Here's my little take on some Pteryges.
Still deciding on a buckle or lace up fastener, otherwise they're pretty much done.
Really need a picture of them ON someone though.

Very sharp, Magnus. And yes, they'll really come to life when worn.

Magnus,
What are you using for green dye I have some of the yellow box not going to butcher then spelling until I go get the box to type it in here but I ended up with a hospital scrub shade of green rather then the nice emerald you have there.

I used the new Ecoflo Forest Green from Tandy Leather.
Some of those Fiebings greens come out wierd. But the Ecoflo I must say was a huge pain in the butt to get to set nicely, took a lot of coats, I even added a bit of fiebings to it to try and convince it to darken up.

When I used the Eco it just stayed on the top maybe I will run a few coats and go from there just to try it out thanks Magnus

Did you finish this? Was it an order? If so how much, out of curiousity?

I did indeed finish it, it just needed a buckle and belt tongue attached to it.
I charged $350 for it.
