might want to invest in some shatter proof glasses o.O broken needles can put out eyes

well I wear glasses so I am semi protected, and for the most part the broken tip gets caught in the fur... one does fly on occasion...but the danger is fairly low...However, the fact the risk is fairly low does not stop me from flipping out just due to the gawd awful noise the machine makes when one breaks XD that jarring noise scars the piss outta me pffft X3

yeah i know ive broken my share of needles

x.x; ive had a needle shatter and part of the broken shaft (about 3mm behind the needle eye) lodge about 2mm from the outer corner of my eye x.x;

and the sound ... "paddadadadadadadadadadadaddadadadaBANGCLACKCLACKCLACKCRUNCH!clunkclunkcluck" x.X; not to mention the destruction of half a yard of annoyingly expensive satin x.x;

That tail looks like murder. I don't know if I want to work with faux leather. I'll just make my anthro dragon with fur and fleece.

that looks perfect Beastcub! The batted (Is that the right term?) scales turned out a lot better than I expected ^.=.^

Also the fin looks really cool (though it looks like it makes a crinkling sound xP)

it makes no sound but it did turn out kinda crinkly looking 3:

It was perfectly flat when first making it, which is done inside out, and when I turned it right side around I was like "what the flip?" my mom however says she loves it all textured looking and said flat was boring X3

no worries -- too band you cant just like blow dry it and make it shrink so its all smooth again xP

I emailed you btw, awaiting some head measurements :P

I saw -- just trying to get a means to measure it right now xP got string but no ruler or tape measure atm xP

ugh, I guess I will start the arms then while I wait :p

btw if all else fails you and kinda sorta make a ruler from paper by dividing the long side into 11 pieces.

*chuckles* Sorry; I'm out in Washington for 2 weeks (coming to an end now unfortunately) so the hotel didn't have much for me to measure with xP

btw since the quilted scales turned out better than you imagined, um are they okay for the chest too? because if yes then I will just make the chest scales sewn in and have the zipper down the back.

If you still want that strong overlap look then we will go with the original plan.

Wow that is awesome!

Interesting way to do the frills, I used different materials for the ones on my tail, I ended up sewing the leading edge of each frill to spike, in order to turn it inside out... you must have sewn the horn shapes after inverting it >.> can't do that with fur and thin suede heh. had to hot glue the other edge (but now I know a finishing stitch so I plan to go over each edge if/when the glue fails 8'D)

Yeah I had the same problem with the beltloops too, needed to be MUCH higher to hold the weight up 8'D still sinks after a while, need to reposition every couple hours :( it's the consequence of a fat tail 8'D

I need to retrofit a zipper in it next time I go to FC though, otherwise I can't transport it XD

Beautiful fin! The shape looks just like the customer's fursona; so shiny and big. ^___^

that looks like a beautiful job!!! n.n

so you wouldn't recommend that type of material for a fullsuit? :P I'm trying to figure out what to make my dragon suit out of XD

That is a fantastic dragon tail right there.

it looks like the tail of furnace
