No doubt. The moment scales and fins obscure the look of two legs it's going to pretty much read fantasy creature no matter what colors, stripes or fin shapes are involved. Do you think you will alter the appearance of your blue tail in the future?

I don't think so. We don't have tailmakers that good in Europe and it would cost me too much to ship my tail internationaly for a new paint job.Originally Posted by Keiris
This is why I have the pressure that it has to be perfect.
Hahaha self-imposed perfectionalism! I know THAT song and dance too well being an artist! I perfectly understand. Plus, if you're going to spend a big chunk of money it should be perfect. Who would you want to design it? The work out there does make it hard to choose.
I understand thinking that it would be fair if Ash got it, but anyone could always purchase a tail if they have the money for it. I have the impression that Ash will get a tail, but this tail is clearly a very special tail and I want a shot at it too. Additionally, we don't even know yet whether or not measurements will be right for either of us anyway! Regardless, Raven said she's always wanted to put one of her original designs to auction and this is the perfect chance. If she sells it, she'll be auctioning it. Its fair for everyone who wants it AND Raven. The tail was $3,650.00, but with an auction she'll more than likely get a chunk more than that as compensation for her incredible mastery of her craft. After putting it on auction, there isn't even a way to guarantee Ash or I will get it. This is good for Raven though, and if I don't get it I'll just commission something similar (but not too similar) from her when she has some slots available. This isn't about winning, and although I do like to be fair I consider this more of an art auction. I apologize if any of that seems heartless, but it's quite the opposite for me. I love the way that tail looks and I would be doing a disservice to myself by not pursuing it. I would probably regret it for a long time, and regret sucks. If I loose an auction, then at least I know I tried and had shot just as fair as everyone else's. Or maybe i'm just a mean person in denial.
That makes sense. You're totally right. I apologize as well because I didn't mean to make you feel bad. Just like you, I like things to be fair so we actually are sharing a mutual interest. An auction seems a good idea. I wish good luck to anyone participating.

I agree, auction. It gives everyone who would want it a fair shot at it.

I think the auction is a good idea cause, just chucking it out there, I kinda want that tail too and I don't think it's fair at all to be calling dibs on it through a forum site that not all of her clients use. Email, slightly different matter and on that note you two won't likely have to worry about me too much because I'm on the larger side when it comes to tails. I love looking at all the pretty tails Raven is reselling but they're all miles too small for me. I would love it if it fit, and was within my budget but at the same time I doubt it will happen just because of the sizing.
Yeah, we really do need to know sizing. (If she is even selling it)

Lol Raina typos. XD *She's planning on doing a photo shoot with it before she puts up any information about the potential auction.
omg whoops hahahah *goes to fix* hahahah whoops
I'm surprised she doesn't put other tails up for auction rather than announce them up for grabs on fb.

I talked to raven about buying the tail already but i cant pay that much right now, so i wish you all goodluck with a fair battle of the bids lol.
she doesnt have time. she's been considering going this wya for a while now though, so hopefully she does.
Eee!! So excited! Day 171 after ordering from Raven :3 updated my address with her and she's promising pictures soon! I think I might pop!
Good luck to everyone bidding on the tail if I goes up for auction (^^ that dragon tail is beyond gorgeous
P.S. She used two of my photos! :P
