Artist's Comments

Well, hereīs my pride and favourite sculpture so far. ^__^ Doing him took many months (probably mostly I was being lazy quite long 9__9 ). Tried to do as much detail I could, and even all the scales are sculpted separately, one by one.

Heīs my oldest still-life rpg-character, young purple dragon named Spyro (Yeah, I know. He has nothing to do with the videogame, Iīm just horrible thinking up names =P ) in his real form, with his little cat-friend. Heīs the same dragon than the one in the drawing "Dragonīs shadow" somewhere in my gallery, if someoneīs interested.

He was done of clay and wire, then painted with acrylics and nailpolish. Too bad though the photos donīt show the real colour of his scales, heīs really very dark purple with small metallick colour. I even spend some money to buy him brown plastic eyes. ^__^ Didnīt make the cat, btw, itīs just a small toy I got from easter egg years ago.

Thanks. ^^ Pegasus really sounds like a hard creature to sculpt with mane and wings and all... I didnīt use "real" clay on my sculptures, I just have no idea what it is called. Its pretty easy to shape and donīt need to be baked in oven at all for the sculpture to dry out.

It's a very awesome sculpture. Great details, very colourful and shiny. Those scales must have taken HOURS. :+fav:

You can disagree with me, but it doesn't mean you're right.

Definitely a fave. <3

Thank you!
The scales took FOREVER. Of course I had to deside that I have to make scales everywhere, even in his armpits where they couldnīt even bee seen. XD
