10/19/2016 Update: I have officially found a texture artist who will help me with this project! Hello everyone! I have created this thread looking for a talented texture artist to help me with a merfolk project I am currently working on. The tail itself is, as the title indicates, inspired by Flounder from Disney's 1989 animated film, The Little Mermaid! The model of the tail, currently for adult males only*, is largely finished and in a playable state! All I need now are Diffuse, Normal, Specular and Shadow maps for it! I have attempted to create my own diffuse map, but I have never been impressed by my own attempts at texturing. Here is a WIP version of my diffuse texture in-game: (The white fingers are due to a texture error which will be fixed before the official release!) If you are willing to create a detailed and colorable GIMP-friendly texture for this tail, I would highly appreciate it! Normal, specular and shadow maps would also be highly appreciated, but I can generate those myself if you are not willing to make them yourself. I will send you the UV map as well as my WIP diffuse texture (in .xcf format) if you volunteer, and you will be credited for your work! Thank you so much for reading, and good fortune to you in your current and future endeavors! *Once the male version of the tail is 100% finished, I will begin work on converting it for male children, as well as child and adult females.

Good news! Tithis String -- a very talented artist from Second Life and dear friend of mine -- has volunteered to help me texture the tail! Merman Simmer, I will let you know if I ever need additional help. Thank you for your willingness to support the project!

I am really, REALLY sorry for the late reply, and especially for how long this project has taken me. The truth is, I was waiting for the artist who volunteered to create the texture to...well...create the texture, but he never did. As I waited and waited, my interest in the project declined, and, to this day, it remains unfinished. However, with my growing experience with 3D modeling and texturing, I will attempt to tackle future projects on my own. As for this one in particular...I've kind of lost interest in it. But, I plan on creating a totally new tail, and one that has better proportions than this one. (And yes, it will be for both males and females.) I may return to this particular project in the future, but no guarantees.
