aborted tail commission

So I had another commission for a yellow brass tail. I started on it at the same time I ordered more yellow brass scales, because I didn't have all that many left. Then I learn that The Ring Lord (the company that makes the scales) has decided to stop making yellow brass scales. And I can't get enough to finish this commission.

So, unfortunately it looks like this is an aborted tail. It was showing such great potential! And then its growth was cruelly cut short.

Aborted tail in front made of yellow brass and stainless steel, fully grown tail in back made of aluminum with yellow brass detailing.
