Preview and Possible?

First, the possible.

I know that scales in a wide variety are highly sought. So I want to keep making scales that meet all possible needs. However, sometimes, getting scaling to match up at the seams is, to be blunt, a right pain in the ass. I've also seen times were people don't mind, because it's one of those things that have to be seen up close.

So, I'm considering making a line that is scaling, with smooth and easy fades, that allows the seams to be shown. As you can see. Anyone who would like this tattoo FREE!! ... Drop me a NC/IM stating that you would like the 'Scale Fade Series' and what base color scales you would like. (I have new scale patterns to play with. There's even some with algae on them.) I might even be convinced to build a mer tail.... if someone would like to sponsor it... (I'm a cheap sponsor. I promise.)

Now, for the PREVIEW...

I had an idea. Inspired even. Then promptly looked through marketplace to check that it wasn't overdone. And it's not. So! I will soon present... Fantasy Freckles...

True to my typical form, they will be copy/mod/no trans and set in white so that you can tint them to whatever color needs you may have. There will be Heavy (full body), Medium (Partial), and Light (Minimal).  And, as always, you will be welcome to contact to get something customized out of it to fit your specific needs if unable to accomplish with what is provided (for example, if you decide you want a light face, medium torso and heavy legs all in one tattoo...).

Freckles should be out by the end of the week. Fading scales will be based upon demand/interest.

Have other fantasy or custom requests or ideas? Feel free to drop me a thought. If I use your idea to create a tattoo, I'll send you a copy free before posting to marketplace.

Preview: New Scales Tattoo

I'm super excited about this scale tattoo and hoping some people feel like sharing any avs they create from them. Keep watching, I might have a way for the first few buyers to get free tattoos.


The scales come in three styles. If you have a viewer 2 or later, you can use the 'add' feature to add up to three of any clothing item (such as tattoos) so you can use each style alone, or mixed together for a more filled out look.

Then, per norm, my tattoos will be copy/mod, so you can color/tint them to any special need you might have. Part of my excitement is the wonderful surprise of how adaptable this pattern is. I have others I may release later, with special preview to previous buyers. I plan to include the hex code for the tinted color I used to match the skins below, found on marketplace for 0L at:

Who's ready for this? Oh yeah.

MerScales: Comparison & Preview:Scale Series

I'm working on another scale tattoo. I'm having fun with it, but realized an important question... What color should I make it? So I went to see what color of my mer scales seemed to be enjoyed the most. Answer: White. By a long shot. I assume that this is because of the ability to color tint to specific needs. To investigate this, I did a number of snapshots. I did the tattoo layer white, then tinted undershirt, shirt, jacket and gloves to different colors, saved them, prepared for the shoot and snapped off a number of pictures. I changed the skin color and did another round of shots. Then I added the white tattoo layer as a background with the clothing layers over the top and did another series. And finally I did a series with the original mer scale types.

Black skin. Dark red tint, bright red tint, blue tint and medium purple.

I did wait for them to rez in. Somehow, there is still a lot of detail lost.

Same as above, but with the white tattoo under to boost the difference.

The originals, found on marketplace.

 Which is better... tinted scales, or the originals? Your call. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/60609
