Paper Mache Dragon Trophy-Son of Maleficent

Okay, so KZbin is now putting ads on my videos without my permission. Please, skip it if you can, close your eyes if you can't, and NEVER purchase a product advertised on this video!
This follows a commission I made of Maleficent from Disney's classic "Sleeping Beauty." Visit me at www.GourmetPaperMache.com or www.PaperMacheBlog.com for more information about paper mache!

As usual, absolutely love the vid's and usually watch them about 3-4 times, stopping here and there. (Took several stops to actually see the glue gun used on the teeth!) And boy does that tinfoil give a great look, especially highlighted! Really love the look of the circles!!

[@tylermelanson6116]

Can I just say that I've been watching your videos for about a month now and I have to say how much I love the stuff you do! I especially love any of your pieces that have to do with dragons. I told my friends about you and they love it too. Thanks again and keep up the amazing work!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you for the very nice note Tyler! I'm very flattered. Take care Dan

[@mrcleannh3]

You are so amazing!!!! I used to sculpt and over the years I stopped because of having to work and then the days just weren't long enough to do art work after I came home. I am not working now, seeing you work has inspired me thank you.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

I am sorry but if you ask questions please make sure that your settings are such that I can reply. Thank you.

[@daddyleon]

GourmetPaperMache Superb video!!!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

daddyleon Thank you Daddyleon! It is much appreciated! Dan

[@MillPondFrightNight]

That is awesome! I love the addition of the lights.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Muchas gracias por sus amables palabras. La materia blanca está paño humedecido con pegamento blanco. Dan

[@Sea_Serpent_]

I've been binge-watching your videos for a few days now. This is by far one of the coolest one I've seen! I can imagine this one in a medieval-looking dark room with it being the only source of light! That would be so cool and creepy.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

I'm very flattered Gabriella! I'm very happy that you like my work! Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@skyc2086]

I love watching you work as much as I love the final pieces (and I like those an awful lot!). Really enjoying the videos :)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

You are really kind. Thank you for this very nice comment! I am in fact working on another video. It was beginning to feel very predictable and a bit old. So reading this has given me a nice boost. It is very much appreciated! Dan

[@ClonesDream]

These look like Games Workshop figurines. The amount of detail on these is amazing! Good job!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you. Much appreciated. Dan

[@wolfsangeleyes]

Excellent work, this is just amazing.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Pearl. You are always very kind. Dan

[@rexforestwanderers]

You make such amazing sculptures!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Forest Wanderers You are very kind! Dan

[@claudiadeocera6837]

I live your work! So incredibly inspiring!! Haha keep up the great work!

[@alteredexistence4115]

coolest thing i've ever seen...the "cloth machete" technique seems to give a very fleshy realistic look to it...truly amazing and inspiring. Love the LED idea 2...awesome

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Mike! I really appreciate the comment. Yes, cloth mache (something I developed years ago) works perfectly for this sort of project. Take care Dan

[@lilbatwolf]

I think it's officially time I start saving all those weekly newspapers! Subscribed because of your amazing work and you are inspiring me to do this, it looks so fun!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

***** Thank you Wolfgirl! I'm happy that you are inspired! Good luck and have fun! Dan

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Hey Suz, That's funny. I wonder what else you see when you pause. I'm not very good about clearing up backgrounds. My workshop is pretty cluttered. I'm glad you like some of the new details, like the circles. I'm happy with them. They break up large spaces well. Thank you as always for watching and taking the time to comment. Dan

[@curtpurvis5513]

Wow very nice Dan! I have been doing Huichol Indian beaded style skulls with modern designs. Getting a little burnt out on these. I think I am going to give this a try. Thanks for the time lapse and the details. Very impressive. Love your work!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Curt. I enjoyed seeing your bead work. This is a fun medium. I think you would like it. Dan

[@Gourmetpapermache]

¡Excelente, maravilloso trabajo!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Hello there. Thank you for the nice comment. I use old bed sheets torn into strips for the final "skin". I dip it in white glue. Dan

[@Yupmoose]

Thank you for the inspiration. I am going to make Alduin's head to put on the wall for my husband as he loves Skyrim. Right now im building a small modest eagle. Thanks again, I am really blown away by your work and I love how you break the mold as to regular ol' paper mache into a multi-media art form!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

You are very welcome Denise. Thank you very much for the kind words. I'm very flattered indeed. Good luck on your project. I love Skyrim dragons! Dan

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Han Pham Thank you!

