My sculptures last indefinitely. I've had some for over 30 years. Dan

Thank you! I'm very happy you like him. I appreciate the comment. Dan

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. It's always nice to hear from you. Dan

I'm sorry. It's a long story, but I lost my KZfaq channel. When I got it back I lost all of my subscribers, almost five thousand of them. So none of them, like you, got any notice about this new video. I'm so glad you found it. Thank you for your support. Dan

Hey Stella, Your alien scull....THAT is cool. Thank you as always. Dan

Hey there. Actually, the scales are also cloth. After sculpting with paper mache I add a "skin" of cloth (old bed sheets as you mentioned) dipped in white glue. I call the process "cloth mache" for lack of a better term. Good luck! Have some fun! Dan

You are a crazy musician John! I'm glad you found me. I accidentally erased my KZfaq channel a few weeks ago when I erased a Google profile. It was a nightmare. I was able to retrieve my videos but lost all of my subscribers, 4,500 of them. So none of my friends have been notified of my new video. Thank you for you support. You are always too kind. Dan

Este es el primer comentario! Muchas gracias por sus amables palabras. Me alegro de que te gusten mis vídeos. tener cuidado Dan

Thank you. I have made birds.  I used colored feathers from hobby supply stores and hot glue. I appreciate the nice comment. Dan

You can see this build on my blog. Just follow the link under the video. That will help you more than my explanation here I think. Good luck. Dan

I just want to say thank you for this amazing tutorials. I started doing paper mache and I'm doing it well. The pieces I created are awesome, and its all thanks to you!!! :))

Hola Vampy. Es bueno saber de ti! Gracias por su apoyo. Es muy apreciado. Espero que su propio arte va bien. Dan

My son loves your work says that when he grows up , he wants to build huge dragons, excellent job !!!!!!!

Hace Mas De 2 Años Que Vi Uno De Sus Videos & Los Ame, Y Es Hasta El Dia De Hoy Que Sigo Admirando Su Trabajo, Es Un Gran Artista! Cordiales Saludos.

Hi there, I've made several birds over the years. I just haven't done any videos of them. But perhaps..... Thank you for stopping by. Dan

OMG this is Drogon one of the Dragon of Daenerys Targaryen it was named after her late husband. I remember when she said "Zaldrīzes buzdari iksos daor" meaning A dragon is not a slave. Dan, you are amazing! It's 2:15 am now here in the Philippines and I keep hitting the re-play button.

You have inspired my 2 boys aged 7 and 9 to do a paper mache dragon for their school "family Art" competition!! Thank you for sharing all your fantastic Paper mache art! It's amazing! :)

Hey again, I think it's really an illusion with the camera. It isn't that smooth if you were to see it in person. The one thing that helps is to build tension into the tape. I touch on end of the tape and then pull the tape across. It gets pretty tight that way. Good luck Dan

Hello Ally. Thank you for the nice comment! After sculpting with paper mache pieces, I put on a final "skin" of cloth (old bed sheets) dipped in white glue (Elmer's or PVA). There is more information on my blog if you are interested. Just follow the link under the video. Take care Dan

I use polymer clay, like Super-Sculpy or Fimo for teeth and claws. Spikes are just wire, paper and tape. There is much more information on my site and I show many sculptures being made on my blog. Just follow the links under the video. Dan

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it my video. Dan

Wow! He's beautiful! Amazing to see how far paper mache has come as an artform.

Love that cat...looks like she is into it too! Your work is what legends are made of...EPIC!

i thought the white off - white color combo was awesome, but black & grey was more fantasy - like. either way, awesome job. i cannot praise ur commitment & hard work enough. best original work i've seen on KZfaq in a while.

Amazing! What patience! Great work!

I use taxidermy eyes. You can find the companies online. Dan

Wow Christian, I'm very flattered! Yes, this is one of "Dani's dragons". My interpretation after reading the books and watching the TV series. Thank you again. Dan

I get eyes from taxidermy companies. Just google "glass eyes taxidermy" and you'll find them all. Dan

I must have gotten the 16mm then. I got them from that site. 25mm is too big I think. Dan

Thank you again. And good luck! Dan

Very good likeness. And amazing stance. Totally love it. Question: Wire hangers are cheaper than getting just the wire? ;-)

your cat shows up in so many of your videos, i still love them ALL, you are an amazing person for doing all this, you are so talented, keep on making them

I absolutely LOVE your work as I too have a "fetish" about dragons. I have to turn green with envy at the TALENT you have.

