Blue Frost Ice Dragon Fantasy Mythical Creature Sculpture Work in Process and Completed Pictures

 

In this post I will show some unpainted pictures of my Ice Dragon sculpture. This one is an OOAK for sale in my etsy shop. I did not make casting of this one. 

Here is a few of my other sculptures that I was working on at the same time. I like to do stuff in batches. So If im sculpting, I'll sculpt a few things. Then when I switch over to painting, I paint a few at a time. 

Here is the back. I didnt use any reference and just kinda did stuff with the clay. I using La doll premier clay. If you have the chance to buy it in person, make sure to feel the package that the clay is still soft. I wanted to get some more from Michaels but the two they had out on the shelf was rock hard. 

Here is a side back view. Premier Clay is very strong. In the past I had used Magic sculpt, Fixit sculpt, etc which are sculpting epoxy clays. They are extremely strong, but with them I have to bulk at shapes, going back and forth between sanding and adding more material. The end results were great, but the journey getting there not so much. Premier clay easier to get a shape right from the beginning. I am trying to not sand as much. I did not have a problem adding new clay to old clay, it stuck just fine to itself.  

I think the end result is something cute. Maybe not the most refined but as someone that is just getting back into sculpting and doing anything artist, its amazing to me. 

I used my Vallejo model paints and some Golden iridescent paint. Here is the link to my Etsy Listing.
