I'm so sorry that the first few hundred viewers had to watch ads! I purchased the rights to this music TODAY. I even filled out a section during the purchase about the video and my channel that was supposed to prevent a copyright challenge. No more purchases from that company! I hate ads. I've never monetized for that reason. That RUclips puts ads on videos before notifying the creators is outrageous and needs to be stopped. That's my rant. Thanks for watching.
GourmetPaperMache standing for your ideals are good and all. Mr we have been watching adds our whole life, an other 3 sec for this wonderful video wouldn't make me feel worse, on the contrary i would be happy if you got something out of it. One of the best dragons!
Thank you Daniel! Yes, it took a while. So glad you approve of this one. I know I left the color scheme behind. I really wanted to build in some fire. Take care
That's very nice of you to say. I have had a few comments on Facebook from people who don't like the colors I added. But then I also got a very nice compliment from the creator of Alduin, Jonah Lobe, which was very nice as well.
I absolutely love how the subject matter is almost always the same and that somehow you are consistently able to make each piece unique and individualized. At the start of each video, I wonder how you will make it different from the last dragon, and you never fail to deliver. Thank you for taking the time to share your work.
That's very nice of you to say! Thank you! Well, for what it's worth, the next video will be very different. No trophy just fun. I really appreciate you taking the time to write. Take care
Okay Dan, You have finally convinced me to yield and get your book. I want to learn how to do this the right way. I hope I can do you justice. I love every dragon you have ever made and have always been jealous of your supreme talents in making these. You are a master at making these amazing dragons. I will always be your fan and follower. I can't wait for the book to show up I will be showing it off.
I have followed Dan for a long time now and have always been so grateful to see Dan at work , he is in my mind a master in his own right, long may his art continue absolutely brilliant.Rob UK
What a nice note Rob! I really appreciate your support. It makes me happy to know that you still enjoy these even though many are very similar. I promise something a little different next video. Take care Dan
That is some serious evolution from your early dragons right there and I just salute you for such amazing next-level creation right there, especially seeing how the lighting (when it comes to wires) looks pretty messed up until it's incorporated into the dragon itself. Respect!
Thank you Phillip! Always nice to here from you! I never in the world thought I would be using glitter on anything. It's bad for the environment. But I really needed something to help project those little led lights out from under the scales. After much experimenting glitter (and some orange and yellow paint, not found on Alduin) was the only solution. It had to be done. Very glad you like it! Take care Dan
Your artistic innovation is something to be admired. I really like how you added the metallic accents onto a fiery scale, all the while being added to a contrasting, gargoyle-grey skin. All these little details really highlight the LEDs and make it seem as if a ball of fire is erupting from within the dragon’s chest. Truly remarkable!
Wow, you are right! But I worked very hard to keep it under control because I didn't want my cats getting it on them. So I cleaned obsessively with each application. I think I pretty much got it all. Thanks!
Another awesome job Dan ! What I really like ,other than the fantastic finished product, is the fact that you constantly change the method in which you construct each individual dragon !
I've watched all your videos, some quite a few times and i love them , but i am absolutely inspired by how you just keep getting better and better. Awesome work sir, a pleasure to watch.
So awesome! He looks so fancy with all the glitter! I feel so inspired everytime, I really want to make my own dragon trophy some day!! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you as always! I must admit getting severely obsessed with the lights on this one so much that it left the actual coloration of Alduin behind. But that happens once in a while. Take care Dan
So funny. We just emailed in April (I'm an old student of yours from Lake Hills) and got to talking to my kids about you today; then I figured I check your RUclips channel to see if you had anything new; and you posted this just a couple weeks after we chatted. As it happens, my daughter was asking about your process; and this video answered all her questions except the one she kept repeating throughout: "How does he make it look so realistic!"
Thank you Cernunnas! Yes, the glitter is a little overboard. I was really trying to project the little led light forward. The glitter worked best. This was indeed a very labor intensive project. But I don't mind the work.
You are very kind. I'm happy to answer questions. Also, I am currently showing the build, step by step, of an "Ice Dragon" on my Facebook Page if you are interested. My page is called Gourmet Paper Mache -Dan Reeder.
