The safety base
I made the base so the anubis, though he can stand on it's own, just for safety in case he is bumped accidentaly. He can still be taken off and set to stand on his own :)
Best sculpture I have ever done :)
Find the final product in my gallery with full rotation and all the detail shots :)

Adding the stripes
Detailing :)
Painting the wings and back
I had much trouble painting the wing pattern. Ended up redoing it about 3-4 times once completely scrapping it clean to start over.
A step just before painting
Here is how the figure looked with pure colors of the clay :)

Detailing and lost limbs
I have found myself in trouble when I could not propperly work on the body when the limbs got in the way... so I cut them all off XD
in adition here the first time I tried to make the "dinosaur" skin on my figures. I found a perfect method to make it quickly and easily and in the end it turned out looking unbeliveably good. I was extremely happy with the end result :)

He just grown a lot bigger
When adding the membrane the figure suddenly appears a lot bigger :)
still looking bad, but that leg looks nice :P
what the title says XD
in the end I had to made the head smaller. was out of proportions :)

This looks terrible!
First stages usually always look absolutely terrible and you'd never think they'd amount to anything more than a pile of clay with noodle limbs :P
First steps of @Akulatraxas
For this project I've went in far more detail than any commission I've ever did before. Best decision ever! :D
The Toothless pattern nobody knew existed XD
This was... fun? While I knew Toohless had some kind of a pattern for a while now I never really looked closer to see it. The fact it's hard to see and only visible under certain lights isn't helpfull at all D: Aku went through both movies muliple times to provide me with enough referencess to paint it XD
First I did a couple of tests just to see how the paint interacted with muliple materials on the sculpture. I loved the dissapearing effect acrylic provided in the end, but turned to be quite bothersome to paint black on black.

Skin Scales-more dynamic
I wanted to have some more dynamic on the skin so instead of painting the scales on I "sculpted" them by applying diluted glue & clay mix with a tube on the surface
Jigsaw tail
Well this was a tedious work :D but the end result was well worth it ^^
in the pictures you can also see the spikes on the left have been trimmed to size becuse originally they were too protruding.

What size is the tail fin?
Making a template for the fins to figure out the right size and shape
finalising the leathery skin :)
the surface needed to be coated with diluted clay to make the surface "shooth" an cover every mark done when working on him :)
Painting the wings to give them them the matte look
No more "see throgh" wings :)
And they are gone!
:D sometimes you just have to destroy whyt you made if it's not good
Butt wings!
they will be gone soon... don't like them >_<
added some eye markings
because he needed them :)
Vegetation
he is finally done :)
tiger spirit on the path
This one still needs a glow-in-the-dark paint ^^
that deep stare in to your soul
A scratch board painting. This one came out really well :)
Bring me home
Or take me home... Not sure which title would be better :P
Fox
How one of my 3D paintings happen. I really really like this kinds of paintings ^^
He's a 60s punk
Well, I have to have a bit of fun now and then :)
trimmed down
cut the membrane to siue :)
streatching the wings
as always this part is easy but sometimes gives a bit of trouble :)
He openes his eyes
Finally got those in. still need to better shape the eye sockets
Ataching the wing structure
this part may be a bit tricky but does not present much problems. First wire is cut and put together acording the sketch and in the end attached to the back of the figure.
StuckyTape helps hold things in place until new clay is hardened

Tiny wings!
Just for the Lolz here :P
Deep soulful eyes
Aku wanted Toothless to have relly vibrant eyes as that is the only part on him that can truely stand out an I realised that my first pair were not really cutting it, so I made a few more to test difeerent tecniques. The last ones were also the best ones and so went with those :)
Building the base
looks like a terrible lizard XD
