Though this photo isn't necessarily related to today's vlog I just had to share it because I'm so thrilled with how this shot came out! 😍

This week's vlog is actually from April 11th and 12th but because I took time off for my birthday I did get a bit behind on editing.

As of Friday the 22nd, the fin skins have been printed and I can't wait to see them in person. I will be sure to do another update video when I have them and can show how they turned out!

Hello my fishes and welcome back to another blog post and vlog!

I am absolutely thrilled to say that the latest shop update/launch of my new mermaid fin skins was a big success and with this success I do plan on bringing them back again in the future alongside new designs I am working on!

In today's vlog I will take you on the launch day adventure with me and show some of the behind the scenes things that go into a launch like this.

I'm thrilled to finally be able to share the final design images for my new mermaid tail as well as all of the making-of footage that I have been collecting over the last few months!

I started working on the concepts and ideas for this tail at the very end of last year (end of November, beginning of December) and I really took my time with the design.

I took this idea in a few different directions (which you will see in the video) and I am so happy that I took the time to explore the many possibilities.

I also made a real effort (as I always do) to create something NEW and unique for my 2022 look. 💚💙

My look as a mermaid has evolved a lot over the years. I've made 3 different green and blue painted tails, 1 first gen printed tail, 2 second gen printed tails, 2 third gen, 1 fourth gen, 1 fifth gen, and 1 sixth gen.

The generations are defined by scales, level of detail, the overall timeline of my work, and the methods in which they were produced.

I picked 3 of the printed tails that I feel best represented me as a mermaid over the last few years to show alongside Chester 2.0 to give a good comparison for the overall journey and evolution my look has taken.

I can't wait to take this tail on its first swim!
