    5. I'll probably put more pics up after i manage to get some apoxie sculpt? and finish the tail up -->
      and after i try painting it ^^'

      but that will be months later since i can't order any at the moment because i'm going on holiday soon and worried about when the mail will come.

      So yeah, more pics much much later.

      Wooooooow.... You are doing what I have been waiting for companies to do at some point. And I think you are doing it better than they might!
      That is art and skill, well done. All the joints look nice and it seems they will work really well! The outlook is very flashy, very detailed.

      Good luck with finishing this! :D

    12. I can't believe this is made from Sculpey! I've never been able to do anything so dramatic with sculpey before!

      Let me know if you ever get tired of him, I'll gladly take him off your hands!

    13. LOL! After all the blood, sweat and tears? He's actually sitting in pieces until i get some Apoxie sculpt or whatever........that's going take forever Q.Q
      I'm glad he's turning out so well ^^. Wasn't sure at all how it was all going to turn out because i made him on the fly ~ that and i had to buy all these new clay tools,sandpaper and anything else i would have needed to sculpt clay --> literaly spent hundreds because he was my first ever clay project
      he's currently priceless to me =P

    14. Just wanted to add that if you are worried about the durability of the tail you could always get someone to cast it. It's not really that hard :)

      Oh, and having done extensive work with apoxie sculpt be patient :) it's a bit sticky and different to handle than many other clays but the results you can get are worth it!

    17. I think silverbeam is planning on doing a 3d printed naga/ merman, tail eventually. She was thinking something smiliar in joint sections as your tail. I talk with her a lot, she has so many different projects and plans. :D

      I was thinking maybe Styrofoam or a cloth version tail myself.

      You have awesome detail! It's a lovely design. If his joint sections fit in together better, I would even call it professional grade!

    21. Cupcake icing texture sheet (fishscale pattern) rolled through a pasta machine

      thanks for the compliment XD --actually i should be glad my photography skills suck because you really cant see the ugly flaws in it :P
      I'm hoping to order some after my trip so hopefully it works out. I did get some epoxie putty used for plumbing to mix and see how it'll turn out but its not as hard as i'd like
      but even though recasting sounds great - it sounds expensive QAQ (esp for a multi-part super large tail)

    23. If you ever cast the tail would you cast a second one? I would really LOVE to have one.
      I would just have to save-up for one xD

      What I heared from friends who casts some little self-made hand, ear, of tailparts: One of the most expensive things is the silicone for the casting.

      When they cast they often have flaws like bubbles in it which can break the resin or you can see them and so on. So they have many tries before they succseed.

    24. Not sure if its good enough to cast and sell because it'll be too expensive- that tail is over 60cm and has how many parts? may as well get a
      [h=1]Asleep Eidolon Mermaids[/h]which are SO DAMN GORGEOUS and yet I cant afford one QAQ

      Yeah i heard casting is very difficult~

    30. double post ^^' - but i'ce modded the bum again and he can now sit up without having me switch his second segment around.
      Photo's added to the first page!


      oh - and @
      Fox_the_Gamer

      Sorry - dont take commisions (coz i think the projects are too long and costly and it wont be worth it for my sculpting) Also - this guy is mine - i'll keep him for a long long time.
      So unless i can find a mold maker who can cast him in perth - i wont make any more mermans/maids

    46. Even though i haven't added anything to the tail - I recently got this beautiful outfit off the net and edited slightly to fit my baby and still show off his lil fins/wings X)
      (I'm so slack - I cant be bothered to paint him)

      he's really starting to look like an oriental dragon/merman X)

    50. This is an absolutely fantastic mod. Beautifully done. <3

      Something to consider for painting/blushing: mica powder. Because the only thing better than a fantastic dragon-merman-thing, is a fantastic shimmery dragon-mermaid-thing. :D
