So I've got a dragon featuring in my next painting (my first?). I doodled and sketched a few dozen possibilities for the head, but wasn't quite hitting it. So I thought I'd bring in the third dimension and do my next "sketch" in clay to see if I could hit what I was looking for. I think I did! I might play w/ some extra spines (I know I want a spiney tail, so the head has to gel with that), but I think the dragon in the final piece is going to look one hell of a lot like this maquette.
