Paper Mache Smaug

Okay, so KZbin is now putting ads on my videos without my permission. Refresh refresh refresh until my video starts!
I've gotten a dillion requests for this. So here it is, my rendition of Hollywoods version of Smaug. If you like, please subscribe. For more info, www.GourmetPape... and www.PaperMacheB...

[@debbieomi]

I don't think I will ever tire of watching your talent and creativity!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+debbieomi Thank you Debbie! Your support is always appreciated!

[@yagmurolmez3253]

GourmetPaperMache Hey! I really like your sculptures, ı wanna make a gift for my friend with your style but ı had some questions about eye. Where did you get (or how did you do) the little transparent domes for eye and what type of paint you use? Thanks!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

I buy my eyes from taxidermy companies. The ones in this video were "blanks", just the glass so you can paint your own. You get them from the same companies. If you google you can find all of these companies. Good luck! Dan

[@Johnny-jy6yt]

GourmetPaperMache i like your dragon head paper mache mounts you should probably try making the blood dragon or alduin from skyrim👍👍👍

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Richard. I will do Alduin at some point. Take care Dan

[@psychoandreas7096]

The persons which gave this Dragon a dislike are blind ;-)

[@deosalutarimeo8538]

Not blind,just jealous !

[@steelbeans]

you ever thought about doing godzilla?

[@artnum5653]

The Manzilla Show being a diehard fan of godzilla, he or she or it making him would very much please me

[@Timmy29384]

Yeah your right

[@jakeivy7231]

you gonna make alduin?

[@BullwinkleFFMn]

hear, hear if ya did Smaug you got to keep the nerd theme going and do Alduin or an Alduin v Paarthurnax duel.

[@jakeivy7231]

Yes

[@rjdaniel8534]

Alduin would be nice

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Yes, I'm giving in. Alduin is next.

[@susieq7874]

i challenge you to make Alduin from skyrim

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Imperious 115 I get that request a lot. I like that dragon. Maybe I will make it at some point. Thanks.

[@scorpio102987]

Oh i would love to see that one! Im working on getting the right head shape for shadowmere for a skyrim party im having in October. I really want an Alduin

[@zeynepyavuz1968]

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Zeyna'nın Boyaları Thank you! Glad you like it!

[@nickbutler9831]

can you make a video where you go into detail about what it is you are doing. im confused

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Nick Butler You can see that kind of commentary on my blog.

[@jamesharris2035]

Can you make a tutorial on how to do the basics of paper mashe please

[@taegra]

So great to see a new video from you! My gosh, your style has improved even if you're using the same technique you have always been since I started watching. That's always super exciting to see

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Taegra Thank you Taegra. Yes it took a while because the project before this I didn't like. So I decided not to finish the video of it. You can see the project on my blog if you are interested.

[@andyisyoda]

That is fantastic!! Well done.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+andyisyoda Thank you!

[@vicentebrarosr.42]

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Glad you like it! Thank for the nice comment!

[@vicentebrarosr.42]

you is fera,thank you

[@bovb1433]

Hi Dan! Amazing work again. I was wondering: how do you 'hide' your cloth strips? When I use cloth mache (dipped in white glue), you can see the patches of cloth very obvious. The surface is not smooth. Do you have a tip for me?

[@jonstractus8450]

Make a Tiranossauro rex

[@chriskruining]

awesome! it's been a while, this made my birthday just a lot better. I've been wondering, those smooth white sheets are they paper or some kind of fabric?

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Chris Kruining Happy Birthday! Glad to help. The skin is old bed sheets.

[@MsCarlos2205]

Olá, Sou brasileiro, não sei os materiais que você usa, poderia me dizer? ( que fita adesiva você usa, o material que reveste a boca, e com o que faz os dentes e chifres) por favor! translation attempt: Hello, I am Brazilian, I do not know the materials you use, you tell me? (That tape you use, the material that coats the mouth, and what makes the teeth and horns) please!

[@scarletsutcliff8939]

tbm fico louca pra saber qual eh o material.. o da boca parece um tecido..i os outros parecem ser uma massa...😩

[@marcelodcs1]

+Carlos Alex A fita adesiva que ele usa, e que é usada para essas esculturas, é aquela fita crepe comum. O material que ele usa pra revestir a escultura e a boca, é o que ele chama de 'cloth mache' (tecido mache) é simplesmente tecido com cola. A cola tem que ser uma a base de PVA, só procurar por 'cola branca PVA' que tu encontra, a cola Cascorez é a mais utilizada pra isso. Os dentes usam o material mais caro, ele faz com massa de polímero, é um 'clay' para escultura profissional que tu que é macio para modelar e pode ser endurecido no forno em vez de esperar endurecer naturalmente. Pros chifres é simplesmente um arame (pode ser um daqueles cabides de roupa de metal) revestido de jornal e fita crepe. Ele usou também uma massa de papel mache comum para fazer aqueles detalhes das escamas da pele (aquela massa cinza). Aquilo é o clássico papel mache feito de jornal, água e farinha de trigo. Só procurar na internet 'receita massa de papel mache jornal". Espero ter ajudado.

