Emperor Dragonfly Dragon Tail

This dragon tail has a pattern that was based on an emperor dragonfly. The base color is red, with a black pattern down the spine and an underbelly of a very shiny pink. The leather spade tip was done in a custom double-diamond shape.

The pink used here is a “Bright Anodized” aluminum that I haven’t worked with before. It’s very reflective, and does look quite nice. It’s ten times as expensive as the standard aluminum scales, so I don’t think I’ll be stocking it, but I can order it for commissions. In fact, another commission currently on my queue also is going to be using these Bright Anodized scales, but in blue, and not hidden on the underside of the tail.

This tail was for a tall person. The tail itself measures in at 35 inches, which is my standard size, but the spade tip adds about 3.5 inches onto that length. It weighs in at 3 pounds 3 ounces.

More photos of this tail are over here on my Tumblr.

Information about these tails I make is over here, though I’m currently not accepting new commissions until I finish up my current queue.
