>The worst part is I'm having second thoughts and think they could be longer.
Yeah, I know how that is. It sucks to have a thing you're not satisfied with, but it also sucks to have to redo something completely.

For what it's worth, I do agree with you that they could be longer. If you do remake it, go at least double that long, maybe even up to four times as long. They could maybe be a bit thinner too, if you can get that to work.

What I do to judge lengths is take the original image and kinda un-rotate the ribbon/cape/whatever, turning it into more-or-less a straight line to give an approximate idea of the length in comparison to your height. Like so.

Oh, now that I read down the thread to >>6847176, it looks like you've already re-done it. That's probably a pretty decent length, then.

If you wanna improve on the thing later, definitely do the flowing stuff that turns into the drill (no idea what it's actually called) and wire that so it poofs out and such. It's a really effective thing.
