Oooo! Loving him. I’d love to paint a few of those myself :love:
Most definitely. Terrific work, I envy both your skill and your patience in cutting in all those tiny scales!
Thanks for the compliments. I just finished up all the wing claws and am working on scaling the tail.
Wing claws done, tail scaled and cheek area detailed. I also “sharpened” the large neck ridges. All that is left now is scaling the wing fingers and an over-all detail and clean up. It took me a week of working two hours a day to scale the tail so I should have the wing fingers done… oh, next month some time? lol
I am not sure what I want to do with the wing fingers either. The scales I have on the wing shoulders are just too deep and blocky to carry through the whole wing. I am at a stand still until I can make up my mind about that.
He is so close to being finished now. I have started to look at various molding mediums in anticipation of casting him. I need something very good to pick up all those tiny details.
This is an absolutly brilliant sculpture in such tiny detail. You have a remarkable skill with such a small work surface. Gorgeous.
So cute . Are you going to paint him when your done or leave him as is ?
Probabily not this particular one. I will have plenty of Little Buggers to play with once I get the mold made, so the “original” will stay unpainted in case I need to make another mold. But once I get to where I feel my painting skills are up for it I will likely paint him then. A paint job shouldn’t effect any future mold making if it is done well and thinly.
Bugger and I had a huge fight tonight. I took a break and week off of scaling him. I wasn’t idle though and spent many hours combing the internet for reference photos to help my get an idea of how to scale out his wing fingers. I finally blended together some different lizard scale patterns in my head to get a good mental picture of what I wanted.
Well I started with one of the shorter wing fingers tonight and began scaling. No sooner had I finished three scales than His Royal Highness Bugger decided he didn’t like what I was doing. He didn’t want his scales done that way thank you very much! He really is a brat you know?
So after much frustration, choice word uttering and me at the brink of tears we finally reached a compromise. I would do it his way and he would behave.
Don’t tell him but I think his way does look better. But I DID NOT SAY THAT! And if you tell him I will deny everything.

LOL–This sounds like me arguing with two of the characters in my current WIP. I know that feeling all too well, right down the choice words & brink of tears.
Can’t wait for the next update!
He is looking really amazing. I am really impressed with this little guy and his name is just perfect.
