Flizzard head in clay

Posted May 30, 2011, 7:43:24 PM UTC

This is the head of the Rock dragon when he was in the clay stage. He was sculpted in "castaline" which is a very hard plastiline-like material. I had never used it before, so this was an experiment. It it needs to be warmed up to make it workable, then at room tempreature it becomes very hard, so you can detail it without mooshing up the sculpture's basic shape.

(I originally called this a "flizzard" but we changed the name to "Rock Dragon" when we started offering them for sale.)

Awe- it's lovely even without it's paint ^^ There's such a realism in it's scales <3 Is this a shape you do often? Or is he off a reference?

  He is the first dragon I've done in this "realistic" style. I used live lizards as reference, and made up the rest!
  Since I sculpted him I have done one other dragon like this; a smaller version.
  Thank you so much for the comment!

  Oh- I see I guess then you're very familiar with the lizards form then and only need a reference for a reminder. I'd love to see one of these IRL ^^ I'm kinda on the other side of the world though T.T *sighs* One day I'll go to America with a check list of people to meet and art to see >.<
