I've gotten a bit further along with my wings, & I've got another few questions: first, for a single backplate, is acrylic a good base, & if so, how big? Second, what are the design changes for hand-loops rather than foot loops?
Great video, I've been trying to make wings for Flanre Scarlet (Video Game) that flop (they go side ways instead of back) and retract so I can go through doors and crowds x.x;; and this was a great start thanks :3!
One question though, is it possible to make wings where the string is inside the pvc pipe, and a way to anchor the position? If so any tutorials/ideas you know about xD?
Can you please give me the dimensions & proper names of all the supplies? My father (who is an engineer) was baffled by how vague everything was, especially with the eyelets & screws. I ended up getting the PVC pipe at a hardware store, & some screws that may be the right size, but I'd just like to double-check everything.
@Roketto Baffle him back: One size does not fit all because people are not manufactured. If we gave you the lengths that worked on Ben and you were smaller they would not fit, they would drag on the ground and you would be unable to make them move. If you were larger they might look stupid on you--even the pipe diameter can be variable. So, this video is not a blueprint, but a concept. Wearable props require being totally customized to the wearer. Check the reference PDF for eyelet placement.
Ah, thank you. I didn't mean to sound rude, but my Dad was just kind of frustrated that nothing was concrete. I said pretty much what you explained; that one size doesn't fit all, so I guess I need to just go eye everything as far as what length of screws, etc. I'm pretty small, btw, so mine probably be VERY large in proportion to my body.
If I wanted to get these wings as close to my back as possible what would the measurements for the notch be? Also, do you know if it is possible to get the wings to open to the side or do they do that on their own?
...at what kind of stores did you buy all the materials...because i paid just for the pvc 15 euro...>_________> this was way more expensive...than i expected...
@dragonqueen123321 Yes! I got an e-mail from a guy who did that for an out door festival. By using black wire it makes the pull rings and wires almost invisible.
@Hergonan But that's the point! By using colloquialisms I am able to give the videos a sense of place as well as increase accessibility by my audience, who will find dry "Kings' English" prose alienating and detached. Other colloquialisms I use intentional include "wanna," "gonna," "like," and "sorta."
While going thru my stuff in the garage, I found lots of stray straps with clips that came off camping gear or backpacks, I have no idea. I bet everybody has a box with some webbing straps. DUCT TAPE is more readily available, and if it can fix hang gliders it can certainly support dragon wings!
Okay, question: Would it work to make a joint in the "elbow" of the wing like the one at the top, and have the same string attached to it, so that the whole wing moves, not just the one joint?
@EJLizardbreath Yes. Takes a lot more force. Very fun effect, sort of like a fully articulated puppet. Tiring to wear if large, comfy if small wings. If you're serious about this message me with your skype name and we can conference call it.
@gryphern Thank you. :) Honestly, I was just curious. It seemed odd to have just one joint move. I'm not serious, just glad to know that it's possible. :D
@JawdropperFashion There is a good instructable on how to make angel wings, it's a guy who is bare-chested wearing angel wings and jeans. Combine his overlapping wing areas to this design and you're good to go.
I've been planning to make the perfect dragon costume for the Scarborough Faire Renaissance Festival, your video has further added to the oncoming awesomeness. I'm hoping the end result will look like something like the proto drakes from warcraft. You have been very informative, including adding hands-on artistic techniques that one can learn from knowing the materials. Thank you. Look up my designs on deviantart . com profile named RichardVale
I have been searching the Internet for dragon wings that I could create for my daughters Dragon birthday party and have found absolutely nothing worthy. However, this project is exactly what I have been searching for. Would you be willing to re-create it for me for my daughters birthday? I will buy all supplies and send to you. Pretty please!!!!
i went on top of empire state building and jump im now a ghost and writing this from heaven in heaven theres always wifi ive also found that jesus is asian his name is wong he doesnt know where people are getting christ

Hey, did you see Lynsie's costume? You're idea really worked for her! When you get on youtube, type in "Finished Night Fury Costume", you can see her partying with her dragon costume she made by hand. Look at her wings...she got the idea from you. The rest was all her idea and she made it all. It turned out great!
@wybielover OMG those are so GREAT. I am totally digging that. EEE! So cool! She's got a great character presence in the suit!!!! (Commenting on her vid now)

