Our processing times are increasing due to Fanfest hype! If you need an order in time for Christmas, we recommend ordering asap.
We plan to have a Black Friday-Cyber Monday deal, but unfortunately due to the queue/timing, orders placed during that sale likely won’t arrive in time for Christmas. 🙇

Our very own @turtlesmithy.bsky.social in his M-02 set! He used a combination of powders for a custom set of Sapphire with Ruby tips.

Our M-01 horn set was one of the first we ever made! @mimicrycosplay.bsky.social became our apprentice while we were adjusting the masters and remaking molds as they wore out.
Ethan casted his own sapphire horn set pictured here!

Here’s the lovely @yayahan.bsky.social modeling our F-03 horn set! Requests for Amethyst horns/tails were popular at the time, and for this set we played around with some additional colors for a pink to violet gradient.

Our F-02 set modeled by @courageofstars.bsky.social !

The paint job was a fun experiment with various metallic powders plus blue dye to create a twilight sky look.

We do offer custom colors on our dragon sets, with pricing dependent on complexity/number of colors

Last year we brought a bunch of our dragon horns to a cabin trip with friends, and they modeled for us!

First up is @mahoumaddie.bsky.social wearing our F-01 set with gold highlights; her smiles are contagious! 💖
She edited this photo herself as well

The grind for the perfect bird continues, which brings back memories of my favorite @yeticon.bsky.social photo from a few years ago. Kevin is an absolute U N I T and I love him. Just look at this bird. 🥹

Did you know I’ve done more Trigun cosplay than Vash? I did Amelia from Trigun: Badlands Rumble with @turtlesmithy.bsky.social years ago! There’s one or two more I’d like to do, but I’m too overwhelmed right now!
