Description A dragon head I've made in school. Started in October 2007 and finished in March 2008, and have taken about 130 hours.

I have asked myself countless times "What the hell am I doing?" when I made this

Made out of fine-grained white clay, then burned, and painted with acrylics. The surface is sprayed with fixative and the teeth are sealed with very glossy lacquer.

It is about 40 cm long.

if the eyes were more convincing I'd have almost thought you went on a quest to slay an actual dragon pretty sweet work right there! expecially the scales, it's rare to see someone put so much work and time into something as tedious as that.

>.< I wish I had 6 months to make mine I have 3 weeks and It needs to be made out of chicken wire, paper mache, and paint. I hope it turns out atleast half as awesome as this.
