    I hereby decree that tail the toxic OR wicked tail, which ever people like most. Well... not really, but that's what I thought when I first saw it. More of a darker mermaid image. Beautiful, absolutely love it, but ever so slightly evil. Haha.

    vaguely irritated....purely because these were the colours I was contemplating
    and now I feel I need to pick different colours or I'm copying

    I think it's fine to have the same colours, especially if the design's different. You could make your colours more bold maybe, since this one seems to have played them down a bit. More pastel/pale/mellow than vibrant and striking.

    I feel like the darker tail look slightly like my design I drew a while back here except without the black.



    I mean it was based off of the northern lights so :P I don't think it's copied at all xD Just a good color scheme.

    yeah this is a client's rush ordered tail. Not a merbellas created from their head tail I personally am not a fan of the stripes. But I think the fluke looks freaking amazing. Almost got that sheen of an oil slick

    Anyone have luck getting though to Raven yet? Sent her an email after the fb status was posted and no response. I'm sure she's overwhelmed with email. Just hope she got it. Also where did you find the angler template, Blondie? I want to work on my color scheme.

    Go to the FB page and look at the albums...it's in an album called "design your merbella tail"

    It's very Halloween-y in my opinion... like the kind of tail for a sea-witch, cackling as she whizzes about the ocean with some sort of malicious fish on a seaweed-and-driftwood broomstick. XD
    Not sure if that's the image they were going for or not.

    Same here, the fluke is amazing, but I'm picturing the rest of the tail differently. I'm not a fan of stripes or dots most of the time, but on occasion I see some I really like.

Is this just me or? I don't know..

    I'm not bashing her I'm just saying it sounds a little unprofessional. I know how hard Raven works. But even though her tails are priority it doesn't mean a headdress should be put off for 8 months and forgotten about. And I'm just curious to why Raven never hit Aurora up with an email like, "Hey you still are interested in this headdress right?"
    Blondie, I agree with you. It also sounds unprofessional to me.

    Maybe a thing one could have present in the future for a custom order like that, if she doesn't know how much to charge would be to say, "OK, if you don't know the final price, maybe I can pay you X now, and when you finish you tell me if there is any more left for me to pay, or reinburse me the difference". That way you become a paying customer and you don't have to be put at the end of a list of which you do not know the lenght of (or the time it will get to ship) to get a product that you are interested in.

    When I ordered my top I did not know I was going to be at the end of a list of tail customers. I assumed the top was not going to be out in 3 mere weeks as the listing said, but I did not expect to be the last one in being taken care of either. A paying customer is a paying customer. I always assumed these kind of businesses operated in a first come, first served basis, no matter the amount you are paying for an article.

    I am not bashing. I am saying that many of the issues Raven has have to do with her not talking to and not being clear with her customers.

    Thanks, Elle. Apparently you can't look up albums on fb mobile.

    Reminds me of blue raspberry and lemonade. I'm not fond of heel fins much ever but ahhhhh those are so well painted they just match so well. Same with the hip or pelvic fins up top!

    I'm totally in agreement. Aside from dorsals, I' not really a fan of extra fins but this makes me rethink that. So pretty. It made my heart stop a little.

    I'm a little divided about dorsals myself. They look awesome in underwater pictures, but other than that they just flop over on land and look a little awkward when you swim because they bend strangely at the knees. There was a mermaid (I forget her name now, but people have told me it's Nerine the Arctic Mermaid) but she had a really good idea with Jesse to have a kind of split dorsal fin, which stopped either side if the knee to prevent that awkward bend. Personally, I'd never get one, I'm more of a hip fin lover. But each to their own, all of us are individual and it makes all the individual tails so awesome!
