism. But it's not as big as the Merbella fluke, lol!

    Right, and I really like the bigger flukes.

    That fluke they call the "Angler" fluke For me it was between the Classic one and the Angler one. I thought I knew, till she asked me, then I wasn't sure anymore! Isn't that the way it always goes? :P So I asked 10 of my friends which would suit me better/fit my look and personality better and 9/10 said classic. Which was the one I wanted all along before I got all anxious about it haha, so that's the one I went with. Part of me wanted the new one becuase everyone else so far had had the classic fluke and I wanted something different, but in the end I knew the classic fit me better, different or not. There weren't as many pictures of it then, but since then I'm glad I went with the classic. I just like it better! The Angler is smaller than the classic for sure as well, and I'm a total sucker for big flukes

    But yeah, the performance tails generally weight 30lbs+, and according to others who own them, 20lbs of that is in the fluke. I'm really glad I got the competitor, becuase it seems there is much more ability to control it (especially out of the water) since the weight is dispersed on a solid monofin. Especially for the Classic Fluke since it's so big. I think since the Angler and MerFin flukes are smaller you'd have more ability to control it out of the water with a foil than a the classic one with the foil.

    I reallyreallyreally love the coloring and detail she did on her angler tail. It's just so fascinating. The ridges and shape are just so ugh! <3 Just when I thought she couldn't impress me any more she just slaps me around, hahaha. I am SUPER excited to see what she comes up for your tail, Iona. Did you specify a color scheme or did you leave it all up to her? ;p

    waaah! damm those prettyness! And even now I got the chance to get a basic tail, now u guys made me want a performance tail (EVEN MORE)!! XD Like really!!
    I love the basic performance fluke WAY more than the fluke on the basic tail But even then again; Its crazy engough I got my parents this far they even let buy me a mermaid tail that cost 1000 dollars!

    As for the second: I don't do professional mermaiding, It's just a big passion of mine and I'll use my tail for some pictures and outdoor swimming in the summer
    And it's not that amazinly heavy out of the water. That are the reasons I'd go for a basic tail in the first place. and they are pretty realistic to!
    I almost can't tell the diffecence from the depth of the scales between a basic and a perfomence one :o It's just the shape of the fluke that's bothering me; But the hell with that! I'm 100% sure Raven will make a little masterpiece out of it and forget about the pretty shape of the basic performance flukes <3

    The angler fluke is actually the fluke I intend on getting once I can afford it. It's my favorite out of all the flukes.

    Raven got back to me on the headdress thing I was finally able to send her the description of what I wanted so we could come up with a possible price and all that. YAY!