I have been following you for awhile now. Love the new website, sorry about the old website. This is a stunning creation. I bought your Monster book, and, for the next phase of my artistic life, I will be embarking on creating paper mache critters, etc. Not sure I am up to doing a lighting project, though. And, any man who loves cats, cannot be all bad...lol
Thank you very much Darlene! You sound a lot like me! I retired from teaching (after 40 years) to just do my art and play with the cats. Perfect. Good luck to you on your next phase. P.S. Yes, I'm not all that bad...maybe just a little. :-)
wow! i just found your videos and honestly...i've never seen anything like this done before! i love all of your dragons! they are some of the most beautiful creations i've ever seen. definitely binge-watching all of your videos today. keep up the awesome work, man.
We all lament the passing of time. But I have realized my dream. I have been very successful with my careeer and my art. I'm completely happy with my age.
Thanks Slugstoppa! So nice to hear from you! You have been watching these for many years! Yes, this one was very time consuming. It just took a while to get done. Hope all is well.
So glad you like these! I know it's been a while since I've been able to put a video out. But I'm currently making one and will have a video soon. Take care
Dude that’s amazing! I’ve seen a lot of your work at school when we were doing paper mache and you were my favourite artist out of the people that the teacher showed us. My teacher was really surprised when I told her I got a reply from you on one of you other videos haha. And a creation from Skyrim! Always thought it would be cool lol. Great work as always dude. Tanner Ps this is my new favourite dragon you’ve made.
The thing is you don't have to choose. You follow the method and watch it evolve. That way there is not the disappointment that can come with a preconceived idea and what you get is something unique. Give it a try. You will love it.
I love your work, please upload more videos. I have the book "Paper Mache Dragons" but i don know if i have the talent to do this. More videos please!!!
Hey, nice dragon like always ^^. Last month i had my final Art-project at school and i used you as a reference for my work. Thank you for inspiring me to use papermache, i had a lot of fun to do this work. Im sorry for my bad english ^^ Greetings from Germany

No problem at all
It is okay don't be shy, by the way I am from Philippines
GourmetPaperMache , you should use music provided by RUclips. They have a nice selection of music - all types.
Hmmm. I'll check that out. Thanks!
An upload from you? And a creation from skyrim? What a nice way to end the day :D
Thanks! What a nice thing to say! I had countless requests for Alduin. Had to give it a try.
After all these years, you finally finished the main storyline. I can't blame you, those side quests... there are so many of them
Thank you Daniel! Yes, it took a while. So glad you approve of this one. I know I left the color scheme behind. I really wanted to build in some fire. Take care
I actually prefer this over the original. The firstborn of Akatosh really benefits from the added fiery colours.
Keep up the good work.
That's very nice of you to say. I have had a few comments on Facebook from people who don't like the colors I added. But then I also got a very nice compliment from the creator of Alduin, Jonah Lobe, which was very nice as well.
Obviously this begs the question, you gonna do Paarthurnax?
Soooo many dragons to do! Maybe sometime. Thanks!

I'm very flattered. I think you will enjoy this medium! You will make something you love, I guarantee it.
So impressed with all the small detail. The size of the finished art work is awesome. No little piggy banks for this guy.
Thank you Kala!
I have followed Dan for a long time now and have always been so grateful to see Dan at work , he is in my mind a master in his own right, long may his art continue absolutely brilliant.Rob UK
What a nice note Rob! I really appreciate your support. It makes me happy to know that you still enjoy these even though many are very similar. I promise something a little different next video.
Take care
Dan
Amazing! Love how you lighted this guy up. I need to try that. Again I am in awe of your dragon mastery. Thank you for another epic video.
Thanks Raymond! Glad you like this one.
That is some serious evolution from your early dragons right there and I just salute you for such amazing next-level creation right there, especially seeing how the lighting (when it comes to wires) looks pretty messed up until it's incorporated into the dragon itself.
Respect!
Thank you very much! Yes, I ended up with lots of loose wires on this one! But they worked, so I'm happy. Take care
Dan, you're such an amazing artist! I'm so glad you made another video. Watching you make these sculptures really makes my day!
Thanks as always Anthony! I'm very flattered.
You, sir have done the impossible; you have made glitter cool. Impressive as always.
