Molten Dragon Miniature

Description

Little dragon miniature made from Super Sculpey and painted with Reeves acrylics (featured in the background along with my handy dandy knife :D).

So, this little guy. He started out as a long thin snake of Sculpey, at which point I had the overwhelming urge to make another dragon (my subject of choice at the moment), thusly, a dragon! And I love doing hair, so I gave him a hairy back.

He's obviously not heard of waxing. Poor guy.

And I wasn't feeling inspired about the paint job, so I asked my friend, and he suggested that I make it black with cracks in with red/orange showing, like a magma crust. Which was difficult with a very tiny dragon (his body's maybe an inch tall, not including the horns), but I think I did a decent job.

I think he's actually unfinished in this picture, but the other ones I have are mostly too dull. But as you might be able to tell, I'm not a very "professional" worker, my work is mostly done on my cutting mat on my knee or on my laptop keyboard, and I always sit on the floor. So yeah, totes profesh. :D

Body took ~1 hour to make, hair took ~3 hours to do (yeah... rolling and sticking each individual hair, rectifying mistakes, curling them.... x_x ), and the paint job took maybe 2/3 hours? I wasn't counting.

Nobody's ever going to read the entire description (which begs the question: why bother?) but I felt like writing it so it stays >:3

Enjoy! Will hopefully be able to get a better pic if I find a camera/mysteriously obtain lots of cash so I can buy one.
