Thanks all,
I've done the back. I still need to join the shoulder muscles properly to the torso(?) and the hind leg needs a little more sculpting at the join. Now just lower legs, upper legs on the other two, tail neck and head. And then the rest of the project.

Loads of time

Aargh! Stupid photo.

Looks impressive - I really want to see him done and settled in wherever he'll be settled.

Your very own dragon!

Any plans for a hoard of coins and gems?

beefcake · « **Reply #18 on:** February 08, 2015, 04:59:00 AM »

A hoard and gems is a good idea. I may use that but the cave is meant to really just be the entrance.
I'm thinking of getting rid of this head. I may make a variety of other heads and see which I like best" I want to go for something quite feral looking.
Anyway, here are the photos. Neck half complete and shoulder muscles put in. I've also tidied up the joints between the arm and the torso so that looks better now.
Still a fair amount to do. Underside, legs tail and head.
This time I'm uploading two photos taken both ways with the iPad, hopefully one will be the right orientation. There will be a mad beefcake otherwise

. (If it works I'll delete the upside down one)

Good progress; the dragon starts looking good. Will you keep his skin smooth or are you planning to add scales?

beefcake · « **Reply #21 on:** February 09, 2015, 06:58:32 AM »

I think I'll keep it smooth. Time restraints and all. Scales would add on a lot of time especially if I were to do it properly.

You should post all of your photos up-side-down. Make it a point of difference.

it would certainly make the final piece a bit of a surprise when it is shown the right way up.

More progress on the dragon. I still need to do more work on the head. Not happy with th teeth, not very fang like. I may pull the out and use brown stuff to sculpt them as it gives harder edges. One of the horns has come loose from the head so I'll need to stick that back on. Pretty much only the legs and some detailing on the head to go and this guys done. Then it's up to the work on the lair.

Starting to come together nicely.

Duke Donald · « **Reply #26 on:** February 14, 2015, 05:46:26 PM »

He's starting to look good; I like the horns.

Thanks

I've been looking for blue foam for a long time but can't seem to source any here in NZ. So instead I resorted to an easier located (bark garden), cheaper alternative that will be quicker and probably have better results. Bark nuggets. I'll spray the to look rocky but just need to make sure I get them looking good. I'll use some DAS modelling clay to fill any gaps and stick the together with some skewers. Below is just a quick test.

I've done some more work on the face of this guy. Starting to look quite scary now which is a good thing.mpretty much only the legs to go now and then tidying up. The extra week is going to be helpful to complete the rest of the project.
I've pinned together some of the bark nuggets with bamboo skewers and PVA glue. It's looking pretty good now.

Yep. Looking good.
