Dragon Bust Sculpt - Finally finished

[Caerban]

After some considerable time I've finally got this fellah done. However, if you spot and serious problems let me know and I'll do my best to rectify them. The look I was trying to acheive is of him dragging himself through some unfortunates magic portal/mirror. So here he is:



I think he went pretty well really. He's the first sculpt in putty I've ever finished (if you don't count his skull  :icon_biggrin2: ) and I've learned quite a lot about putty use and mixing of putties in particular to get the right mixes to do different jobs. Milliput SF white worked well to block out, green stuff bulked out smooth muscle beautifully but Procreate mixes went on better as a thin skin layer and worked best with the texture stamps. Adding Super Sculpey (either normal or firm) to any putty made smoothing easier (particularly for the skin) but too much and you lose stickiness and it won't stay on (about 25% of the mix seemed to work best) and mixing white heavy ProCreate (60% white - 40% black) with Magic Sculp (50-50) gave the perfect mix for shaping with knife and files into sharp edges for the claws (I'll be using the mix for weapon blades in future).
So comments, hints, tips and critique anyone?

He looks brilliant Caerban - he looks just like what you described you wanted the acheive :)  Top marks, that man!  :tip-hat:

amazing  :clap2: :clap2:, will you be painting it?

[Caerban]

Depends. The sculpt was intended for someone else to paint but if she doesn't want it I might give it a go, or offer it up the the talent collective here and on the FoD.

did they ever paint it?

[Caerban]

It's about half done, she's worse than me at paint procrastination :)