Thank you Phillip! Always nice to here from you! I never in the world thought I would be using glitter on anything. It's bad for the environment. But I really needed something to help project those little led lights out from under the scales.

All these little details really highlight the LEDs and make it seem as if a ball of fire is erupting from within the dragon’s chest.
Truly remarkable!
That's exactly the effect I was trying to get with the lights . So glad you like it! Much appreciated!
Amazing work as always. Seems like on each project you completely outdo yourself.
Thank you Shawn! This one was quite a bit more time consuming.
Genial, crei que habia dejado youtube por un tiempo, menos mal que vuelve de nuevo con uno de sus exelentes trabajos!
Gracias. No me fui. Simplemente lleva mucho tiempo para algunos proyectos y la edición de videos, etc. ¡Agradezco su apoyo!
Not sure how I managed to NOT see this masterpiece for 3 years. Im in literal awe- that is SO COOL
That is such a nice thing to say! Thank you very much Garlic!
Mesmerising watching you make your dragons, you make it seem so simple, Alduin is stunning.
Thank you Chrissy! That is very nice of you to say.
Спасибо большое за то,что продолжаете снимать такие вот чудесные видео,которые радуют глаз)
Вы большой молодец!
Вы очень добры! Спасибо за очень хороший комментарий! Я ценю это много!
I so enjoy your videos and you helper cats too. You do such great work. They all look so amazing.
That is very nice of you to say Debbie! Thank you again. It is much appreciated.
I can only imagine how much glitter you will be finding all over the shop for a while. Beautiful work.
Wow, you are right! But I worked very hard to keep it under control because I didn't want my cats getting it on them. So I cleaned obsessively with each application. I think I pretty much got it all. Thanks!
Another awesome job Dan ! What I really like ,other than the fantastic finished product, is the fact that you constantly change the method in which you construct each individual dragon !
Hey Brian. Thank you very much! Each project seems to dictate something different. Glad you like this one. Take care
Always happy to see your projects.
You have been with me for many years! Thank you as always! Hope all is well with you.
Wonderful! C'est toujours un plaisir de voir l'une de vos vidéos. Cet Alduin est vraiment magnifique :p
Vous êtes toujours très favorable. J'apprécie beaucoup! Je vous remercie!
Beautiful. Alduin is a cool dragon to do. Loved the added sparkle and lights!
Thank you! I spent a lot of time experimenting with ways to get the lights right. Glad you like it!
I just ordered your book. I look forward to learning. Your work is truly wonderful.
Sorry just seeing your comment. I hope you are enjoying yourself! I'm happy to answer any questions. Have fun!
Your work keeps going to greater heights!
Thank you so much!
I've watched all your videos, some quite a few times and i love them , but i am absolutely inspired by how you just keep getting better and better. Awesome work sir, a pleasure to watch.
Thank you for the kind words Michael. Made my day. Take care
Your video proves that paper mache can be a very accurate form of sculpture! Great work!
That's a very nice thing to say! Thank you!
You always know how to brighten my days with one of your awesome creations, just love them
Hey NogoodNikki! It's always nice to hear from you! You make my day! Thank you as always!
Just found your video. Absolutely stunning-beautiful work. Just to watch you work (even in time lapse) is a treat. Thank you!
Very glad you like the work! Thanks!
WOW this glowing Dragon Mount is priceless!!!! That looks amazing. I love dragons and always have you make me love them even more. Thank you for that.
Thank you so much Benton! That is very nice of you to say!
One of your most amazing, monster man.
You are very kind as always. Thank you so much for your support!
Incredible work. Excellent as always.
Thank you very much! You are very kind as always.
Your work is beyond incredible
What a nice comment! Thank you so much!
Unbelievably good!I love his expression ❤️
That is very nice of you to say! Thank you Denise!
So awesome! He looks so fancy with all the glitter!
I feel so inspired everytime, I really want to make my own dragon trophy some day!! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you for the nice remarks Sally! Glad you like this one. Yes, give it a try. It's very satisfying work.
Another amazing bit of work! Love how you've been incorporating LEDs into your sculptures! Keep up the inspiring work!
