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.

[@CoolestThing]

That would be great to see it in place. You can check out the latest on Kevin's channel here in the meantime: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4WVc5l5n6lsqbs

[@RainAngel111]

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

[@henryD9363]

​@@RainAngel111 sad to hear that. I hope the dragon lives forever

[@ashash7513]

​@@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]

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.

[@fraa888grindr6]

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]

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."

As a professional artist (painter), all I can say is...'Unbelievable'! He's a Michelangelo of the 20th/21st century- in steel other than marble. Totally wonderful!!!

[@CoolestThing]

Totally agree! Thank you for watching! Cheers- Guy

[@MajesticMichigan]

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.

[@tylerberman7527]

@@MajesticMichigan i wouldnt say theyre comparable yeah, still cool tho

[@bildo99ify]

​@@MajesticMichigan let me help you out here, so next time you need to criticise someone, you won't immediately lose your credibility. The sculptor you are speaking of is known mononymously as Michelangelo. His name was not "Michael Angelo". Hope this helps. 🤙🏽

This man has definitely left his mark on the world. I hope one day he can achieve his dream of the largest, but he definitely is a master of his craft. So much much detail that it is insane. There could and should be an entire documentary of this man and his sculptures. I would love to see more videos of his works installed along with people’s reactions to them.

[@johnnyblade6088]

Kevin, Kevin, KEVIN! Your magnificent, fire breathing dragon is probably the most amazing piece of artwork I’ve ever seen!!! And that includes the toughest competition which is, all of your other fabulous creations!Your visions, unrivaled skills and rare level of dedication all combine to make every piece a true masterpiece! I hope you realize your goal of creating that “world’s largest” metal sculpture and that it, along with ALL of your other gems lasts for time immemorial ❣️🐅

[@kevin982]

Just looking at one of his creations, I would think it would take years to do, but he has so many projects it's mindblowing.

[@krodax3639]

got dragon scenes are some of the most epic moments ever created in film and has been my desktop wallpaper for years now… just sick what this dude made

[@Titan52berg]

This guy's artistry goes way beyond mere descriptions like awesome, magnificent, spectacular, incredible.... it is an entirely unique masterpiece of metal sculpture created by a genius craftsman!!!

[@padawanviolinist]

That’s hell of impressive. And the fact you maintain the shape with stainless show your years of experience with metal

[@virvegeorgeson1711]

An amazingly cool dragon sculpture! Thanks to the Coolest Thing for this excellent video

[@joellaogilvie2744]

Your work is absolutely amazing. As a designer who has done little designs for jewelry and children’s toys I can’t imagine how hard it must be to see each section individually and as a part of the bigger picture. Absolutely phenomenal!

from a guy who works with metals, I know the majority of people seeing this will not realize the amount of time and work went into each claw, to begin with! The amount of weld passes in this is crazy. Pure awesome!

[@daveduffy2292]

Respect my friend as have worked as a stainless steel fabricator for the last 36 years. You need a bigger workshop with an over head crane. Awesome job. Just can’t believe the man hours that have gone into that. Time is money

[@Andy-gw7hd]

It might not be the biggest but it’s the best images of what they are and lots of detail

[@theawesomer]

[@DespaceMan]

Lots of people dream of doing stuff like this but people forget it aren't cheap, he is one lucky man to be able to create art like this. I can't even afford a sheet of stainless steel let alone a whole workshop, some people are lucky & I'm happy to see more of his creative artwork it defiantly put a smile on my face.
