At last, I have had the Breathing Space to release the Ordinal Mechanical Dragonfly Wings for public sale! They are now available at my Caledon shop, for a limited time at the exceptionally low price of L$200. (Tomorrow, I will put them up to a more reasonable price.) Additional: it is now tomorrow, and they are now L$300. Please see the left hand side of this particular Journal for the location of my Shop, if you were not already aware of it.
They may be also be found for purchase or gift here on ShopOnRez. I would advise anyone wishing to send any as a gift to use this service - whilst I could develop and engineer an entire gifting system for each of my products, I do not plan to do so, and I do not plan to release them as Transferrable either, as that would invalidate the Update System that I use and put customers at the Mercy of a Cruel Grid. (And one would not be able to place copies in different Outfits, either.)

Miss Malaprop, I had the opportunity to purchase a copy in-world last night, amongst the general grid malaise, and I am most happy with my experiences thus far.
Brava!

They look beautiful and work as expected.
Gracious and powerful.
At first I was a bit disappointed.
They did not look like on the video at all,
and first I crashed, then my client crashed.
5 minutes and a cup of coffee later I found out I was wearing the wrong set of dragonfly wings, an old freebie I completely forgot about.

Speaking as a fluttering wing creator as well as a fan of your work, I await with bated breath my opportunity to visit the fine state of Caledon again tonight and acquire these.

I bought these wings and I think they are really good, as expected!
Well-refined, detailed, and their peculiar flying system is really cool.
I’d be glad to slightly resize the wings, would that be possible?

Odd you should mention that, as it has been asked before, and I was trying to find a scripting method… but annoyingly there isn’t one to change the scale of an entire set of linked prims.
I have previously made one custom version, but that causes issues if there is ever an update, as I must then hand-deliver all of the custom versions again. The same would be true if I made them modifiable, but even worse, as the way that my current update script works would allow that to be severely abused should some miscreant decide so to do. (I won’t go into the exact reasons why!)
Something I may do is provide a modifiable version - without update scripts - at the same time as the original. Thus one would have two possible versions to use, but would have to rez the original in order to check for updates. If so, I shall deliver that via the usual updating method.

Any chance of animating the wings, as well? Dragonflies don’t beat their wings as fast as say, a house fly, so it could be doable… maybe?
