Elemental Dragons WIP [air-dry clay sculptures, 2024]

Just because I absolutely love the atmosphere of this shot <3
This dragon is one of four dragon sculptures that have a long story. I started working on them a few years ago. For me, these were some of the first sculptures I made entirely out of air-dry clay. It was supposed to be a simple project both in style and in concept (four dragons representing the four elements). But… something went wrong.
The sculpting process went well; the painting was also successful. And then, according to my plan, there was the stage with epoxy resin… and this stage did not go as planned for two of the four dragons. Looking back now, I realize that the problem with the epoxy resin was easily solved. But I did not have the right tool, so sadly the dragons were put in a closet and locked there for a couple of years.
And then… I got the very tool that could save the situation. It took me a while to get the hang of it and gain confidence that I wouldn't make it worse with my corrections. And then I spent as much as two hours to correct that small mistake, which a couple of years ago seemed to me the final verdict for the sculptures.
And here we are. These dragons are finally ready to show themselves! You can't imagine how happy I am about this - and I can't wait to show you the final pics <3

Thank you!
I was very upset when the problem with the epoxy resin arose. So when a couple of years later this problem turned out to be easily solved, I was very happy. Even though these dragons are quite simple and now I can do much more complex projects, I am still glad that they found their way to completion. ^^
