Artist's Comments

As per ~Droakir's request I have created a tutorial on how to do the chainmaille weave Dragonscale.
I must say I'm quite proud of myself, this came out much better than I expected :)

COOL! It's hard to find good chainmaille tutorials, and I certainly didn't think to find one on DA.

:-D
:iconzikes:
Thanks! Who knows if people like this one enough I might just make a trend of it and make tutorials for all the weaves I know :D
And thanks for the +fav! :)

Wow! That looks simply awesome! Thanks, Zikes, for clearing that up. Kudos on the generation of those 3D images. They certainly beat out the concept of the photographed maille projects. And now I can do dragonscale! Reminds me quite a bit of a modified European 4 in 1. The concept of Persian comes to mind, but not quite. Once again, great job!

Actually it really is nothing more than two layers of Euro 4 in 1. if you were to separate the two layers you would see 4 in 1 with alternating rows of large and small rings.

And I'm glad it was of help to you! I was a bit worried that my worded instructions weren't too clear, but I think the images mostly speak for themselves :)

That's why it looked so familiar! So it seems to offer some of the flexibility of the 4 in 1, but the full-bodied protection of the 6 in 1. Not a bad pattern.

Thanks! :D
I've talked with ~Droakir and we may just collaborate on a few more of these, hopefully we'll be able to show people just how easy the whole thing really is :nod:

I agree. I will most definitely have to try the pattern out now! :D
