wow. just wow. all those details are so amazing, from the tiny scales to all of the fins. (I remember the "no extra bitties no sidezip" era and it's been a journey.)
You got the texture on the tail PERFECTLY RIGHT!!! I know exactly how it would feel if I were to touch it. I adore all the sparkles and scales!!! This is seriously one of the most incredible tails I've ever seen
Thank you so much Courtney for taking the time to take us behind the scenes of creating your amazing tails! FYI "Digital Art" is ART! It takes hours to master it and is the 'next generation' of art and you are superior at it. Congratulations on Chester 2.0!
Wow wow I am getting emotional!! I vividly remember watching the vlog where you brought home your first printed tail back in the day and thinking how revolutionary it was. Getting to see your craft evolve over the years has been such a pleasure, and if I ever get my hands on one of your tails one day it'll be my most cherished piece of art. Thank you for sharing the making of your newest Chester!!!!!!
Courtney you are the best in the business. A custom tail from you is my dream tail. I love that you say you think of this art as spiritual. That’s a sign of true passion.
This is definitely one of my favorites of your personal tails. The small scales are incredible. The blending on the fins is truly the best of any mermaid tail creators.
I absolutely love how organic look this tail as evolved into. abshellutly love all the different accent of fins ans depth in texture & colors. Fabulous work !🙌🏽💙
Masterpiece 🤩👌! There's no way this is not the final evolution; it can't be possible to top this perfection 😮🧜♀️ so happy for you and how far you've come on your tail journey. You are an extraordinary artist, digital art is real art and this is magic 👩🎨✨
I absolutely love being able to watch this whole process. Anyone can see how much love and magic you put into your work. Absolutely breathtaking. I hope Chester brings you many wonderful swims.
I've always always loved the front ankle fin look!! So fun to see you do this here. Also the intentionality and the spirituality is such a great thing. A mermaid's tail is so important and soulful in so many ways. I always end up coming back to the selkie myth - these tails are in a real way our seal skins and they give us freedom and independence and incandescent joy. So important.
You're an absolute diamond Courtney! You have been my inspiration from Day One and I'm so proud of your journey, and very honoured that you have shared it with us all these years. Congratulations on your success my Sister of the Sea❣️
I am so grateful that you stressed the process and that it takes time to get a thing right. I am s-t-rrrrruuuuggling through a project right now and it was very encouraging to see you tweak your design until you got it right. This tail is soooo incredible! Thank you for sharing the journey!
Chester 2.0 came out amazing! So much love and experience were poured into this rendition and it really paid off. Congrats Courtney on the new addition to your tail family!
This is amazing. And inspiring. And I am in awe of your unique type of art. Magically making wishes come true. I'm happy you also show that making the dreams come true for yourself is also valid and cherished. You deserve that, merm!
Gorgeous Inspiring work Courtney! The whole process just looks incredible I am blown away by your dedication and talent. Even getting the Chester printed on a canvas what a beautiful way to enjoy your work, I am keen to print designs like this
I am so obsessed with everything about this tail and it has been such a pleasure to watch this come to reality. This is also one of my favourite videos next to ur silicone unboxing and first swim💕❤️ so beyond Happy for u Courtney!!
Seeing this process was absolutely fascinating and wonderful to watch! I want to try my hand at this someday, and videos like this encourage me to try. 💙
This tail is so incredible, I aspire to create something like this one day. great job on the fins! they look amazing, and the points you created are so impressive
This has inspired me so much!! Definitely going to get a copy of your ebooks soon and try making my own! It's amazing seeing the evaluation of Chester! Such a gorgeous tail! 😍💚💙
@@CourtneyMermaid Seeing your digital process was so much fun! As was the sewing part! would love to see more of both of those! Can't wait to see the tail swim in action! My favorite video yet! :) Congrats on your new level of amazing art! :)
II would love to see more of the digital designing! Specifically how to add texture and blend to get these beautiful and realistic looking designs. This is something I have been struggling with and attempting to learn on my own.
Very cool. It's very interesting seeing a mermaid tail come to life from start to finish. Also, I absolutely love Chester 2.0. The texturing details are absolutely amazing and it's so nice seeing how your skills improved from rather simple/cartoony to more realistic tails over the years. Personally, I'm not a very big fan of so many fins, but I love the wavey hem/shape you gave them here, as that is usually how I draw mermaid fins too. Very nice, well done. Can't wait to see the swimming footage with that tail ^^👌🏻💕🧜🏻♀️
Thank you so much fishie! I really wanted to push myself with this tail and see exactly how far I could take Chester while still keeping the original magic alive! 💚💙
Haha thank you so much! It wasn't even part of the plan, I was just being goofy but when I looked back it was the moment I liked best and decided to use it for the thumbnail! 💚💙
Absolutely gorgeous!!! My favorite colors too! You really nailed it! Your going to so beautiful 😍 in it! Thanks for sharing g your incredible talent! Luv lots!
I love this more natural looking tails, the only thing I can think that could improve them, is by putting something stiff inside the dark lines, the outer edge of the small fins somehow so that they dont collapse and kind of hold them open. I think that would be really cool. Depends on what you like ofc though. But amazing job at this
Awesome to see more of the design process. This always seems like witchery to me while the sewing part would propably be ok for me. I love the realistic spin to your recent tails and you surely have improved since i have been following along. Do you also create tails for EU mers?
Chester 2.0 is soooo beautiful!!!! I love the small details and placement of the fins!! I'm soo happy I got to see this video right away. Are you going to be making any of it available for others to buy??
10:25 dude... To anyone who thinks digital art is easy... I literally had to relearn how to use my hand when i switched over! If you don't believe me, try to write your signature on your phone with some kind of doodling app! Youll quickly learn that it is NOT AS EASY AS IT LOOKS Honestly the two advantages you get are just layers and an undo button, and that only goes so far
What a gorgeous tail! I adore all the little finnies 😍 painstaking but worth it! I can’t wait to see you swim in it, I bet it looks exquisite in the water!
Hi, how do you print this and what fabric to you use to print this on? And how do you make sure the tail's size is correct so it's not loose nor it it too tight to the point the print starts stretching
It's okay if you don't want to answer this, but I would really appreciate it if you would. What kind of device do you use when you are using photoshop? I have been drawing my designs using Clip Studio Paint on my Samsung Galaxy tab, but I feel like it really isn't designed to handle that kind of program (everything comes out kind of grainy). Thank you so much for this video Courtney! It inspired me to keep going with tail-making; I have made one so far, but I would love to move from painting to digital rendering eventually. ❤❤
Yes fish! I'm using the Wacom 16 Cintiq (the small one) and I love it! It's one of my all-time FAVE purchases! Here is an affiliate link if you would like to check it out: amzn.to/381Yvhz
Are you taking orders? I am a big lady but have been looking for a tail that fits my size and reasonably affordable. Or would love to learn how to make my own if you’re not taking orders. I love your videos and you are one of my favorite creators that I recently found and followed. This has been a passion of mine since I was only 4 swimming for hours and hour in my parents hot-tub & swim pools. My biggest dream was to be a mermaid. 🧜🏼♀️ Now that it has become so real in society it gives me hope and dedication. From one artist to another your work IS art!
Wow you are a great artist in creating mermaid tails no wonder why i idolize you , 😊😊🥰🥰How i wish i can buy a mermaid tail chester from you my idol im your fan a transgender L.g.b.t.q.i.a. plus from manila Philippines 🇵🇭 .how much does it cost so ill do my math to know how much it is in Philippine peso curency . 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤
Want to learn how to make your own fabric mermaid tail? I have eBooks available over at www.ShopVancouverMermaid.com! 📚🧜♀

