You are so amazing!!!! I used to sculpt and over the years I stopped because of having to work and then the days just weren't long enough to do art work after I came home. I am not working now, seeing you work has inspired me thank you.

Muchas gracias por sus amables palabras. La materia blanca está paño humedecido con pegamento blanco. Dan

As usual, absolutely love the vid's and usually watch them about 3-4 times, stopping here and there. (Took several stops to actually see the glue gun used on the teeth!) And boy does that tinfoil give a great look, especially highlighted! Really love the look of the circles!!

Can I just say that I've been watching your videos for about a month now and I have to say how much I love the stuff you do! I especially love any of your pieces that have to do with dragons. I told my friends about you and they love it too. Thanks again and keep up the amazing work!

These look like Games Workshop figurines. The amount of detail on these is amazing! Good job!

Wow very nice Dan! I have been doing Huichol Indian beaded style skulls with modern designs. Getting a little burnt out on these. I think I am going to give this a try. Thanks for the time lapse and the details. Very impressive. Love your work!

Hello there. Thank you for the nice comment. I use old bed sheets torn into strips for the final "skin". I dip it in white glue. Dan

No, sólo tiene que utilizar Google translate. Yo uso las sábanas viejas cortadas en tiras y se sumerge en el pegamento blanco para las alas. Buena suerte en su proyecto. Dan

Hey Suz, That's funny. I wonder what else you see when you pause. I'm not very good about clearing up backgrounds. My workshop is pretty cluttered. I'm glad you like some of the new details, like the circles. I'm happy with them. They break up large spaces well. Thank you as always for watching and taking the time to comment. Dan

Thank you Pearl. You are always very kind. Dan

Maleficent can be a hard thing to cover, but you nailed it

coolest thing i've ever seen...the "cloth machete" technique seems to give a very fleshy realistic look to it...truly amazing and inspiring. Love the LED idea 2...awesome

Thank you for the inspiration. I am going to make Alduin's head to put on the wall for my husband as he loves Skyrim. Right now im building a small modest eagle. Thanks again, I am really blown away by your work and I love how you break the mold as to regular ol' paper mache into a multi-media art form!

I've been binge-watching your videos for a few days now. This is by far one of the coolest one I've seen! I can imagine this one in a medieval-looking dark room with it being the only source of light! That would be so cool and creepy.

I think it's officially time I start saving all those weekly newspapers! Subscribed because of your amazing work and you are inspiring me to do this, it looks so fun!

Thank you! I added the lights because when I made the first Maleficent commission it was based on the Sleeping Beauty cartoon. The dragon had green light blazing from the eyes and mouth and nose. So that's why I put green l.e.d. lights in that trophy. I wanted to be consistent with this one, but the red lights make it more aggressive I think. Thanks for noticing! (If you are curious about the first sculpture I mentioned, you can see it on my blog. Just follow the link under the video.) Dan

im speechless! your a breath taker sir. i have been a paper mache enthusiast since i was a kid but i have never seen creations as good as yours. your like the master of paper mache. wow!

It's funny but I never check out my backgrounds like normal people would do. Half the time my TV is going in the background or I get a great shot of the kitty litter.

Master hello, I'm from Brazil and I like visual arts in general, I have several works (painting frames) in oil on canvas I am writing to say that motivated by their videos, I decided to create my own dragon and I was happy with the result. I wish u continue to make new videos to encourage their subjects. parabens for its art and continues to teach us.

I am always amazed at how easy you make this look. I know the 3:20 video is a small fraction of the real work time in it...I counted 15 different colored shirts while you built this trophy. You are awesome!

Wow that's super cool I barely started paper maching myself ...I could just barely get a round ball ....seeing your dragon encourages me to push harder to learn more I wish to learn as much as I can from someone as yourself ....I not afraid to fail..just ..lack the conference to try something that elaborate thank you for the ideas and the videos.. I'm one definitely following

i like that workshop! its cool to see some of your other creatures in the background. those should all be on display somewhere.

I would love to see a more detailed video on installing the LED lights. These are just incredible, I do paper Mache, but nothing even approaching this. AMAZING!

Thank you so much for this comment! I'm very flattered. Dan

You make such amazing sculptures!

Muchas gracias Vampy por sus amables palabras. Ellos son muy apreciados. Buena suerte en sus proyectos. Dan

Gracious! Dan

have to say you made paper mache look amazing

Каждый раз смотрю ваши видео и оболдеваю!!!! Очень круто!!!!! БРАВО Мастеру!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just WOW man!! Really cool stuff. I have always been into art and music. Actually got to tour the country for 3 years in a country band. I have since taken a desk job for the government but I have always been interested in special effects, monster making, makeup, etc... I made some really atrocious monster masks and things out of paper mache a long time ago for our home movies. HAHA. This is an unbelievable talent you got. I really enjoy seeing your work man.

Thank you John! Dan

Hello Rose. You are the sweet one. Thank you for this nice comment! I love Mexican Catrinas. I guess that's why I probably won't make one. I have friends who make fantastic catrinas. I think I'll leave those to the experts. Take care Dan

Wwwwwoooooooooowwwwwww!!!!!!! It is so detailed! Love the colors too.

