As you can see on the left I added some little Fimo horns. I
also made some cool eyes for this dragon. Well I re-made some eyes. I
took some glass taxidermy eyes and used a Drummel grinder to grind off
the paint except for the lens. Then I used white and shades of blue
paint and swirled them together around the cat shaped lens. They turned
out very well. It's hard to see in these photos. I'll try to show a
close-up of these eyes later on. Then I added some tentacles to
the chin. On the right you'll notice the spines starting at the nose..
I decided later that I wanted more Fimo spikes so I added a second
layer above the eyes. Then I added the usual details with cloth
mache, the lips, eyelids, etc.. I think the face has a nice fierce
look to it. I'm pleased.
I could say there is a Zen quality to this kind of work but I'd
be lying. It's just tedious. I watch Deadliest Catch while I do it
and be happy that I'm not on the Bering Sea
.On the left you see
part of the pile. On the right are the spines after I've added the
cloth mache. Much easier to do this in advance.
Hopefully I'll get another post up sooner than later this time. Thanks for stopping by.
