Let's Say Someone Happened To Make The Pattern Flat, Then Turn It Into A Tube, How Would That Work?

Let's say someone happened to make the pattern flat, then turn it into a tube, how would that work?

It would be hard. I’ve ranted about this before, I don’t want to talk your ear off too much. There are a lot of points where you could easily make a mistake on the seam, which be really hard to identify and fix. You’d then really just have to stuff the tail with something to keep it round, since you wouldn’t be able to easily add internal supports as you went.

Hello, I am wondering if you could do a Dutch Angel Dragon tail and how much would it cost

You’d have to be more specific about what exactly you’re thinking of. If it’s just a matter of a specific pattern of scales on the tail, it wouldn’t affect the price. If you wanted more complicated details like big spine spikes or a fluffy tail tip, we’d have to have a non-anonymous conversation to figure out how your desires compared to my capabilities.

How many scales does it take to complete the average sized dragon tail?

About 400 scales for the full-length tails.

Some materials I’ve been toying with. I was vending at a small convention over the weekend, and I made a few new things for it.

The first is titanium scales. I’ve been making flame-colored bracelets for a while, which are the three on the left. (The darker one I tried heating from the back, to see if I could get or liked a more even coloration. It was pretty consistent, but it wasn’t a very interesting color. Oh well.) Recently I got anodized titanium scales, which are absolutely beautiful. These ones were made with a random assortment of colors, which I rather enjoyed. I need to get some more photos of them, then they’ll go up on my Etsy page. So far I’ve just got green anodized listed. 

Below is two bronze necklaces. The pattern is a very tight spiral weave configuration referred to as Jens Pind Linkage. Bronze is fun to me because it oxidizes so nicely. The shiny one is brand new, freshly woven, and the dark one is after 2 weeks of continual wear. I think it’s mostly reached a steady color now? It darkened most of the way within a few days.

A tribal filigree mask I designed last year sometime but hadn’t gotten photos of! I like the relative scale between the size of the mask and the swirling slashes of holes cut into it. I’m just generally fond of designs where the primary component is the negative space.

So yeah. This design wasn’t specifically trying to depict anything in particular, it’s more just emulating the sort of tribal tattoo aesthetic that you see floating around all the time. The curling projections on the edges are kind of flame-like, or maybe they’re horns.

Whenever I’m taking photos I always joke around with my friends models. Otherwise, if you just put a camera in someone’s face, they end up just looking uncomfortable. But sometimes I like the silly photos more than the “good” ones.

I just posted this design up for sale on my Etsy shop, with the more “professional” photos.
