Mertailor Whimsy Tail Design

Important! Here you can only purchase your design, not the physical fluke itself! Please note that a design is excluded from exchange and return once I start working on it. Please read the following text carefully to avoid misunderstandings!

I will create your dream design - the order will then be placed on the Mertailor website. A detailed summary of the ordering process can be found here:

1. What I need from you

To begin work, a contract will be concluded between the artist and the client. Without this, I am not allowed to work with you. Therefore, please download the contract and fill out your part.

>> Contract

Tip: iovepdf.com is a great site to fill out PDF files!

I also need a detailed description of how you envision your design. Please note that 2 design changes (1st design draft + 2 design changes) are included. Each additional change costs €30. The sooner you know what you want, the happier you will be in the end. :) You are also welcome to send me pictures for inspiration!

Please send me all the information for your design using the contact form below! That way everything is together ♥

2. Which designs I exclude

I do not copy designs by other artists! This is partly due to respect for other artists, but also to the very strict copyright law in Germany. This also includes designs in the field of fan art and brand protection with logos or symbols from protected material (e.g., symbols from Harry Potter, Star Wars, etc.). These are things that I cannot and will not implement. A copyright infringement lawsuit can quickly run into the thousands and would simply be life-threatening for me. Therefore, please respect my decision not to take this risk. You can, of course, send me inspirations, but there will be clear differences in your design afterwards.

3. Size

I work with the official Mertailor Templates. These differ from common ready-to-wear sizes. Therefore, please choose your size according to the Mertailor chart. If you are unsure about your size, please contact Mertailor Customer Service, who will be happy to help you and knows the material best. ♥

4. Design

Here I would like to suggest a few things for the design draft that are worth considering and will help me implement your design! So please let me know what you envision.

• Fluke style. Currently, you have the option to choose from 5 different fluke shapes that you like best. FF1, FF2, FF3, FF4, FF5 are the different styles that belong to the Mertailor Fantasea Fins.
• Front and back. Do you want a different front and back view? Many fins are inspired by fish. Different sides are therefore very popular to make the design more realistic. Normally, I therefore start with the back, which is usually very detailed, and then reduce the design towards the front center.
• Patterns - simple gradients, light patterns like dots, or elaborate stripes and illustrations. You decide! You will find examples of the different categories in the pictures. Please choose the one that you think best suits your design. If you are unsure, feel free to contact me in advance ♥
• Blended hip. Very popular for photo shoots or underwater shots. I adapt the upper part of the fin to your skin tone. Please note that there may always be slight color deviations, as a digital design rarely looks exactly like the physical product due to different screen settings.
• Highlights on the scales - make the scales stand out even more.

5. Process

• You order your desired design and send me the contract and your design request via the contact form in a timely manner.
• Within the first week, you will receive your design draft! You can then tell me twice what changes you would like, which I will then implement.
• Once the design is finished, you will receive a design preview, which you can use to order your design directly from Mertailor.
• After your order, I will be contacted, send all print data to Mertailor, your fin will go into production and finally into shipping! :)
