Time to suit up for war little dragon rider :<
Despite being small I tried to include as many details as I could in the armor and gear
somehow even with a sketch I went too much traditional with the scales XD well someday I'll get it right
yext time I might atempt to do the scales by carving them out to have better visual control
The little dragon rider for the mighty dragon warrior
It's been many many years since I made a rider for my dragons. So this was a nice change of pace adding the tiny figure :D
-
Also the dragon is painted with low reflective black. I used "blackest black" from #culturehustle I bought. It's not so much that it is that dark, it really isn't, but it does give the effect of being darker because it does not reflect light the way typical acrylic does. and I love the effect. Unfortunately here it was not the right subject to use it on. it took away far too much about the dragon's details of the scales and skin. Something this figure really needed to be interesting so he's up for a repaint. unfortunate but I'll find better uses. Perhaps caves and holes where you really want to avoid any kind of reflecting surface :)
From a crumpled alu foil mess, suddenly a becomes a dragon! ...Oops
And I again forgot to take progress pictures until the dragon was alredy quite defined. Oh well :O
And so the fire lord begins his journey :O
This one is rather bulky creature and ended up adding plenty of thick layers to build up the wanted shape. sometimes I wonder why I do the muscles cause in cases like these, nothing will be seen under the crusty scales TuT
Concept sketch for the next companion project. A warrior of sorts
Making dinamic poses is always a treat to do and this one certainly is one of the more "off center" ones. I think making sketches really helps to keep to the original idea. Otherwise I tend to sray pretty far off if I just go from memory. Might start doing this for all my projects.
And of course after a long time I once more am making a sort of "dragon rider" sculpture.
He is planned to be a "twin" sculpture to a "queen" version of a wyvern.
What is also planned is a more complex base consisting of medieval age battle equipment such as trebuchet.

Just an concept sketch for the next sculpture :O
I have done a fire dragon before and I enjoyed it, but I wanted to try something a little more dinamic as far as the coloration goes and the way the flame is used. I want to make it look like he's coming out of the fire and cooling off further from the flame core he gets, so certain parts will be more black and lower parts very brightly colored
Once more doing the fluff for the boy
Of course I forgot to take any pictures for the progress updates sooner. Ah well. For the past few years I've been doing a a series of similar foxes on a stone cube. This time I wanted to mix it up a bit and make a sort of environmental base. Just a hint of nature, for the fox to walk across platforms in stead of a single mass.
The fox will be covered in fluf like I usually do them and after do the paint accents where needed to bring out the shape a bit.
atempting to make an egg... it's fail
so on a first try I used a styrofoam egg shape but the clay shrank too much when drying and smushed it. the egg shape is not there anymore
working on the place for him to sit. the wood base becomes a pile of stones. Or so was the plan
It's ironic when a mistake when making the clay bach gives you cracking effect. Completely unusuble until discovering it's perfect to make stones and then never be able to repeat the mistake when you actually need it to have the perfect stome making clay :I
But after 2 failed attempts I went with a cracking paste but still didn't achieve the desired effect so I went back in with more clay and just sculpt a few more detains in addition to the cracked surface.

Changing eye color after changing sculpture direction
One of the necessary changes was the eyes. I liked the original ones but were far away from the new vision. So I needed to make new ones are popo out the old ones- poor guy went blind for a bit there :O
what an effin bloody mess O_o laying the foundtion for later color layers
Now he really looks like he bathed in a pool of blood of sacrificed victims :O this is to get the red paint in deep crevices of the skin where it will shine through darker pait later on :)
ripping the horns a second time. ... yep that just happened
So sometimes it's necessary to destroy something even if you've alredy did corrections on it before. The end result will be better if you chose to do so instead of keeping it as is just to save time :O
I started to paint him, added the dark color and the bloddy red accents
Sometimes it's interesting to see them change as paint is applied. Before this project was cahnged from original to Got was tempted tokeep him white. I wish I could keep him white :P One day I shall make that white dragon. One day! XD
Yes. One day! XD But I'm really happy how the red smothly transotions and no brush stroke is visible :)
sexy sexy scales ;D scales are hard to do X_x
Once more I meet my enemy... the sales >_< each bone needed to be separately made and then the skin inbetween individually made. I think it's getting easier each time I have to make them :)
and here is the cristal skin effect with light :D
This is the first time trying out something like this. Made the frost effect with miniature glass spheres.
the working lamp post
The functional light was made by Akulatraxas including the switch turn on or off the light. I used an antique stlyle paint for the lamp post. again I'm very satisfied how this came out
Making a miniature box... out of a bigger box :O
taking carbord from another box I created a mini version and tried to replicate damage by ripping the sides, painting the corners with dirty paint water and wrinkling the sides and the edges to achieve an authentic look.
Bit of figuring out the coloring and settling on a simpler colored patches
I adore how the wings came out and the horse as a whole :)
the patform. Sometimes you have to figure things out
I found myself in a dilema. Usin a thin wood platform meant I can't work on it with water based materials because it would bend when in contact with water. And the only way I could make the concrete imitation was with water based gue. Lots of it. So the solution was to have the food foil between the wood and the paste to achieve the right shape for the concreete paste matching the shape of the wood platform. Once the paste was dry, the foil was removed and the two pieces stuck together with a little of fast acting glue :)
So the unicorn thingy becomes pegasus thingy? Pegacorn!
I've been waiting to use those wings for 2 years now :D
Finally with the color added they begin to look like racoons
A few shots with different possitions of the baby racoon :)
a weird unicorn thingy starts to take shape
This was a quick last minute project I decided to take on.
