Cornel Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I very like the express of your newest dragon ! Thanks for sharing, Cornel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I really like the flow of the dragon body with the shape of the handle. That was incorporated very nicely. Nice work. How long did this take you? Are those burn marks on the bottom of the leg or is it just in the photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurent GERDIL Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Thanks to you for your comments ! Nice that you like his express, cornel! I wanted him roguish and a little bit sensual, I am rather satisfied with it! Andrew: they are not marks of burning : it is the rest of the outside part of the teeth as you can see on the picture And it took me about 60, 70 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnus homestead Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hello Laurent, Beautiful carving!! Many dragons seem to be related to lizards, with scales and hard bodies - this seems more like a salamander with a smooth, soft skin - I like it very much. Thank you for inspiring us!

laurent GERDIL Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Thanks to all for these very encouraging compliments!! Natasha: You know I realy like much dragons too, they exist in all civilizations and are often very different!! There are many things to be made with them! Magnus : Yes, as I wanted him rather sensual, it was not needed scale but a smooth skin! And that changes a little ! Thanks for all again ......and happy new year !!
