Mertailor Eric Ducharme
Submitted by seatailsadmin on Sat, 10/22/2011 - 12:54
You may notice of late that many of the mermaid tails appearing on this site all have a distinctive signature - gorgeous, ornate and astonishingly realistic. The reason for this is simple - all are the product of the skilled hands of Eric Ducharme, the Mertailor. His work recently has just become jaw-droppingly good, and it's no accident that his tails are beginning to appear in commercials, films, and TV. I've been planning on doing a gallery of his works for a while now, but his recent tails made me feel that Eric's work needs to be showcased.

Those tails really are
Those tails really are amazing. Very nice color patterns, and the shape of the flukes are excellent too. I always liked flukes on mermaids that look like they could actually propel them through the water, and these at least look like they could.
The better-than-average
The better-than-average photography work should also be noted:
Live models are expensive to begin with, and the extra time it takes to get them costumed, located, lighted, etc. is not trivial. Also [as noted back in the day in a Tim Conway skit from the Carol Burnette show], merfolk are not able to do the splits. ;-) That somewhat limits the diversity of body positions the models can take.
Hence, the photographers have to be both good and quick in their set-ups and picture taking.
All that said: Yes, those are awesome tails (and models). I like the water work of course. I also note two others: The seventh one down (not including the post's intro shot) showing the "texture" of the scales; and the parking-lot shot showing the spectators.