I watched a lot of your videos in the last few hours and cant wait to try out making my own paper mache art but as game of thrones fan i have to admit i love this one most of all the things I watched you building

I show a few dragons being made on my blog. Just follow the link under the video. You can see all the steps there. The white material is cloth (an old bed sheet) dipped in white glue. Thank you for your kind words. Good luck! Dan

My goodness this is amazing. Your dragon videos are my inspiration for my house decorating! Thank you for sharing!

oi, eu sou brasileira, venho te parabenizar pelo trabalho!!! você é sensacional!!! hi, I'm Brazilian, I come to congratulate you for the work!! you are sensational!! hola, soy brasileña, vengo a felicitarte por el trabajo! usted es sensacional!

You are a MASTER. I'm really impressive for your great job, The sculpture and the colors are fantastic. I will try to do a sculpture. Thanks.

You are funny! Sorry, I meant hands only in the paper mache paste. Don't put the strips of paper into the paste. With the cloth and glue, you DO put the cloth in the glue and squeeze out the extra with your hands. Good luck! Dan

I love the part where you reveal the eyes. The beast just comes to life! What do you use for the eyes? They look amazing. Thanks for sharing these videos, they're quite entertaining and awe inspiring!

Thank you for all the tips and links!

ur an amazing person with a lot of talent. U can pretty much make anything out of paper mache

so Amazing, awesome music as well.

Mesmerizing!

This is sooo awesome ! I know you must have heard it a million times by now, but once again from me, you are really really talented !!

Oh cool dragon dark ^^

I would love to see an artist like you do Smaug from The Hobbit.

Thank you! You should make one. Just a little effort and newspaper and tape. Give it a try! Dan

You have TALENT ! omg . I want one .

Your work is amazing my friend! Congratulations!

I got those eyes at glasseyes (dot com). They are in the UK. But I altered the a bit. I wanted some white around the red, so I ground some of the paint off and put white in. I think they were around 20mm. Dan

es realmente admirable tu trabajo no se si me recuerdas soy vampy la verdad eres una inspiración humana felicidadez

Wow beautiful awesome !!! Great work !!!

Eccezionale ! Un capolavoro Artigianale ! BRAVOO WOW !

FINALY U0YOU MADE ANOTHER VIDEO :D IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG!!!

Best youtuber ever

Subscribed! I've always been a fan of creative arts! You're making me want to make something now haha

Amazing very talented!

Oh. If you ever do make a bird of a feathered creation again, it'd be cool to see how you go about making the feathers. BUT UR VIDS ARE AMAZING AND INSPIRING! Good work. ;)

This is a great video, I downloaded it and put the speed down so I could see the steps ! (I already got to a point where I can't hear the music anymore) AND it's the only good one on KZfaq which is quite an achievement. Ps: I looked In every shop but couldn't find the wings material :(

The best vids to see in vel: 25%. Thanks for share. 👍

Hola. Lo siento, no hablo español. Yo uso Google translate. No traducir su mensaje con exactitud. No estoy seguro de lo que has dicho. Pero gracias por su atención. Dan

eşti un mare artist şi meriți tot respectul meu

you are total fan of dragons i am a total fan of you! :D

It's official. I'm addicted to your videos :| Simply amazing. Just one question...on your blog, you said ONLY your hands go in the paste. So when applying the torn bed sheets (for wings, or fins), do you lay them out on your workstation first and apply the paste before draping them over the frame? Or drape the sheet, then apply the paste?

the masking tape is so precious all hail masking tape

This is really cool

love your videos you need more subs

Amazing!!!!

Amazing !!

your dragons are so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sus videos son muy grandiosos

Do you also use taxidermy teeth? What do you use for the spikes? Just wire and tape or are those some kind of taxidermy things, too? Thanks! PS I really love that you take the time to respond to questions on here. The videos are wonderful on their own but I think it's really great that you try to help as much as you can via comments. Please keep posting videos! It's awesome to see your creatures come to life! :D

Awesome 👍👍👍

Lindoooo, parabens pelo trabalho, td nos minimos detalhes !

Lo siento. He utilizado Google Translate, y ese es el lenguaje que pensaba que era. Dan

Hey Dude!!! AMAZING!!!!!!
