Size Matters!

Ok, Melody, I assume your dragons aren’t sculpted actual size, so how big are these dragons supposed to be in “real life”? They are relative in size to one another though, right? Like, mommy dragon is smaller than male, which is smaller than OW which is slightly smaller than Emperor. Is the male dragon the size of a horse or a house? How do you see them interacting with their environment while you were sculpting them? I’m curious how these guys would look, if they decide to visit. It’s sad but I think about these things alot. 🙄

I have two mutually exclusive thoughts on that.
one : I intended Windstone dragons to be exactly the size they are. My underlying concept for the line is that they aren’t statues of dragons, they are Windstones which are exactly what they are, right there in front of you. Like Pocket Dragons(tm), that are really the size they are, and actually present in your room with you. They aren’t statues representing something else. That is one reason my dragons are in somewhat static poses. It makes them seem real and alive, they are just sitting still until you look away. If a dragon statue is roaring and attacking a knight or something, it removes the subject to an imaginary world. It becomes a frozen actor on a stage-like setting that isn’t in your time.. it is hard to explain. There is nothing wrong with this, but it isn’t the concept I have for mine.

two: Then there are the Wizards.
They have Windstone sized dragons with them, but the smaller wizards also are in scale with the adult dragons, the size I pictured dragons should be be. Bigger than a horse, kinda dinosaur size.
The royal hatching baby dragons are a little large to be in scale with the adults, but the adults are in scale with each other.

So they are two sizes at once, one on your desk one in your imagination.

This is the sort of thing that you can do when you ride a hippogriff. Hippogriffs represent the ability to embrace mutually exclusive facts. They carry you to their world where you don’t have to worry about it!

COOL! 😯 It’s awesome that you are flexible, and entertain 2 perspectives on their size. I see them the same way also. Like they’re the size of a cat, basking and carrying on on my shelves, yet in another realm, they’er dino-sized! The SK must ne the size of the male dragon in Reign of Fire!

Your dragons have so much personality! For me it’s because of the tilt of their heads and especially in their eyes. I guess that’s why the Spectrals kinda creep me out a little, though in a cool way 😀

that is what i thought they were. there poses remind me of cats when they are not doing anything important…they just sit relaxed around you. The poses and sizes make them definately have a more real look.

Thanks for putting that into words. That’s exactly how I feel about mine and that’s why so many other dragon sculptures, just aren’t all that interesting to me. 🙂

I thought the pose of the OW was taken from cats too

I like the relaxed look of them too, though if Melody decided to do an active pose I’d definately be interested. 8)
