Description
A good portion of the face is done. Scaling around the eyes is a bit tricky, I feel the individual clay particles would look more natural even smaller right around them, but it is very difficult molding them any smaller than I've been doing.Related content

Group Critique: The scaling is looking wonderful, but reading about your trouble with doing around the eye, may I suggest starting from the tail and working up? A really good friend, and wonderful sculptor told me to do that while I was working on mine. Unfortunately, I had already started around the eyes first.
Also, perhaps you could make the scales larger in the middle, and smaller as they go? I notice they are mostly the same size and it doesn't really look natural.
All that aside though, it is looking really cool. <3 I think he/she is adorable.

Thanks! Yeah, the newer dragon I uploaded here a little while ago was scaled from the tail up. It did work better.
Anyhow, thanks for the much appreciated critique!

Yeah I was looking at the finished piece, and it looks great either way. 
Your welcome, I hope it did help even though you were already done with the piece. lol

It can get tedious but it goes by quicker than you might think if you're really "zoning".

I never cease to be amazed at the amount of scalation and integumentary detail you put into your artwork. I imagine it must be incredibly time consuming but hot damn is the end result a sight to behold. It looks like a real animal!
