hey these little sea creature charms are so cute and what the hell is that

?????????

#I mean logically I know what happened here #it was a mermaid tail disappearing into a wave #and its first iteration probably didn't have a face printed on it

I'm here. I'll never leave you. I'll never leave again. I'm here. I'm here. You're safe.

(don’t talk to me about the editing I tried my best)

#ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd s2 spoilers #knitting tag #for absolutely winging it with zero planning that mermaid tail turned out perfectly

I want to be excited for the live action Little Mermaid so badly

The Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney movie. Anyone who knows me knows I'm obsessed with mermaids as a whole and will watch any media that has them. Hell, I own my own tails and monofins. But every time I see a gif or a video for the new Little Mermaid, I cringe

(btw, this is NOT because of the casting. If you're against this movie because Ariel is black, you're a racist piece of shit and this post isn't for you)

My issue lies with the CGI. It just looks so FAKE. We've seen through the course of movies and TV shows that use it that CGI does not age well, and that's because technology is constantly improving. What was impressive in 2005 is not impressive in 2023 (Just look at Aquamarine, another movie about mermaids). And the CGI on Ariel and her sisters already looks fake and the movie isn't even out yet!

Compare this image from the trailer

To this screenshot from H20: Just Add Water (a TV show that came out in 2006):

You can see the details of the scales in the second image

The first image is flat. Sure, it's colorful, but it's flat. It's fake. Halle herself is the most beautiful and alive part of the image, because everything else is fake

The difference?

H20 had costume designers, ones specifically trained in mermaid tail making, HAND CRAFT every tail on the show. All of the scales were hand laid, all the tails molded to fit the actors/actresses perfectly, painted by hand

Let's even look at someone with no affiliation to TV or movies:

This is Mermaid Linden, a very well known (in the mermaid community) professional mermaid. You can tell her tail is not as high quality as the ones made for H20 (though it's still a VERY expensive tail) - but it still looks like it's a part of her. You can still see the details. Because professional mermaid tails are also all handmade and molded to fit each person. Even if they don't lay every individual scale, good professional mermaid tail makers are very meticulous about what they do.

This is what happens when Disney refuses to pay practical effects artists. We could have had beautiful, handmade tails that would look real on screen for decades to come and could be reused for promotional purposes - instead, they're underpaying and overworking their non-unionized employees to make CGI tails that don't even look real now.

(to be clear, I'm not shitting on the artists. As I said, they're being underpaid and overworked. This is not their fault)

And before anyone comes and says "But swimming in those is difficult!" Absolutely it is. You should never swim in a professional level tail (or even just fabric tails) without practice and training. Which Disney could have given the cast if they were willing to PAY people (the cast of H20 [a TV SHOW] literally learned how to be mermaids on set. It's been done before)

Disney's "Live Action" needs to be rebranded as "CGI with some real people tossed in" because that's all any of these remakes have been, and it's exhausting when I look at what we could have had.

#tlm #the little mermaid #h20 #disney #mermaids #professional mermaids #also trust me when i say i think all cgi mermaid tails look bad #but for some reason these ones just look so much worse #we saw the same thing happen with the 'live action' lion king #the lions looked SO BAD #but then you look at like???? aslan from chronicle of narnia????? which was made YEARS before the lion king #and he looked more realistic #and its disneys fault bc they WONT PAY PEOPLE

"Neverland" Tail

This mermaid tail is one that I've had on the back burner for a while, but I finally got around to finishing it! It's inspired by the mermaids from the original Peter Pan and it's available for Teen-Elder, masculine and feminine frames.

At some point, I'll be converting them for children and they'll be added to the list of available child tails in my Expanded Mermaids mod! :)

Public Release: April 9th, 2024

I saw @chandlelures ‘s lineart on the @dca-coloring-book blog and I thought it was so pretty I wanted to color it

But also sorry I had no idea what to do with the background 😭

[ID/ Digital fanart of Sun and Moon from Five Nights At Freddy's Security Breach. They are depicted as a mermaid and jellyfish like creatures respectively. Sun is in the lower half of the drawing, body turned away from the viewer. His head is turned slightly away from the viewer, but he looks towards them with a happy expression. In his hands is a fish with sad, tearful eyes, and implied to become Sun's next meal soon. The upper half of the drawing is of Moon, gazing down upon the viewer with an unreadable expression. Around both characters are moon jellyfish, floating along the ocean's current. They look like they’ve been watercolored, Moon in blue and purple and sun in pinks, yellows, and reds. /End ID]

#I probably missed some details #I don’t know how to make jpeg files transparent to use as lineart so everything had to be colored on top of the lineart unfortunetly #I love moons jelly fish tail it’s so pretty #all the details ❤️💕 #fnaf daycare attendant #sundrop #moondrop #mermaid au #fanartception #my art #trying a different coloring style with this #mixed feelings on the outcome but maybe I need to practice more with it
