Description
Art trade withI'm in love with this
One of my best, if not the best felt creatures I've ever made. It's a pity the camera couldn't capture it nearly as good as it is in real life. (Black and white are difficult enough to photograph without black being all in shades and white shining like a unicorn's butt, but turns out red likes to get so vibrant, it's just one big textureless blob on most photos -_-). I was asked to make a black-white-red dragon, and here's the concept I drew - fav.me/dakkdqv I couldn't decide what colors the head thingies should be, so that's why I painted one red and one white. They liked white better tho 
Needlefelted on wire (semi-poseable), felt sheet wings and belly, faux fur, feather head decorations and polymer clay horns. About 29 cm from nose to tail tip.

Wow, a beautiful guy!
I like the color combination very well.
The trimmed feathers on his head is a great idea! Looks wonderful.
Making the head of the Dragon completely bright lifts this well from the rest of the body and makes it special.
You can justly be proud of your work.
Have you ever thought, the eyes not to be felt, but made of glass or polymer clay?
I think it would make the creatures even more lively.

Thank you so much for the lovely comment
I have made eyes from clay before, but they never looked as good. I can't get two to be the same size and shape, plus I get dust even on the smallest details
I actually have glass cabachons, but they're just slightly too big for my average works, including this one. But they were the smallest I could find. If I ever get a chance to use them tho, I will!

Yea ... I know this problem.
Glass cabochons are usually not smaller than 8mm. And it is difficult to paint them evenly.
You can also use white-headed needles. Or you make small balls of clay.
If you put these on mm paper, you can see relationally well, whether they are about the same size.
Then you paint them and finally glossy varnish. I like to use nail polish, which gives nice glittering effects for the iris.
Or you stay with the felted eye, also looks good.

Would anyone mind checking out my Etsy shop, I only have four months to sell 100 items or I will have to close shop (I will run out of money)
