[apologynone]

@horde5151

Yeah I was strolling along, minding my own business, when I heard a bunch of guys yelling "Dragon! Dragon! They were cool!

[edaw1982]

Oh yeah, Draconians are popular with the ladies. Those Elf Maidens don't know what they're missing. ;3

[apologynone]

@edaw1982

I carry the sword to hold them off sometimes. I know I have magical power but I can only handle 4 or 5 at a time, you know?

[edaw1982]

Commander Kang...is that you?

[TSLittleMermaid]

My name is Tiamat (legally), and I just wanted to say that your depiction of a Baaz is the most epic I have yet seen!

(You deserve to bring down all the Power Rangers in battle! ;) )

[apologynone]

@TSLittleMermaid

Thanks, Tiamat! Actually, taking down Power Rangers is a bit taboo for my kind. It would be like beating up little kids in a school yard >:}

[harrysarso]

lol 1:12 sexy shot :D but it look realy cool and realistic 

[apologynone]

@harrysarso

Thank you! >:}

[AthyNa100]

Cool! Security at Universal Florida confiscated my original lol

[VicRules666]

[spartydragon]

Nice!

[apologynone]

Thanks!

[Tallacus]

I wish I had a Dragon Suit myself, Comic Con is coming up....

[apologynone]

Yeah I'm building a new one myself and will hopefully have it done by next year. I wish it didn't take so long to make this stuff..

[Tallacus]

@apologynone still nice work a fine testament to your artistic skills

[apologynone]

Thank you! >:}

[Adom]

awesome!

[apologynone]

Thanks!^^

[Drglancer]

That is the best costume EVER! It made me cry with joy. I LOVE Dragonlance. Anything from the novels brought into 3D reality makes me happy. Thanks so much!

[apologynone]

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you like it :}

[SpartanLizard1]

shiny

[apologynone]

Thank you!^^

[Adam160]

I know him, it Gouldar from the power rangers, lol

[apologynone]

I wish. Would look pretty good on a resume...

[barnahaet]

They look like golden auraks and they dont have wings in dragonlance.

[apologynone]

I was inspired originally by a Bozak. I ended up going from bronze to gold after a while due to the lack of bronze leafing so I ended up a mixed race.

[barnahaet]

i mean i searched by word: dragonlance

[cobravenomX1]

nice job on it

[apologynone]

Thanks^^

[randomdude240]

umm wat is a draconian?

[apologynone]

A good dragon that is cursed as an embryo and becomes an evil dragon with human dimentions

[touchsmart0]

i think its like a huge costume party with no beer... in other words a place you shoudlnt be cuz tehres no beer XD

[Neighsayer24]

Dragonlance might be my favorite books ever.

Scratch thet, they ARE.

Lovely job :D

[apologynone]

Just came across your comment.Thank you ^^ Sorry for not responding earlier. The Dragonlance novels sound very intriguing. Unfortunately, I don't have the patients to read a lot of books. So many projects, so little time...

[horse332]

So amazing, it doesn't look real! Very well done. Love the wings the best. Although I've never heard of the... DragonLance? Books before. Who might be the author? It sounds pretty interesting, considering the comments. :]

[apologynone]

Thanks^^

Yeah that was my favorite.

The Dragonlance novels were written by Margaret Weis . Ironically, I've never read them...

[vilgax1998]

i saw raistlin in one of thise pics

[apologynone]

Yeah I marched in a small Dragonlance group in last year's parade :}

[ilexgarodan]

Incredible costume, thumbs up! Just out of curiosity, is it a Baaz or Kapak Draconian?

[apologynone]

Thank you^^

Actually a Bozak most likely, but I think my parents were possibly a mixed affair as my scales have turned from bronze to gold over the years; which leads me to believe I may have some Aurak in my blood. I do not believe I have Baaz in me as I'm not without magical abilities :)

[Gig540]

5 stars!

I have to give a big thumbs up to anyone that makes something and finishes it. Very well done that costume looks awesome! Looked like it was a lot of fun too!!

[apologynone]

Thank you! Yes it was a lot of fun but was agonizing at times. About to finish a different costume that I will debut at Dragoncon Friday. Hopefully it will be a bit easier on me :}

[Gig540]

Ah nice bet it looks sweet! I will be going to Dragoncon also. Just trying to debate to get tickets at door or buy the membership. The membership is a bit pricey since entire family wants to go. We shall see!

