Description
Page #9 of my mermaid drawing guide.This one deals with the mermaid's tail fins. You can use just about any type of fish's tail fin for your mermaids.
Even fin designs that look like a fish that doesn't even exist. Just as long as the fins aren't shaped in a way that looks overly simple or silly.

I thought of doing Siamese fighting fish merpeople, only the mermen have longer extra fins, like the male Siamese fighting fishes.

I am working on a mermaid with fins all the way up about the final 1/5 or so of her snakey middle tail bit. I'm using a mostly tripod fish like fin arrangement. Does this make any difference, in your opinion, as to whether it is a mermaid or not?

hi there. I have a question. I like giving my merpeople feet that look like flippers and a tail that is representative of their breed of sea creature. Does that still count as a mermaid, or would that be considered something different ?

Hmmmm.......interesting.........I think it depends on exactly what type of sea creature. If the mermaid is a scaled fish with fins from the waist down, that is certainly a mermaid in my book. If animal half was a mammal like a seal, whale, or dolphin, I'd say that would be of an offshoot mermaid like a selkie(for seals, walruses, sea lions, etc.), or a triton(for whales and dolphins).