Thank you as always! I must admit getting severely obsessed with the lights on this one so much that it left the actual coloration of Alduin behind. But that happens once in a while. Take care

So funny.

So nice to hear from you again! I'm very flattered by your daughter's question. I'm glad she found the videos helpful. Take care
Dan
I’ve been watching your videos for so long. Just wanted to tell you that you are amazing and keep doing exactly what you’re doing ❤️
Thank you! Yes, you have watched them for a while. And you always say nice things. I really appreciate it. take care
My favorite part off all the videos is. When the paint comes off the eyes.
That's my favorite part too. I always enjoy doing that. It seems to come alive. Thank you!
Amazing work as usual, Dan. Wow! Glitter, huh? Who would have thought! It must have taken soooo much effort and time.... keep it up!
Thank you Cernunnas! Yes, the glitter is a little overboard. I was really trying to project the little led light forward. The glitter worked best. This was indeed a very labor intensive project. But I don't mind the work.
Ah, such a realistic sculpture of a cat. Very beautiful.
Yes, that fur was a pain to apply! Thank you!
Amazing I love your new technique with foil in the glitter!
Glitter....It almost killed me! So glad you like it! Thank you!
Wow. Alduin. I Never Thought I'd See This Creation.
Thank you! Yes, I got many requests for this one. Had to give it a try. Glad you approve!
Wow, I can't not to admire on your videos! I have so many question, hope to get my copy of your book soon. Keep creating please !
You are very kind. I'm happy to answer questions. Also, I am currently showing the build, step by step, of an "Ice Dragon" on my Facebook Page if you are interested. My page is called Gourmet Paper Mache -Dan Reeder.
I have been following you for awhile now. Love the new website, sorry about the old website.
This is a stunning creation.
I bought your Monster book, and, for the next phase of my artistic life, I will be embarking on creating paper mache critters, etc.
Not sure I am up to doing a lighting project, though.
And, any man who loves cats, cannot be all bad...lol
Thank you very much Darlene! You sound a lot like me! I retired from teaching (after 40 years) to just do my art and play with the cats. Perfect. Good luck to you on your next phase.

Thank you so much for the nice note Katharine! I'm very flattered. Take care
I can't help sighing at the time when you see your old hair. Wish you good health!
I try to edit out my "old hair". Guess I missed some. I am old, but healthy. Thanks for the concern.
I just lamented the passing of time. Can't give you the time of your youth to create a dream
We all lament the passing of time. But I have realized my dream. I have been very successful with my careeer and my art. I'm completely happy with my age.
yep.may god bless you
I love your "old hair" 😂😂😂
Insanely good. I always love your videos.
Thank you! I'm very flattered and really appreciate the nice comment!
You just. keep. getting. better. and. better!!!! :) A dragon that sparkles AND lights up! AMAZING! :)
You are very kind. Thank you so much for taking the time as always to write! It is much appreciated! I hope all is well.
This my favorite so far. MAJESTIC
Thank you Josso! I'm glad you like this one!
Absolutely fantastic !
Ther's a lot of gamers that would happily throw money at this, perhaps consider putting this on the Skyrim Reddit ?
Thanks for the nice remarks Robo Rat! Much appreciated.
How amazing is this!! You've outdone yourself! Keep them coming.😉
Thank you Geoff!
beautiful your new dragon, I remained taped from beginning to end.
Thank you Kelly. I really appreciate the nice comment!
You're an umbelievable artist!!!!! Just fantastic!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 your work is amazing!!!
You are very kind Monica! Thank you so much for the wonderful comment!
I admire you and your work from the time I started watching your channel! 😀😀😀😄😄😄😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Riana! I am very flattered.
Great work there Dan and nice to see you back after so long.
Thanks Slugstoppa! So nice to hear from you! You have been watching these for many years! Yes, this one was very time consuming. It just took a while to get done. Hope all is well.
I can't get enough of watching
So glad you like these! I know it's been a while since I've been able to put a video out. But I'm currently making one and will have a video soon. Take care
My library has paper and cloth mache stuff and it’s so COOL
Someone at your library may have been using my books. That's great!
Great job! Don’t worry about rushing or anything, what other people says. Quality over quantity.
I totally agree! Some projects just take longer than others! Thank you!
