    Dragon Sculpture Update

    I was asked recently about the dragon sculpture I posted up here...oh...AAGES ago. I promised at the time that I'd post any updates on it. Anyways, today I felt industrius. Spent about 5 hours on it tonight. Here's what it looks like now. The dark brown areas are the fresh clay, which isn't dry yet:










    I'll probably get the sculpting finished tomorrow, and then I'll be able to seal it and paint it and seal it again.
    Hope you like!

    Ooh, really? I've heard that making fishing lures is difficult! You should post a thread with pictures of them!

    That is looking incredible! Love the detail on it. Have you made any decisions on painting it?

    I've been wanting to make a sculture of a Spinosaurus myself, but I'm not that familiar with clay.

    Thank you!

    I'm thinking about reds and brownish-reds and coppery-bronzey colors. But then, I also would like bronzes, browns, and sandy tans, too, and a green color would be gorgeous. I'm so bad at choosing colors. Got any suggestions?

    Ooh! That would be really cool! I think you should do it! Practice makes perfect after all. I'd suggest you get some wire to make an armature, and keep the figure hollow with a layer of clay around the wire armature, to save on weight and drying time. That's how the dragon sculpture is done, and it weighs probably 2 pounds even though it's hollow. Clay gets heavy fast!
