thats the nickname he earned via livejournal, formally he’s called “Quest” (if you look at his eyes he is no punk, thats for sure 🙂 ), no family tree yet but definitly a mixture of a Rackhara and a Heyhey(uhm, weird habbit of mine of making up critters).
I only just the past days realized that the last sculpture I did was over 3 months ago. SO last sunday afternoon I sat down and made “Quest”.
he’s polymer clay (mainly superflex bend it clay, especially after the post office trampled and kicked so many of my packages) and chicken feathers for the.. poofy look.
Not satisfied with the coloration yet,especially since acrylics always give the sculpture a very rubbery look.
I hope to give him another paint over and pull the colors a bit more into the olive sheen of the feathers, and then get some more decent pictures.
he’s about as big as a blackbird or starling.
I have quite a few more chicken feathers in yellow, orange, red , black and white tones and I may try a full featherd spine/neck next time.clicko:

That’s very cute, and intriguing! Makes me think of a fae dragon, in the style of Brian Froud. Very nice.
How cute! I really like this one!
While hiding somewhere in my head I'm on the lookout for white oriental dragons! Please let me know if you know of any available. Thank you!

dude, gonna drop you a line then sometime this week when “I got a bug undar ma wing Mom!” is finished 🙂
hmmm…
fimo crackers! Marktlückkeeeehh!
nomnomnom!
*ggg*😆 😆 😆 You’re stories for these little guys are ingenious. I wonder what you’ll come up with for my cute little fellow?
“Mom? Mom? hey, I have a… sixped longish two transparent petalled thing under my wing… OMG!! it moved!!!”
naw, will think of something thoroughly and original 🙂
as soon as major fuss with school is over.
I right now have a bigger problem. My greates fear has become true, it looks more or less as if I have to tell my teachers and my director what I am doing as a hobby and that I sell fantasy art because they dropped a week of silly school over my biggest Convention date(Eurofurence).
And dammit have I never been as afraid as I am now, in fact my fear of not being able to go to my fav con is topped by my even greater fear that I will be burned again for something that is not my fault but a mere fact of narrowmindedness and personal revenge.
at some point I even realized how sick all this hiding is that I am doing.It’s very sad that a lot of people think fantasy art isn’t “real” art.
Though I did have one run in with a teacher who didn’t like my fantasy stuff that turned out well. I was taking a print making class, and my very first print I did a dragon. Just kind of because. I couldn’t think of anything else, and she said subject matter didn’t make any difference, this class was just about technique. So, dragon.
In the critique on it, she mentioned that she thought I should do something more serious than dragons, though she also did say my tehcnique was fine. I kind of got annoyed at being told that dragons weren’t serious enough, so just to be contrary, I put some kind of dragon into every single assignment after that. I even hid dragons in the abstract stuff we did, though I didn’t know if she noticed those.
But she really earned my respect, because even though she didn’t like my dragons at all, she stuck to what she’d said at the beginning, about technique being the most important thing in that class, and gave me an “A” grade anyhow.
