Hey there ,guys! I'm usually super shy about posting here. However, I thought the project I recently finished was really neat! I'm too excited about it and wanted to share it! This tail served as a small proof of concept,as well. I've never played with a micro-controller before this project. However, I'm very familiar with soldering so this wasn't overly hard to do on the hardware aspect. The tail features 24-bit pixel leds connected to a micro-controller and was dry-brushed.

Uploaded a quick video for my client. It shows off the tail's colors and transitions. My client asked for Blues ,greens , and cool colors. While the purplish pink after the green is a bit bright , I thought it created a dramatic transition. :D.
Since the leds are on a programmable microcontroller ,you're able to switch out the code before an outing. I'd imagine you could change the colors on-the-go at a convention so long as you have a usb and laptop. The tail runs on 4 1.2v rechargable leds making the tail pretty lightweight. Everything is stored in a zipper compartment for protection.
Funky transition. It kind of reminds me of a watermelon.
