He has 2 shades of gold (antique gold and gold) plus copper- then I used a “secret technique” haha
to give the dragon an aged patina of sorts.I have to let it sit a bit longer. Then I may need do some detailing– if needed. I will be doing one of each of the PYO’s this way– if you guys actually like it.
The technique gives the paint a look sorta like it has been sitting out in the rain uncared for– but it is completely intentional.
Do we like?

hmm well I guess that would be bad! As with any PYO picures don’t really give the details– plus I just snapped them quick to post… I’ll have better pics later– plus once he is sealed he will look quite a bit different.
it was mainly to see if you liked the idea or not… I’m not doing so hot lately with my pyos huh? First my pics are crap (its my fault too– I just have to practice!) and now this one looks like clay! lol- *sigh* oh well– in real life he is an antique gold– NOT clay hehehe
mipDon’t get discouraged! Keep going. I know I wanted to stop many times on a sculpture that turned out alright in the end! See where it takes you!
From my computer it looks like it needs more details. I can see what Ski was saying…it might be the color that reminds her of clay.

yup- it probably will once the patina is finished. But I have to let that dry fully before I can go in and add all the detailing. The gold and copper are very close in color and only add a hint of shading–
it is still a work in progress!
mipSorry… I meant the color of clay, not that the dragon looked like clay. I think I can see colors on the wings… red, blue, and yellow? Is that so? It is hard to tell. I do think it looks cool, but it didn’t look gold.

hmmm- there is no red blue or yellow on this dragon– are you sure your looking at the right pic? I wonder if it is your monitor!!

mipaActually, I see the same colors that Ski does… 😯
I too see colors in the wings, but I bet it is just the way the light is hitting it. Can’t wait to see it done!!