Love love lovvvveee (I’m a spikey fin fanatic , that dorsal is so calling to me)
You're my teacher💕
You need a channel dedicated to "Organization ASMR".. because wow
Awesome to see more of the design process. This always seems like witchery to me while the sewing part would propably be ok for me. I love the realistic spin to your recent tails and you surely have improved since i have been following along. Do you also create tails for EU mers?
Really amazing I wish you did more videos. I see this one once about a year old and your other ones are about two.
More videos are coming! Thank you for enjoying my content!

Thank you so much! This one is just for me and my mersona! 😉💚💙
woahh its like the lucia fin regularly inspires people to make the most beautiful fabric tails
I inspire me to make this design. The Lucia is the platform I chose. 🙂
Omg I love it
Thank you!!

I am new here just watched your vidoe. Amazing tail it's beautiful.
I need one really badly
What a gorgeous tail! I adore all the little finnies 😍 painstaking but worth it! I can’t wait to see you swim in it, I bet it looks exquisite in the water!
The swimming video is coming soon!! Thank you fishie!
Wow it is so cool!!! But how do you print it?
Chester 2.0 is the true siren version of the Vancouver Mermaid 🧜🏻♀️🧜🏻♀️🧜🏻♀️
Wow it’s beautiful and where do you go to get it printed and how if you can tell me?
Hi, how do you print this and what fabric to you use to print this on? And how do you make sure the tail's size is correct so it's not loose nor it it too tight to the point the print starts stretching
Hey Courtney I was wondering how you print your tails
how many yards of fabric should i purchase of the fabric?
Beautiful! May I check out the price to get the same tail?
This is an amazing tail what is the tail fluke?
hello, do you have a video explaining the how to make design on photoshop? Like what you have to do on photoshop before printing??
I did talk about it in this video, but are you looking for something more specific? I could always make another video on it in the future!
@@CourtneyMermaid i brought ur ebook on how to make the tail but it a bit confusing maybe it has something to do with me being a visual learner
you really motivated me to start making my own tail but what material did you use? And also how did you print your art on to fabric?
I've created a series of tutorial eBooks over the years that can be found here: vancouvermermaid.gumroad.com/
@@CourtneyMermaid Thank you!
What fabric do you print it on? Also, where do you print them?
It’s Polyester/Spandex and the process is called sublimation printing
@@CourtneyMermaid that’s cool
It's okay if you don't want to answer this, but I would really appreciate it if you would. What kind of device do you use when you are using photoshop? I have been drawing my designs using Clip Studio Paint on my Samsung Galaxy tab, but I feel like it really isn't designed to handle that kind of program (everything comes out kind of grainy).

do you by chance sell any scale sheets?
I have digital scales in my shop (www.shopvancouvermermaid.com)