Is there a way to make it so the wings open out towards the side rather than up? I'm certain I could figure it out if I play with the desisn a bit but if you already know that would be amazingly helpful
@imXyourXstalker It just depends on where you carve the notches to insert the wing part. It looks like she did a front and back cut on the pipe so the wings would open behind her. You would probably want a left to right cut for yours to open to the side. But you would probably have to adjust where you place the eyelets for the string.
1. The guys are cute in this vid. 2. The veins are awesome, but since this would be a bigger creature rather then a tiny one, wouldn't the veins be bigger? Awesome vid, you're a wonderful artist!
Would it be possible to mod these to open to the side, rather than the back?
I would like to make side opening angel wings, if possible with this design. I was thinking maybe just screw them to the block of wood sideways rather than back facing? And then, the cable of one wing would go to the opposite foot?(left wing opened by right foot?
@RandomAnimeLover123 That video was of us testing a design change while making the video. The diagram and instructions are based on having made these wings many times before. So yes, totally wrong!
@RandomAnimeLover123 Yes. Also the extra detail of the scales helps transform the obviously fabric wing into something with a context, namely, dragon skin.
Thank you so much for this video! I made a set of my own, and I love them. I planned to (and successfully) walked on stilts while wearing them, so I did not use your body posture idea, but had small metal rings I could loop around my thumb to open the wings. They took me dang near 20 hours to make, but I am so happy with the results. Again, you are awesome!
would i be able to attack feathers to this to make angel wingz or will they become to heavy and break? ik how strong it was in the beginnng im just making sure before i build it and get disappointed if it dosnt work
@sansomstudios check out the "how to make angel wings" on Instructables to see how you could attach feathers. Build a small pair to start so you don't drive yourself crazy your first time through.
@gryphern Question: If you added feathers, would they HAVE to be in the style of the angel wings on instructibles, or can we just attach feathers to the frame that you have here.
sweet!! i'm using this design for the upcoming Mobile Ren Faire, where I'll be a dragon-amazon woman :)
They will be still though, so i'll need to modify the design, but no matter! i'll send a video or a pic for you in full costume. thanks for all your designs, and double thanks for sharing them!
What about the cable to move the wings? Did you guys put it through the eyelets before putting on the scales? It looks like the cable works under the scales, but I'm not sure.
@viliey31 TOTALLY. Be in touch if you have any questions about construction. Lots of people message or e-mail me so I can pass back and forth all the info I get.
Hi. this is great, just what my daughter wants this year and I think she can do a lot of it herself. Found you on cherylrainfield projects site where it says there are pdf instructions. How do I find and download the pdf? Thanks.
@angelbbad8789 The amount of fabric will depend on the design. We glued scraps together and the wings are narrow without large handing parts. To estimate the fabric we'd need we drew the design out on paper, then drew the design life sized in chalk on concrete, measuring how much fabric would really be used when the wings were open.
Great idea. I will definitely do this for Halloween this year. However, I'll substitute some kind of vein pattern in place of the scales. Just have to figure out how to do it.
Quick question, how did you attach the steel cable to your body in a way that didn't require you to be completely hunched over and knees completely bent when the wing is closed? I tried placing the wire in the location that it shows in your "How Dragon Wings Work diagram", but my wings refuse to open completely.
It is possible, fear not! Take a moment and consider the body type you're working with. Ben is built like a dwarven axe wielder, with a long back and short legs. So For him it was mostly his back to pull the wire taut. For me, I've got super long legs, so I use posture change in my knees and hips. With that in mind, identify where you'll have the most posture change. Then, measure your distance difference by using string along your body...
your video was extremely helpful to me! thank you for making this video.

It looks like she used 6 yards of fabric sewn together instead of three... is that true? Can someone clarify?
angelbbad8789 1 year ago
@angelbbad8789 The amount of fabric will depend on the design. We glued scraps together and the wings are narrow without large handing parts. To estimate the fabric we'd need we drew the design out on paper, then drew the design life sized in chalk on concrete, measuring how much fabric would really be used when the wings were open.

Great idea. I will definitely do this for Halloween this year. However, I'll substitute some kind of vein pattern in place of the scales. Just have to figure out how to do it.
Thanks for great tutorial!

Quick question, how did you attach the steel cable to your body in a way that didn't require you to be completely hunched over and knees completely bent when the wing is closed? I tried placing the wire in the location that it shows in your "How Dragon Wings Work diagram", but my wings refuse to open completely.

It is possible, fear not! Take a moment and consider the body type you're working with. Ben is built like a dwarven axe wielder, with a long back and short legs. So For him it was mostly his back to pull the wire taut. For me, I've got super long legs, so I use posture change in my knees and hips. With that in mind, identify where you'll have the most posture change. Then, measure your distance difference by using string along your body...
