Description

Thursday night was 'experimental Thursday' on stream, and I decided to try some new techniques for scales on my dragons. For this dragon, I tried chopping up tiny bits of translucent green clay, which quickly started to look like more like little crystals than scales. So I made some more defined crystals for the wings, legs, and head and now it's looking like a rock candy dragon to me. Even if it wasn't what I'd originally pictured, I am pleased with the result. ^^

Crafted from colored Premo polymer clay, glass beads, acrylic paint. This dragon has found a home, but you can still visit the Etsy listing to view additional photos.

Want to join the fun? Follow me on Twitch ! The next stream is tonight from 7-10pm PDT, where I'll be making galaxy dice dragons.

How did you do the crystal effect? They're quite realistic!

HowManyDragons In reply to shadeon13 [2018-08-02 00:33:37 +0000 UTC]

Ah, come and watch me sculpt live sometime and you'll see. ;D

But in short, I think the key is to cut the clay so that it has sharp edges. Cut the clay at the right angles, and it starts to look crystalline.

Hey Does The Skin Look Like The Inside Of A Dragonfruit

Not quite, I think of the inside of a dragonfruit as more white than gray. This is Premo's Gray Granite clay - it's supposed to look like stone.

Yeah, I decided they were maybe a little more crystally than scaley and decided to run with that. ^^
