I made the new tail using spare fur, hence the color combo of butterscotch and white tip to test a new pattern that has the curves built into it with light stuffing.

It holds it's shape fairly well as is. But I got the dimensions wrong and the tail tip pattern wrong.

The tail tip wound up looking like a whoopee cushion! And the diameter of the main tail was insanely large. The whole thing is embarrassing.

It's been reworked. That's why I used the fur that I normally would not use in a lion design as it was "extra" stuff. The white fur is cheap stuff I got on Ebay. Still furry though.

The next image will be the reworked design.
