Just another quick installment of my paper mache dragon. I left off having just draped and trimmed the wings. At this point I added feet. I wanted this dragon to be bird-like, so the "attitude" of the feet are very important. Below you can see what they looked like unadorned. Pretty plain.
You can see how much difference a bit of detail can make. A few knuckles, ankles, and claws and they take on a completely different character.
I wanted one foot to be open and the other more clenched. I prefer asymmetry wherever possible. On the right you can see what one foot looked like after the cloth mache.
I added my usual breastplates. I started at the tail and worked my way up to the neck. I decided to do this before adding the head (for no particular reason).
I added the jaws to the neck. I wanted the dragon to be floating, much like an eagle, scanning the horizon.
As usual, Eddie was helping me out. He decided to nudge the wing a few times, just enough to get the dragon rocking.
Till next time...thanks for dropping by.
