Bringing my old magpie character back, and in the process I cooked up a new arm/wing design for her.
** A tintable version of these wings are for sale at http://slurl.com/secondlife/FurNati...../128/128/3523/
As you can see, only the white feathers are flexible. Each one has it's own flexi attributes. The shorter the feather, the more tension the flexi prim has until it blends in with the rest of the wing. This design reduces the amount of flexi prims and alpha flickering most arm/wing attachments have.

Uuugh.. You're probably the 6th or 7th person who's said to me today after seeing the wings. x_x
While I don't want to appear as though I'm going "OMG flexi prims on arm wings are © me me me!" the design is such a minor change from most of the wings out there that someone may be bound to recreate it without even realizing it. I just happen to be picky with how my SL wings and feathers actually move. I do hope I can keep this design for myself to set me apart from the rest, but as with any new concept in SL, some creators (not naming names ^^) won't hesitate to apply it to their own work as they've done countless times before. It's just a part of SL business life. :S

Saw you wearing these at chimera the other day and I loved them. So glad you're putting them up for sale. Will buy a pair for myself sometime.
Your other avatar (which I think is a snake?) is gorgeous as well. I really loved the head sculpt you used. Any plan on making snake avatars from it in the future? There aren't any snakes that I know of that aren't horribly outdated.