Finally a new video great work bro
Thank you. This was a very labor intensive dragon to make. That's why it took so long.
Amazing work as always! Love to see you make a predator head ( as in the movie ‘predator’ )
Thank you Grant! I never made Predator because my friend (Todd Masters) made the first one (for the original movie) and I certainly couildn't compete!
Outdone yourself, again, Dan !!
Thanks Maggie! Hope you are working hard!
YESSSSSSS! Lovely, I was wondering when you'd do Alduin!Thanks for the awesome video!
Thank you Taijitu! Glad you like it!
What a super cool dragon. I love that how you had shown off your cats. 😆
Thank you very much Shelli! Just now seeing your comment.
Amazing!
I like this kind of paper mache
I would like to try make one :0
Thanks! Give it a go.
Your videos have inspired me so much
Thank you Noshua! Glad you like this one!
Excellent creation, thank you for this. Good job
Thank you Eduardo! That is very nice of you to say.
Awesome as always 0 w 0
Thank you as always Ariadna!
omg! i love that you did Alduin! thats amazing! =3 great work as always!
Thank you Kaylin! Yes, I had many many requests for Alduin. Had to give it a try.
The eye reveal is the best part
Yes, you can tell that it is my favorite part too. No matter how many times I do it, I find it a thrill. Thanks for the nice comment!
Wow. This one looks really impressive as well. I've missed so many of your uploads!
Thanks Petr! I haven't put out that many, a couple a year I think.
Ya extrañaba tu trabajo.
Gracias. ¡Estoy feliz de que te guste el trabajo!
This dragon reminds of Burning Godzilla, because of how he glows orange kinda like how Godzilla’s burning from the inside out. Very cool dragon!
Thank you! Glad you like this one!
Incredible piece, i'm amazed with your work. Keep going!
Thank you. That is very nice of you to say!
just got one of your books on my way thanks for sharing your talent.
Great! Hope you have some fun! I'm happy to answer any questions. I think you'll like this medium.
Astounding work!
You are the most patient person! How do you manage to create such amazing works? 😀😀😀😮😮😮👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You are very kind. Thank you for the nice comment! I can be patient because I enjoy the process. Take care
Love seeing new dragons from you, it's always an amazing journey =D
You are very kind. Thank you so much!
Dude that’s amazing! I’ve seen a lot of your work at school when we were doing paper mache and you were my favourite artist out of the people that the teacher showed us. My teacher was really surprised when I told her I got a reply from you on one of you other videos haha. And a creation from Skyrim! Always thought it would be cool lol. Great work as always dude.
Tanner
Ps this is my new favourite dragon you’ve made.
Thanks for the nice comment! I'm glad you like this piece. Hope your teacher let you make something out of paper mache. Take care.
Incredible work, beautiful!❤️
Thank you Cecilia!
Another awesome dragon I am going to have to get brave and try to make one by the end of this summer problem is choosing which one to try and make.
The thing is you don't have to choose. You follow the method and watch it evolve. That way there is not the disappointment that can come with a preconceived idea and what you get is something unique. Give it a try. You will love it.
I truly love your art there so beautiful and great
That is very nice of you to say! Thank you so much!
is good to see your work again! thank you for share!
Thank you Alexsandro. This project took a very long time to make.
A dragon? No no, the cat is the important thing here.
Totally. I'll let her know that you appreciate her! But she will just want a treat.
This is so gorgeous and inspiring! (And I also love the cat footage so much, haha. :-) )
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this. Yes, little Maisie was constantly underfoot.
you are seriously inspiring me man, going to try and start working on my own dragon soon
i love your work! it's amazing!!!
Thank you Rita! I really appreciate the comment!
That's so awesome!
Great job!
Thank you so much! I 'm very flattered.
I love your work, please upload more videos. I have the book "Paper Mache Dragons" but i don know if i have the talent to do this. More videos please!!!
Thank you! I upload them as fast as I can make them. These take time, especially this project. Give it a try! You can do it!
Hey, nice dragon like always ^^. Last month i had my final Art-project at school and i used you as a reference for my work. Thank you for inspiring me to use papermache, i had a lot of fun to do this work. Im sorry for my bad english ^^
Greetings from Germany