[@GollumsLilHelper]

I would love to see a more detailed video on installing the LED lights. These are just incredible, I do paper Mache, but nothing even approaching this. AMAZING!

[@need2die4u]

Dan you are the best !!!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Hello Victor, Thank you! You are the best for saying such nice things. I very much appreciate it. Dan

[@Gourmetpapermache]

No, sólo tiene que utilizar Google translate. Yo uso las sábanas viejas cortadas en tiras y se sumerge en el pegamento blanco para las alas. Buena suerte en su proyecto. Dan

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you! I added the lights because when I made the first Maleficent commission it was based on the Sleeping Beauty cartoon. The dragon had green light blazing from the eyes and mouth and nose. So that's why I put green l.e.d. lights in that trophy. I wanted to be consistent with this one, but the red lights make it more aggressive I think. Thanks for noticing! (If you are curious about the first sculpture I mentioned, you can see it on my blog. Just follow the link under the video.) Dan

[@shea-theriseofdaun2114]

Thank you so much for the tutorial, using it I was able to create one similar for my son for Christmas! I wish I had more time to create work such as this, yours are awesome.

[@riadenchong770]

Wow that's super cool I barely started paper maching myself ...I could just barely get a round ball ....seeing your dragon encourages me to push harder to learn more I wish to learn as much as I can from someone as yourself ....I not afraid to fail..just ..lack the conference to try something that elaborate thank you for the ideas and the videos.. I'm one definitely following

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Hello Riaden. It's all about practice. It doesn't take that much time to develop skill with these techniques. Just keep at it. You are already on your way. Good luck! Dan

[@alfoz123]

great work.......

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you very much! Dan

[@louisbothma3165]

Magnificent work ! Thank you x 10

[@Gourmetpapermache]

You are welcome. Thank you Louis! Dan

[@patricksherman9717]

I am always amazed at how easy you make this look. I know the 3:20 video is a small fraction of the real work time in it...I counted 15 different colored shirts while you built this trophy. You are awesome!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Sara! Glad you like this video!

[@jasonaalbert73]

Just WOW man!! Really cool stuff. I have always been into art and music. Actually got to tour the country for 3 years in a country band. I have since taken a desk job for the government but I have always been interested in special effects, monster making, makeup, etc... I made some really atrocious monster masks and things out of paper mache a long time ago for our home movies. HAHA. This is an unbelievable talent you got. I really enjoy seeing your work man.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Jason. I really appreciate you taking the time to write. Good luck with your artistic endeavors. It sounds like you are a very creative person. Dan

[@cgarcia6039]

[@MillPondFrightNight]

I've seen it, also awesome. I follow you religiously :)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

It's funny but I never check out my backgrounds like normal people would do. Half the time my TV is going in the background or I get a great shot of the kitty litter.

[@TAC1ONE]

Awesome! I will

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Muchas gracias Vampy por sus amables palabras. Ellos son muy apreciados. Buena suerte en sus proyectos. Dan

[@andrexdoopala84]

Master hello, I'm from Brazil and I like visual arts in general, I have several works (painting frames) in oil on canvas I am writing to say that motivated by their videos, I decided to create my own dragon and I was happy with the result. I wish u continue to make new videos to encourage their subjects. parabens for its art and continues to teach us.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

***** Hello Andre. Thank you for the nice note! I am glad that my videos were of help. If you have any interest in posting photos of your dragon I would be happy to put them on my website. You could send them to [e-mail]. Either way, thanks for the note. Good luck with your work! Dan

[@jacksonblack9408]

You sir are a GOD! Brag a little. You've earned it.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Hello Rose. You are the sweet one. Thank you for this nice comment! I love Mexican Catrinas. I guess that's why I probably won't make one. I have friends who make fantastic catrinas. I think I'll leave those to the experts. Take care Dan

[@DwayneRydell]

You are who I wish I could be.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

The only difference (other than the fact that you are young and I am old) is that I have practiced. You just need to make something. The first project is always about learning the techniques. The second project will be your masterpiece. Trust me. Start today. What have you got to lose? And thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it. Dan

[@jessicamckinnon1721]

You inspired my 11 year old son. He is now making a huge mess in the kitchen. Lol! Beautiful work!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Jessica McKinnon That's great! Thanks for sharing Jessica! And what a nice mother to sacrifice a perfect kitchen to the gods of creativity! You are a saint! If your son ever wants to show off his work, I'd be happy to post photos on my site. Just let me know. Tell him I wish him success on his project! Dan
