I just had one of those magical moments where when you've done something enough times you develop an instinct for when something is about to go wrong. Sure enough, I checked and I was about to sew the dorsal fin into the seam. A little alarm went off in my head like, "HEY YOU check the seam!!"

After some good client feedback I have decided to stop offering OdiCoat as an option on my tails. Clients who have multiples of my creations have reported that without it, the tails hold up well with proper care and due to some slight discolouring with time, I think this is best.

People still leave comments on my Courtney Mermaid YouTube channel and it seems like no matter how many posts I make I can't get through to the people who still want to see my content. I'm not on Courtney Mermaid anymore, I'm now here: www.youtube.com/@VancouverMe...

I’m thinking about removing my ebooks and digital templates entirely. I haven’t added to the set in ages and they contain all my secrets and I think it’s time to put that information back in the vault.

If I could give past me one critical piece of advice it would be to take better product photos. Like make sure the pictures you are taking are going to fit with the resolution you plan on using.

These two tails are several years apart but were made for the same client (and dear friend). I enjoy looking back on these fond memories. This tail was such a unique concept at the time and it still is. 💜 #mermaidtail

Let me explain why I don't share my artwork and why it's behind a pay-wall. It's because my mermaid tail designs get ripped off more often than I would like and it really hurts me every time. So all my concepts and designs are exclusive to Patreon. Only Procreate low-res video get shared to YouTube.

This is the current custom order I have in production and I have just moved on to the polish phase. The image I shared on here is the concept that was approved by the client and I'm so pleased with how it turned out.

I took some times recently to resize the fluke of this design to work with the Fish Fin monofin. Though it has changed the vibe a bit it still works in my opinion and I love how wild and colourful this design is!

In an effort to push myself a bit out of my comfort zone I tried something very different with this design. I explored shapes, styles, and colours for this piece and I'm quite pleased with how it came out.

Catching up on emails this morning and as a quick reminder, for those of you finding me through Bluesky, I do not consent to making tails for those under the age of 18 for safety reasons.
Parents, I'm very appreciative for the consideration, but please do not order tails for your children from me.
