I like to imagine that Steven the dragon guardian isn’t sworn to protect the little temple by some sort of ancient covenant or spiritual duty, he just likes the funny little building and the tiny creatures that live in it. He likes watching them walk around the courtyard, and in and out of the buildings, and he wonders what they do all day. Steven’s protection of the temple is more of a happy accident, at anyone who might seek to damage the temple or its inhabitants would have to cross a very large, very protective dragon to do so.

@redwitch12

It could be a reference to a neat little story about a famed painter, Zhang Sengyao, who painted four amazingly lifelike dragons on the walls of a temple, but left the eyes blank. When asked why his artwork was "incomplete", he answered that a dragon's eyes are its spirit, and by giving it eyes, he would be giving it life-force and it would fly away. His statement was considered absurd, and he was urged to "finish" the painting properly. He painted pupils on two of the dragons...and they did, in fact, come to life and fly into the heavens. Or maybe Adam just wanted it to have cool glowing divine eyes or something IDK

I wish you would have added some things to this already gorgeous sculpture (I’m not a sculptor I’m an drawer so I have no clue if any of this would be possible and obviously it looks amazing without all this) 1: I wish you would have added hair to the end of the mustache? Whiskers? Idk 2: wish there was more color depth to the dragon idk maybe more shades of blue or maybe a undertone of purple (I know nothing about paint) 3: I wish you made a little staircase going down the rocks that could be crushed by the dragon like missing peace’s where the dragon is clinging to the rock 4: maybe bridges to the other rocks from the tiny pathway to temples or maybe just a little place with tents because long climb broken bridges would be cool to 5: wish you put little boats in the water or a little dock at the end of the staircase because how you getting there (well I guess they could ride the dragon xD) 6: wish you made the whiskers longer I love it anyway obviously and I’m just a random stranger on the internet criticizing something that I would never be able to do so take everything I say with a grain of salt love you and your absolutely gifted with your skills have a good life

Awesome work! I love the mane! I think it's more copper than gold, but I really think that works better with the dragon's scales. The hide looks kinda like aged copper, so it works very well together.

I love how this came out. Coloring the water a different blue than the dragon may have been an accident, but I think it made the dragon pop more than if they’d both been greenish. Also, I now want to make a whole bunch of somewhat-less-than-1:144 scale temples and outbuildings, for no other reason than because they’re adorable.

I do love that the dragon ended up a protector--luung dragons are typically revered, not feared, after all!

I know you weren't very happy with the dragon's hair but I think it looks really nice against his skin color. This whole thing was right up my alley and I love it dearly. Yet another great piece Adam ^_^

Dear North of the Border, i loved you take on the dragon and how it looked, it was amazing to look at and felt like it came to life, i was wondering if you could consider making kaido , the dragon, from one piece as it would be interesting to see you make it ❤

For the future! Eastern dragons are actually based on mammals, not lizards. So you should be using wolves, lions, deer like guys as reference. The body is usually lizard like, but even that can be covered in fur and fluff. This one looked really good! I like a wester/eastern dragon mix! Looks like mom was Easter and dad was western

that temple is the cutest thing ever! And the dragon went really well, although real chinese dragons must always have five fingers
@SirJayden64
@SirJayden64 Ай бұрын
Actually it should have been 5 fingers because legends say if Chinese Dragons had 5 talons it was a very special dragon, like Shenlong, a dragon that controlled the weather Or it would have been cool if it was like Quetzalcoatl with no legs, and yet they are still well known(also I don’t think it’s Chinese, but whatever) Also, fun fact, Quetzalcoatl is the Morning Star while their twin brother is the Evening Star!