[apologynone]

The membership prices there are ridiculous. The only reason I get mine is to march in the parade. Anyway, say hi if you see me (I'll be the anthro warrior horse :]

[Wolvenkindness]

I could see Wire's but just barely.. and i mean BARELY If i ever did get a Dragon Suit(?) It would be A Blueish Black >.>

[apologynone]

Yeah my next dragon project is going to be black or graphite. Through with that metallic stuff......

[captainkyafox]

Seriously that is one of the best costumes I've ever seen ...ever!

[apologynone]

Well thank you! That means a lot :}

[Schneelocke]

Wow. That's seriously impressive - great work! Thanks for sharing this. :)

[apologynone]

Thank you for the kind comment! Glad you like it :}

[KillKatieandGG3x6]

wow how did you get the wings to move like that o,O do you have any more links to how i could make some?

Lovely costume, the gold is just amazin btw

[apologynone]

Thank you!

The wings operate with a system of cables and pulleys. I don't have any tutorials at the moment but I may be making another pair in the future so who knows^^

Glad you like the gold. It's the most expensive and discomforting part of it XD

[KillKatieandGG3x6]

Oh rly? Wow thats very impresive! I didnt notice any cables and I studies the film pretty well X3;

It would be really awesome if you could come up with a quick sketch map of how the system works- Im making suits of my own now (check my profile if your bored and see -My faggy feet- to show how i made animal like legs) :3 <3 thank you!! xxx andgoldrockshahaha

[apologynone]

I made a diagram a long time ago. I'll see if I can come across it. What kind of suit are you making with the feet?

[KillKatieandGG3x6]

That would be great thank you c':

Im making a Lion suit- my first ever costume- which i stared when i was 15 (now 16). I will be selling it off when its done to raise money. Ill be making a large dragon/jackdaw costume for myself when ive got experienced with a few others when im older. Thanks again <3

[NiikuPony]

Very awesome work! What is the mask made of, if I may ask? I love how smooth the whole costume looks, and the wings are such a simple, efficient, and great design!

[satandragons]

Dang...you were at 2008.

[apologynone]

Yep! Already have my membership for next year :D Doing something different, though.

[ElectricVentures]

Wow! Incredible costume! Bet it took a while to suit up! Thanks for sharing!

[apologynone]

Thanks for the kind words, ElectronicVentures. Yes, it takes around an hour to suit up. Removing the paint takes much longer ;)

[comedykhaos]

thats realy good :D i like how u do the wing movements btw looks realy good

nice work!!

[apologynone]

Thank you, comedykhaos :D

[comedykhaos]

np :P

[tommie314101]

nice, mostly i wear cheap regular halloween costumes like a toilet paper mummy or a reaper with a plastic scythe

repost here, np for deleting, cool costume

[apologynone]

Thanks for reposting tommie314101.

It sounds like you still have a much more comfortable and reliable setup. It's all about having a good time :)

[NashobaHostina]

This is an amazing costume... Bravo!! Brilliant work... is all of the paint I assume you're wearing on your arms and legs hard to get off?

[apologynone]

Thank you for the kind words! Yes the paint is pretty hard to remove and I can still feel some of the metallic residue in my skin up to a week after I've removed the paint.

[Grak70]

Great wing mechanism. Would love to see a video on how it's put together.

[apologynone]

Thank you! Will be making another pair for a future costume so who knows :)

[bamafan41312]

Gread video and costume cannot believe that is you.

[apologynone]

Thanks! Hope you can make it out next year to see the next project

[SladesApprentice145]

That is badass.

[apologynone]

Thanks, SladesApprentice :]

[alanjordan101]

Great job!

Look forward to seeing your costume next year.

[apologynone]

Great job on the photos :) Can't wait for next year myself!

[CaptainCrazyINC]

good work! haha, I love the escalator footage

[apologynone]

LoL, too bad they didn't film me hiking up the twelve flights of stairs to get to my room after that (the size of the costume makes it even more difficult than normal to catch an elevator). Thanks again for the awesome pics :)

[EmeraldoTheDragon]

That looks awesome!

[apologynone]

Thanks! Glad I was finally able to get a little footage of it.
