Melody, now that we have an Old Warrior Dragon, I was wondering if you will ever do a Warrior Dragon in his/her prime? It can be sculpted in a more vigorous mode, getting ready to strike or breath a firebolt, with wings flared out. It can be the protector of the family, the Leonidas(300) or Maximus(Gladiator) of the bunch, the same size as an Old Warrior, who they learned all their fighting skills from. I see the OW drilling them on how to strike with speed and power, and how to achieve maximum flame range and temperature!
Just got to thinking how powerful they would look, because Dragon Master in one of the threads mentioned that the OW would be almost the size of the emperor if he stood up. Would be an awesome dynamic sculpt! I know you’re busy chasing llamas and all, but just something to gnaw away at the back of your mind 😀

OK…doesn’t have to be a ‘vigorous’ pose…just a young badass looking Warrior, jacked to the gills, and a cocky grin on his face, will be fine 😀 It’s the cage fighter in me…hehhee…
September 13, 2007 at 5:49 am #616271I think we’ve all dreamed of a Windstone with outstretched wings, but I think the only way we’ll see that is if Melody ever produces them in pewter or if she ever sketches one. Due to limitations on casting, the wings would be far too heavy and fragile, and would probably break off while the Windstone crew was trying to remove them from their molds. I don’t know a lot about the casting process, but there is somehing called “overhang” they have to consider when thinking about new sculpts. Overhang, from what I understand, is just an amount the critter’s features stick out from its body. Ex: the length of the Emperor’s nose was probably too long to NOT have it touching his body. That’s why Melody’s critters are “squishy” and not with wings and paws and claws all open….although they would be even more breath-taking in poses like that.
I’m hoping one day there might be some new prints of such things 🙂
September 13, 2007 at 5:50 am #616272WOW, in the time it took me to type a reply, there were 2 more! You guys are too fast!
September 13, 2007 at 6:01 am #616273OK,ok…we’re focused too much on the vigorous poses. How about just a Prime Warrior looking tough like the alpha dragon it is! The Conan of Windstone!
One way to do a do a dynamic pose without having wings, etc. stick out is to have a dragon streaking through the air, with his wings swept back, so he would resemble a missle, with snout, long neckrest of the body, bursting out from a cloud, or streaking up or diving down….
BUT…
I just want a Prime Warrior…he could be on a
Lazy-Boy with a bag of cheetos for all I care…September 13, 2007 at 6:02 am #616274WolfenMachine wrote:WOW, in the time it took me to type a reply, there were 2 more! You guys are too fast!
Gotta be fast if you want to be an Alpha Dragon baby! 😈
September 13, 2007 at 11:52 am #616275I would love a new sculpt 😀 Any new sculpt 😆
September 13, 2007 at 1:23 pm #616276It could look like a male dragon, but bigger and more attitude.

EXACTLY I have asked about a dragon with out stretched wings many times and they have said that the wings would be WAY to fragileSeptember 13, 2007 at 4:28 pm #616279Megani-chan wrote:DROGO wrote:he could be on a

I know what you mean; a sleek perfect young warrior. I also need to do an an Empress dragon… I’ll get to it someday!
Right now I’m kneedeep in feathered things. Literally! They are all over the floor of my workspace.The winged cat, phoenix, flion, winged wolf, lion kirin, the hippogriff and the pegasus. -
