hanatsukuri In reply to MyrtilleGingembre [2012-01-03 23:26:18 +0000 UTC]

why thank you! i'm glad you like the finished piece.

The head is hand-sculpted out of paper clay, and finished with acrylic and a sealer. The eyes are glass beads.

Oh wow, this piece is very cool!!

I could just imagine a dragon just like this one emerging from the sky on the dawn of the first day of the new year.

Wonderful work, as usual!

He looks awesome. I really like the color gradations on the "scales". It'd also be cool if you could make a phoenix to go with him ^______^

hanatsukuri In reply to Kiri-n [2011-12-28 23:58:50 +0000 UTC]

the color gradation was a must for this cute, regal guy. ^______^

Phoenix~ I've not gotten around to making another of those since I made my first birds...but yeah, that'd be pretty awesome. ^_^ I think a phoenix would also be good with gradation.

ahhh, time~ I need more of it!
