This Dragon Tail Has A Golden Flame Pattern To It. Made Of Anodized Aluminum Scales, Mostly Yellow/gold

This dragon tail has a golden flame pattern to it. Made of anodized aluminum scales, mostly yellow/gold with some orange and red. And it has a spade tip made of fluorescent orange acrylic plastic.

It measures in at 32 inches long without the spade tip, 35 with it, and weighs 2 lbs 15 oz.

I’d fallen a bit behind, but nearly finished up March’s commissions in time. I’ve got 2 more tails incoming.

Leather outfit I made for Magic Meat Week back in November, and I did post it then, but didn’t get nicer photos until more recently. So it’s going up for @magicmeatmarch! I was trying to go for a dark rogue/thief sort of aesthetic, but I think it needs some sort of asymmetric holster/strap arrangement to really sell the look. Something to stick a dagger, or a bunch of smoke bombs, or what have you.

I’m pretty busy this month with a pile of commissions, but I’ve got a few days of waiting at the moment to get more materials in, so maybe I’ll be able to work on that now. I’m a bit low on ideas too, though, so if anyone has an idea for how the straps should go to maximize the beefcakiness of this getup, feel free to scribble your thoughts on one of these photos and shoot it back to me!

Been cranking out these tassels for a dragon tail commission. But man they go slow. I’m averaging like 1.5 per episode of anime. 11 down, 4 more to go, and then I can finally start building this tail. I’m happy with the binding I worked out for these, but if I end up offering these as a standard option I’m really going to need to invest in crimping equipment.

Oh and once my paycheck and rent checks clear I’m making a custom order for large anodized titanium scales, so I’m excited about that. But that also means I need to dig out like 5 conversations that I kinda dropped out on where people had asked about titanium for tails, so that’s a pile of mental energy I’m going to have to dredge up in the next couple days. 

And I also need to head in to laser cut in the next few days. I need to cut a single mask. So really that means I need to figure out what other stuff I can productively cut so it’s not quite such a wasted trip. 

Crafting can be tiresome sometimes. It sometimes feels like I do nothing but fall behind and try to catch up. And man I’m tired of having cash-flow problems.

Here’s the second dragon tail commission to upload for the day! This one is anodized aluminum, black with speckled green and a green underbelly. 

It measures in at 29 inches long and 2 lbs 10 oz.

Did I never post this? It looks like I never posted this.

These are the Tiny sized scales from The Ring Lord. I got a pack or two to experiment with. And man they’re pretty, but man they’re not for me. They take forever. Where the typical bracelets I make take about 2 dozen scales, the same length of tiny scales takes about a hundred scales. And the tiny rings were super tedious to work with.

Basically, for the amount of time it takes to make something with these tiny scales, I don’t think I can sell them at a price that I think someone would pay. Though if I ever end up starting to work with precious metals, I’d use these.

These ones are “frost” colored anodized aluminum. The size comparison is green anodized titanium.

I’ve got a dragon tail to sell! It’s red with black on the spine, with an underbelly of pink bright aluminum scales. Very shiny!

This tail had been made for a commissioner, who then was unable to pay. It’s been sitting in my room for a while, and it’s time to cash it in!

The commissioner had wanted a leather spade tip with a custom shape, which I made, but I didn’t really like it, so instead I’m offering it with both the arrow and heart shapes, but in acrylic plastic rather than the leather that most people get. 

It’s for sale over on my Etsy page! Jump on it quick, before that other guy gets it!

I do hope to open up for commissions in not too long, but I need to finish dealing with a few projects currently owed to people.
