Dances With Films Year 15

Just started work on the trophies for year 15 of Dances with films. These eight stars are ready for plaques.

Took the dragon out for a walk in the backyard

It has been a while since I last worked on this dragon sculpture. It actually felt good to get this project moving again. Worked on the tail and the back legs and claws.

Did a little work on the skeleton and added some length to the tail. Actually I added a whole lot of length to the tail. I may have made it too long, however I am going to sit on it for a couple more days before I move forward. After all a dragon is not a real thing so really I can just go with what I like. And I believe that in Dungeons and Dragons a dragon can tail bash an opponent that is in front of it. Meaning it would need a really long tail.

Day 3 with the dragon

Put in way more time on this today than I wanted to. However The 9 gauge wire is slow going to work with. When all is said and done I would say the skeleton is 80-90% done.

Dragon Day 2

It is still hard to see what is going on here from the picture, however I am pleased with the form that this is taking. I am going to have to make the skeleton very strong as I expect the wings will add a lot of weight to the piece.

Dragon

I have been wanting to do a large scale dragon sculpture for some time now. However before I spend six months and thousands of dollars on a large scale dragon sculpture I want to make sure I have a good pose and proportions that I am happy with.Â So with that in mind I am planning on doing five or six small dragon sculptures before I get into the large on. This is the start of the first one. There are already some changes to the proportions that I would make. I think the back legs need to be longer and the front shoulders need to be broader.
