The Gaping Dragon sculpture I made for Namco Bandai. 3 foot wide wingspan. 150ish teeth. Took about 6 weeks to build. Finished in in late sept 2011. Seen on ign.com's live broadcast of Dark Souls on sept 30th 2011. Made from magic sculpt and painted in acrylics.
Another WOW! My fave boss (cuz I killed it in first go. Like, the ONLY boss I killed in the first go). Awesome stuff, but dont leave it sitting there! It might fall off!!!
Hey man, thanks so much. Magic Sculpt dries to about as hard as a rock- so it's a bit brittle on the thin parts. I use wires for armature where ever I can, plus aluminum foil and masking tape to build up some of the thick structures. Wet magic sculpt also sticks to dry magic sculpt, so you can build in layers (like when creating the sets of teeth, I had to do it in about 4 stages, from inner to outer). I order it from taxidermy.com, and I get 2 sets of 20 lb kits at a time (one set of 20 lbs can easily last me a year). It's my favorite clay, and so easy to work with.
The tattered bits on the wings are a lovely touch. The paint texturing/scales and THE TEETH. My god.
If only every RPG boss were so uniquely done. A lot of love clearly went into this. How delicate is magic sculpt, and where do you get it?
