Mermaid Fin tutorial! This is just how I do it though, thought it would be helpful to have out there with Mermay started!
If this does well I might do some more if it’s wanted!

Do you think you could do more tutorials? Or show more speedpaints so that people will get a better understanding of how you shade, sketch, etc? Hopefully this isn’t too much or anything like that!
Oh absolutely! I regret not recording a timelapse for my previous pieces, so I decided to illustrate a Mermaid Ghost, a Smile Dog Jester, and an Archangel Dungeon
Along with timelapse videos of each one.

Tutorial: How to pose mermaids in the Sims 4
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A tutorial how to pose mermaids in the Sims 4. With the story I had to learn it and I got to know a few things. I really want to share it with you to make it easier and less challenging ♥️🥰
There are 2 ways to change into a mermaid form for poses, with MCCC and letting your Sim swim in water to transform. Let your Sim finish the salto animation before teleporting them.
Important to know is that:
1. With MCCC you can do it before and after posing.
2. With the swim option you must do the transformation before posing. Otherwise there is no tail and you have to queue all the poses again.
I also have 3 tips for taking submerged or underwater photos. This is useful to know for normal Sims too! 💪

I've had this timelapse gathering dust on my hard drive. Thought it about time to share a really speed up process video of my "Morwenna" painting.
This painting was the result of me studying the work of William Waterhouse
Please let me know if you'd like me to share more about my creative process.

Cosplay ear fins tutorial
I made ear fins for an Eridan cosplay, and a lot of people asked how I made them. I haven’t seen anyone else doing the same method I used, so I thought I’d share.
I started out with some wire. I don’t know the exact gauge off the top of my head, but I don’t think it particularly matters as long as it’s thick enough to hold its shape but thin enough to shape with your hands/pliers. Cutting up a sturdy wire coat hanger would probably give you workable material.
Tumblr media
Here are the bases I made. I put some paper over my ears first and sketched a loose outline to get the size I wanted, but I didn’t end up following it too closely. It was mostly a lot of trial and error. I decided on four tines for each ear fin, but you could do a different amount or longer tines if you want. I used round nose and needle nose pliers to shape the wire, but I mostly used my hands and you could probably do this project without pliers if you don’t have them. The ends are curled to avoid stabbing myself in the ear with wire. You want the ear fins to go in front of your ears, and then the wire at the ends loops around the back of your ears to hold them in place. Getting this right took a lot of trying them on and adjusting them, but I eventually got them to where they would stay on without any adhesive but didn’t squeeze my ears too badly.
Next, cut up some old pantyhose/tights to get nylon material. You don't need too much material for this, so sock-style pantyhose would be enough. I happened to have some old tights with holes in them so I just cut out some non-holey pieces. I used black tights since it was the closest I had to gray. You’ll color over these later, but try to get a base shade as close to your desired ear color as possible to make things easier later on. I wouldn’t recommend buying new tights in the exact color you want since that’s expensive and wasteful, so you’ll probably be choosing between black, beige, and maybe white, but just keep in mind that you’ll have to color over it and the coloring method isn't completely opaque. Like, don't use black tights if you want white ears.
Stretch the nylon over the wire bases. I used a roughly square piece of nylon for each ear and folded it in half, then scrunched the excess to pull it tight and used binder clips to hold the material in place. Then use a thread in the color you want the ears to be and sew along the whole open edge of the nylon, anchoring it to the wire frame as shown below. Keep the nylon stretched tight over the tines while sewing so it has those divots in between tines. Cut off excess material and sew the raw edges down.
Tumblr media
Try the ears on again and adjust as needed.

Paint the fabric with Mod Podge (I used matte but I think other finishes would work too.) Take extra care to spread the Mod Podge around the sewn edges to really glue things in place. Wait for the Mod Podge to dry on the nylon. This creates a hard, chalkboard-like surface that you can color on, but keeps some of the transparency of the nylon. I used a combination of chalk, pastels, and eyeshadow powder to color the ears. If you’re going for ears that match your skin tone, foundation powder would probably work. I was just using whatever art supplies I had around, but any powdery pigment should do the job.
I started with white chalk all over the surface to lighten the black color into grey. Then I used white pastel to make highlight lines on the top of each tine and black pastel to make shadow lines below each tine. This added some definition and made the tines look more three dimensional. I filled the spaces between tines with some purple pastel, which I blended into the grey shade with my finger. I then put a layer of shimmery purple eyeshadow over it to give it a nice sheen.
Tumblr media
Once you’re done coloring the ears, seal the whole thing with some hairspray and you’re ready to go! You could probably also add some earrings to them if that’s the look you’re going for.
Tumblr media
Here’s my final result! I was able to wear a mask with them and they were relatively comfortable to wear all day. Let me know if you have any questions and if you try this tutorial, definitely send me pictures of the results!

I love/hate when art tutorials will decided they are the authority on drawing something that doesn’t exists.
“if your draw mermaid like this, it’s wrong…”
Bitch, they aren’t real.
