    Come back to this when the Dragon is finished and mounted together in it's final spot. It does look amazing and I want to see the whole thing together.

      It's been completed but unfortunately the original buyer has sort of changed their mind. They paid of course, but Drogon has been put into storage instead of displayed as it should be. It's a shame. Hopefully it will get a permanent home soon

      ​@@RainAngel111 How is it "As it should be" , that's subjective and up to the buyer. It doesn't come with a contractor with instructions on what you can do with it 😂

      @EL-em3mn Год назад +16

      I know you got paid and it shouldn't matter what the buyer does with it but damn that sucks. The hundreds and hundreds of hours spent on drogon and the result is being thrown in a proverbial cardboard box and forgotten about. I would be furious such as you are about my greatest life's work going being discarded like that.

    Your dragon, mounted atop a Gothic stone structure such as a European castle or cathedral, would be an unparalleled sight; especially emitting flame at dusk. Stellar work.

    • @hellomate639
      @hellomate639 Год назад +3

      I love it....
      I think there's this look to old world stuff that this dragon is starting to have - I think it still has some hints of modern feel in it, but it's actually got a bit of that old world hand-made, mentally envisioned look.
      I think it actually DOES belong on top of such a building and that we should be building such things today.
      The world should be full of magic even if you don't believe in magic. Part of our depression as a society is that we reject our human tendency to see spirits in everything, so everything is sort of empty and sucks our spirits out. Pagan religions tended to worship in nature and worship deities of nature, as if those deities and spirits embodied themselves in the forces of nature.
      This gave a magical sense of reality, a spiritual sense that kept us alive and heightened. You can imagine how much different Christianity would seem like in such a world, how much more vibrant it would be, for instance.
      That's why we're depressed. That has been relegated to a literary genre "fantasy."

      I would go not that far because marble and michael angelo shows no seam.
      The artwork will flow with no idea Where it started, Picked up, Staged And finished.
      To say michael angelo is to say the best ever in history Of man.
      He has made a dragon that i've never seen before. He made the never ending dragon he made its bully.
      I imagine this thing just sitting at the end of my driveway on top of my garage pitching down on a forty five... And just melts all the snow all over the place and it just flows right down the pitch and grade of the slope. FIRE!! sprahhhhhhhhaaaaaa. < fire sound from his mouth. lol.