You inspired my 11 year old son. He is now making a huge mess in the kitchen. Lol! Beautiful work!

That is awesome! I love the addition of the lights.

Preciosos trabajos gracias por tus videos y compartir tu fabuloso talento saludos de Argentina

You sir are a GOD! Brag a little. You've earned it.

Thank you Fatima! Dan

I love watching you work as much as I love the final pieces (and I like those an awful lot!). Really enjoying the videos :)

my daughter (7) told me "tell him it's super extra cool !" well, she and i love what you do ;) from France

Wow...wish I had your skills...I am creating a play and need a dragon's head...yours are AMAZING... Very creative and entertaining to watch...Keep up your beautiful art :)

heyyyy increible no ma canso de atmirarte muy muy buen travajo

Hello Ginger. Actually, I cheat a little. After sculpting with paper mache pieces, I put on a "skin" of cloth (old bed sheets torn into strips) dipped in white glue. It makes the projects very strong and allows for more detail than paper alone. Thank you for the kind remarks. Dan

Amazing art work.

Thank you. I actually made a Maleficent last year as a commission. You can see it on my blog if you are interested, PaperMacheBlog (dot com). There is a link under the video. This is her "son". I appreciate the nice comment! Dan

¡Excelente, maravilloso trabajo!

Me fascinan sus vídeos por lo que elabora, felicidades

You are my sons hero 8 and mine too)! I just got your book "A Dargonmakers Handbook"- so now I know what to try to do during the christmas break ;-) This blue dragon is fantastic!!!!

Thank you again Ginger. I appreciate the kind words. Dan

Hello! I've been watching these videos non-stop for a few days now, and I can't get these spectacular creations off of my mind! I'm thinking of creating one myself. Would you be willing to give me a list of things to purchase to create one and maybe an estimated cost? Thank you so much for your inspiring and creative masterpieces! I'm truly honored to be able to watch your process and see everything that you do here! Once again, thank you and keep up the fantastic work!! Brittany

THAT LOOKS EPIC

That's not a bad idea. It would take a while to finish though, a couple months probably. Dan

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely incredible! Now i am ready to make one of my own. One question: How do you stop the wires behind the plaque from tearing up the wall? It is not in any of your videos. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.

Eso sería divertido. ¡Gracias! Dan

That was, is really cool and inspiring. Thanks for doing that video!

Okay, thank you!

Cara ficou lindo! Curto muito seu trabalho

Hi Dan, i don't think of that as cheating, i think its genius, i never thought to use fabric....amazing work!!!!

Dan you are the best !!!

she's beautiful

t's the best dragon you've ever made

I've seen it, also awesome. I follow you religiously :)

Your videos are so enjoyable to watch! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with the world :)

I live your work! So incredibly inspiring!! Haha keep up the great work!

Excellent work, this is just amazing.

Awesome! I will

Great job

Wow that is so fantastic...you are a true artist, love it... i make paper mache dollhouses, and i was wondering what kind of paper is the white sheet that you used to cover the dragon, and wings?

You are who I wish I could be.

Love your work! I may try sculpting a dragon, very inspiring stuff.

Wow this is so amazing

Amazing !

Awww Dan you are the sweetest guy ever!!! You use google translate to reply to your fans!!! that is so cool!!!! You are soooo talented I loved the dragon!!!! by the way, will you ever make a Mexican Catrina??

I love Chinese dragons! I've made a few. Just don't have videos of them. Dan

Wow that's amazing

Thank you so much for the tutorial, using it I was able to create one similar for my son for Christmas! I wish I had more time to create work such as this, yours are awesome.

Once again Dan u have sent me in awww awesome job sir!!!

how much time you give for that amazing dragon?! tell me please I want to do it too *-* but I'm 12 it does not have problem for me. I think,i can do it too.

Hijole! Your work is just fantastic! I love it! You make it look easy. I think I will take up this hobby. I was reading that this took you five weeks! Wow! I will focus on something real small. Again, love your work! My kids and I have found your site as our new channel to spend quality time watching. /fuerte abrazo!

Beautiful ❤

Can you teach step by step, how to make a dragon mask please?

Que genio!! Saludos desde Argentina

Que trabalho maravilhoso.. Gostaria de aprender a fazer também. Sou encantada por esse tipo de arte

Te quedó muy bien este dragon

good job

I love it! fantastic!!!

Wow , It's amazing !!

Oh I want to make it

guy, you are so creative that you could create the alpha dragon from how to train your dragon 2

Magnificent work ! Thank you x 10

Oh boy your work is truly remarkable. I've started to work with paper mache myself and I can't imagine the time and effort you must have put into this project. How many days / weeks did it take you to create that beauty?

what are all the materials you used

Shut up and take my money!!! LOL Actually, I was just wondering how much something like this would run if one were to commission it. I don't know if I could make it, but you are amazing.

That head look so real

Obrigado Johan. Eu aprecio o bom comentário. Eu estarei postando algumas instruções em breve no meu blog. Se você se inscrever, você será notificado quando isso acontece. Dan

Awesome.
