This is a project I've been working on for over a year, on and off. I've finished about 98% of it here. The only things missing are the gills, some body crystals, minor airbrushing, some sewing retouches, and some additional finer details like scales and things.

But I finished this much in time for MFF. I'll probably finish the other 2% if I wind up going to FCN this year. We'll see.

Karata is an OC of mine (not a fursona).

I was inspired to make this hoodie when I saw Canada Cosplay's "Cute Black Dragon Hoodie." ( [link] ) I'm not nearly as skilled as they are in terms of sewing or clothing-making so I bought a blue hoodie and customized it myself. I've just started learning how to sew, so admittedly it's not the best job ever but I'm pretty satisfied regardless.

Features:

- Hand "escape" slits (much like the inspiration piece)
- Gloved hands
- Knuckles in hands (for a realistic dragon look)
- Wings and such
- Arm "crystals"
- Horns and spikes and doo-dads
-Three sets of ears (t'were bitches to attach)
- Pawpads
- Tail
