I know you will find the right project for those scale techniques, Teyon. Judging from what you have accomplished here, with so little to go on, you are an incredible talent. Keep up the great work. 

LOL, here's an idea... once everything is said and done, change the head and give the tail a spade or other type of structure! That way, you could use those new techniques for dragon scales. 

It was just a thought.
