So this was the first tail I ever made. Ever. This is it when it's brand new.

It is about 36 inches long and is a dragger. It is airbrushed, and washable (it has been washed several times at this point). It is used as a LARP (live action roleplay) and has been stepped on dragged through the mud and through brush and covered with burrs and it still looks pretty good and tends to get a lot of compliments (especially when I wash and brush it after a LARP session) It is attached through a tie about the waist rather than belt loops to hold it onto a belt so that it can be stepped on and abused in 'fights' while creating a legit reaction to my tail being stepped on.

This is actually the tail that got me into being a furry, as I was asked if I was a furry and a fursuit builder because of it.
