A commissioner special-ordered these large anodized titanium scales from The Ring Lord and sent them to me to construct a tail from. Before I started the tail, though, I put together some test patches. The way the titanium gets the colored means that there's a lot of variation from one scale to the next--there's even a good variation across a lot of scales.

There's a nice green; an aqua green-ish color that varies between cyan through green to dark purple; a light purple; a light blue; and a dark blue.

I really loved working with these colors. If I had extra cash lying around to make a personal project with, I'd seriously consider special ordering a bunch of them, but even just the normal titanium is rather expensive, and I don't know how much this guy spent on the anodizing. Oh well.
