Description This was a piece that I finished a while back but then I thought it needed something more than just these two pieces on a wood base. So I sculpted a base so I could raise the knight up to the eye level of the dragon. I threw in some burn marks and a charred tree for good measure. I like it a lot more now. Sorry for the poor picture but I didn't have time to set it up for a more professional picture. Will try to do that soon.

Absolutely wonderful piece! Love the humor and obvious skill that combine perfectly to tell the story.

Thank you so very much! I had so much fun putting this piece together. It was fun seeing the
clients reaction when I gave it to her.
I'd love to sculpt it life size one day and see the dragon at about 15 ft. tall or so.

My pleasure!

I hope you do! I'd love to see a "real life" version of him.

Still think this is wonderful, especially as the dragon's expression makes him look slightly apologetic, yet humoured (as though what happened was he simply burped and the knight got in the way).

Thanks so much Rich...
I was really happy with how this piece came out.
It came together even more after I sculpted the base and brought the knight up to eye level.

It's so killer. Your work makes me imagine the story surrounding the characters you're creating. I love that.

Thanks so much Trev!
It's funny because when I first placed the finished bronze pieces on the wood base it really underwhelmed me.
It needed that little something more, so it was worth the extra time and money to make a small landscape that
brought the knight up to the dragons eye level...plus the burnt tree added a small bit of humor too.
It's weird how the little touches can change a story for the better.

Ah, a very nice touch. It's a great addition to setting it off to look like a customized, one off piece. Now that you've gotten that far, I think all it needs now is some kind of brass plate fastened onto it and engraved with something fitting to the title & artist, etc. I love the dragon's expression and if animated, I can almost see the knight quaking in his armor, knees knocking, and a residual blurt puff of smoke coming from the beast's nostrils with a hiccup or burp of course.

I'm really glad that I added the base etc.
It needed something a little more and this seemed to complete it for me.

That's so funny, when I was taking this, Louie stepped in just after I shot the pic.
Between that and the never ending dust bunnies, it's hard to get a semi-professional shot.

I know this is ten days late, (really busy here) so heres a belated LOL 

do you ever find the more you try to keep them out of frame, the more they insist on doing so?

lil munchkin one time came inside, and jumped right up on the backdrop and left a nice little trail of pawprints all over it. im wishing now I had not deleted the picture from my camera.

It's so hard to get mad at them. That's too bad you didn't keep those pix of the paw prints....LOL!

That Knight didn't know what fried him.  Wonder if fried Knight is the same as Fried chicken for us? XP
