Figure I would post a topic just for general Wyrm chatting, nothing specific.
I removed some posts from auction just to de-clutter the thread and keep it to bids, but thank you to those commenting that they like the fantail. GT, thank you, the feathers worked splendidly!
Sandy, it would be amazing! Honestly, it's not going to happen on a Standard. There just isn't enough room, not to get the gears to show up properly. Even the peacock feather eye in the fantail doesn't 'register' like I'd hoped it would, the body is simply too narrow for a wide circle shape to show up well, particularly using long pile fur. Now, a Great Wyrm or Leviathan, sure! The side to side body width is much bigger, and would allow for something like that.
Tyr, nah, no crying here. I'm not crazy enough to try that sort of pattern on a general Wyrm. If I did gears on a tesla, it would be a Great or Levi Tesla, and you can be DARN sure that baby would be an auction. I've chatted with suit makers who have attempted to sew gears before, and the horrific tales of madness and weeping have convinced me to neeeeeeever try such a thing on a flat rate Wyrm. Got to make sure I can pay for the psychiatrist and padded room when the bloody thing is done, right? ;D
