Paper Mache Green Sea Dragon

[@RM-vw3ov]

The detail you put into these are incredible! Brilliant artwork!

[@shawnsmith1865]

Ray, Great work my man! You have mastered Dan Needers technique quite impressively. I truly liked your method for making the neck ridges. I've been binge watching the videos and can't wait to try my hand at it. You're doing some tremendous work. Keep it up!

[@MK-qo1rz]

Amazing ! Should do a how to guide because I want to make one! Tinfoil masking tape and paper clay?

[@shawnsmith1865]

Okay, well my previous comment was made about the 3 minute mark of the video. Now, gotta say, this is my absolute favorite one you make. I'm colorblind but the way you layered your paint makes it vivid even for my eyes. Speechlessly impressed.

[@RaysDragonLair]

Thank you 😁

Ti ho scoperto da poco. appena ho un tuo video non ho esitato ad iscrivermi. Mi piacciono molto queste cose e per me i tuoi video sono soddisfazione pura :)

[@RaysDragonLair]

Thank you

[@revzillo]

Absolutely stunning , I was impresses when the dragons head was painted black. Maybe you could do a black demonic dragons head

[@RaysDragonLair]

Thank you. I do like the way they look when I prime them in black. I may have to do that.

For those who don't usually click on the show more tab you're missing out on a really great poem.

[@chrisb.6706]

These sculptures are absolutely amazing! Any interest in doing some sort of gremlin creatures?

[@RaysDragonLair]

I have thought about it. Maybe someday.

[@EmilyJuneG]

You and Dan both do amazing work!!! I love that you both have your own unique style. Where do you purchase your eyes??? I made a really cool paper mache monster back in high school after reading Dans book. Now I want to try making a dragon.

[@RaysDragonLair]

Emily, Thank you, Dan's work is the bar I try to attain with all my creations. I get my eyes from etsy, I bought from this seller several times: www.etsy.com/shop/artistJP. My wife is now messing with resin stuff and making eyes so from here on out I will be using hers. You should definitely start making dragons, once I started I was hooked. I would love to see what you create. I do post pictures on instagram and facebook also. Let me know where you will be posting pictures, i will definitely follow you.

[@eoalfonsin]

I would like step by step please

[@gsgidney]

Love it!

[@susansutton2012]

Wonderful work, I love the colours. How do you attach the head to the wooden plaque, I always thought the paper would not be strong enough to take weight?

[@RaysDragonLair]

Thank you. I drill holes th rough the plaque and run wire through it to attach the head to the wood. It won't just stay on with gluing.

[@antoinevuendia1090]

Hola amigo estas súper tus dragones tengo una duda el papel blanco k le pones k tipo es o k material usas

[@RaysDragonLair]

El papel blanco no es en realidad papel, es una sábana cortada con pegamento elmers. Lo siento, me tomó tanto tiempo responder, olvidé hacerlo antes.

[@antoinevuendia1090]

@@RaysDragonLair No se preocupe,dice k es Sabana? Sabana de la k se usa en la cama para taparte o es otro tipo de Sabana soy de México,soy un seguidor admirador de su arte k veo y veo sus vídeos pero no e tenido el valor de hacer uno ya k no se si tenga ese don como usted o el ingenio para crear maravillas un saludo y un fuerte abraso bendiciones.

[@RaysDragonLair]

@@antoinevuendia1090 Sí, es un cubrecama. Es una cubierta de cama vieja que está desgastada y delgada.

[@adrianogambarra4417]

tudo bom meu amigo. muito bonito teu trabalho..queria saber oque e isso branco que tu faz as escamas e arremates..e uma pasta de papel???obrigado!!!

[@RaysDragonLair]

Here is how I do the scales on the face: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHObm4mYqMiDl7M The black scales on the neck is a cut up old bed sheet. I take the small squares and dip them in glue and fold them. The glue looks black because I mixed black paint in with it. Does this answer your questions?

[@dxjxxx21]

the material you use that look like white bandages, can you tell me what it is?

[@RaysDragonLair]

It is an old bed sheet that I tore up and dipped in Elmer's glue.

[@mika2250]

0:41 - i'm pretty sure that shit is scarier than the actual version.

[@saleems4594]

What is the material used for paper Is it wood glue or what? How many days do you leave until dry?

[@RaysDragonLair]

The glue I use is elmers glue all. It takes about a day to fully dry depending on how much glue is used.

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

Wow had to sub and give this a like. Is it my imagination or at 49 seconds did that eye change from yellow to green? I like the music with the sped up building it's very surreal watching you.

[@RaysDragonLair]

Chris P. Bacon thank you. yeah, I changed the eyes on this one. My wife liked these better.

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

Ok I thought you did didn't think the light could of made them look that different. Your wife has a good eye for well eyes. :)

[@katiec.wingsnthingsstudio3203]

Was it just a thin cotton sheet?

[@RaysDragonLair]

Yeah, it is an old bed sheet.

[@bagussentrong2162]

what is a white cloth like?

[@RaysDragonLair]

the white cloth is a cut up bed sheet.

[@kevinlane2398]

How long does it take you to make one?

[@RaysDragonLair]

It takes me about 30 hours to put one together. I have started doing 3 at a time because drying time can take a while; so when one is drying I can work on another.

[@cookiecake1972]

Where did you get the eyes ?

[@beverlymarsh3002]

She made it with clear rock and use chalk for the eyes

[@PoGosPlayground]

If you make a tutorial video you would get more views and subscribers. Great work btw!

[@RaysDragonLair]

PoGo's Playground Thank you. I will start doing that. Is there any part of this build process you would like to see first?

[@beverlymarsh3002]

Have u make feathered wyvner?

[@cl3rk228]

How

[@FlintAndMarsik956]

А что это за белая "ткань"?

[@RaysDragonLair]

It is fabric dipped in elmers glue. I cut up an old bed sheet do do this.

[@FlintAndMarsik956]