[@MsCarlos2205]

+Marcelo Carvalho obrigado cara 👍

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Carlos Alex I use "masking tape" to sculpt. The "skin" on the outside, and inside the mouth, is cloth (bed sheets) dipped in white all-purpose glue. Teeth and horns are made from Fimo, a polymer clay.

[@MsCarlos2205]

Thank you very much! :)

[@michellesachse1760]

I totally love your work! Im amazed by the details, and I wished I could be as creative. And I love that your cats are keeping you company while you work.. priceless. 😊😍

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you for the very nice remarks Michelle! I really appreciate you taking the time to write. And thanks for noticing my little "helpers". They mean a lot to me. Dan

[@Acera-xv3bp]

What are the scales made of? and where can you get these teeth or how can you make them yourself? btw great video!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Julia! I used "paper clay" for the scales. It is dough-like that I make out of commercial Celluclay and white glue. I make the teeth out of polymer clay like Fimo or Sculpey.

[@Acera-xv3bp]

GourmetPaperMache tysm 😀

[@magicbuskey]

Will there be a tutorial video (please!)? You are inspirational and awesome!

[@pandementia4099]

Absolutely beautiful work, the realism you get with such humble materials is astounding.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

You are very kind to say that. It is much appreciated. Thank you! Dan

[@marshmeowlow]

ah man, i remember watching this when i first got super in to papermache stuff, i have to thank you for that! I don't make things as epic as that myself yet, but you indeed inspired me to try and do something like it for sure!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

You are very kind Marsh! Glad you had some fun with the medium! Maybe you'll get back to it.

[@MyDeathBunny]

You should do one of death wing from world war of craft

[@СофронСтепанов-и6б]

The annoying part for me is the painting. I like to model but i hate to paint.

[@josiahbeverly5260]

[@Gourmetpapermache]

[@freshoceanwaters7947]

[@bigrhonda8818]

That's INSANE!!! The very white material...is that cotton fabric? (inside mouth)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

That is old bed sheets dipped in white glue.

[@BlackBloodPoem]

Great! Just great! Not only this guy, but all your dragons and you yourself!^^ I dream I could make something like this. But I know I won't... (saying without dramatism=))

[@Gourmetpapermache]

I'm very flattered by your comment. Thank you very much! Of course you could make something like this. Many people have just watched my videos and done so. You would love it. Just saying. Take care Dan

[@lockedonbiome]

This is amazing! How long did this take to make?

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Boss. It took a couple of months to make.

[@paintedparadox4664]

Gosh your work is incredible! I never payed much attention to paper mache until I discovered your channel. What age did you begin creating them?

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you for the nice comment! I began using paper mache with my students in 1972. I was teaching elementary school at the time and I wanted a project to do with them that was fun, goof proof, and that took significant effort. So we made paper mache monsters.

[@thornheartred]

Have you thought about creating dinosaur sculptures? I'm sure the techniques you use for dragons would work well with dinosaurs.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+thornheartred I've done lots of dinosaurs ( a while back). I like dragons better though.

[@quanganhnguyen6092]

W..WOW Im am speechless. You know if I got a picture of Smaug and compared it to this. There would be no difference. For ver well done made replica

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Quang Anh Nguyen Hey Quang. Glad you enjoy this one. I believe I captured it pretty well considering the movie Smaug is digital. Much harder to make the real thing. That was the challenge of the piece of course. Thanks as always.

[@nickpaul6959]

your so much fun to watchf I love your eye technique where you paint the inside of the cap then paint the outside and scrape it off..your a real cool wizard co-co-ga-rabba-jabba :)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you very much Nick! That is very nice of you to say!

[@nightraven5760]

This is awesome! Did one for my English creative writing project but smaller and out of only book pages, hoping for an A or A*

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you. You can't lose with Smaug I think. Take care Dan

[@akayasarbaro8068]

Make Foxy the Pirat as a challange from Five Nights at freddys. that would be interesting :)

Actually, the snout is exactly the right length. But thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!

[@doomdog7017]

This guy has way too much time on his hands

[@jomrchalcott7451]

Hi do you know if your videos will be effected by the new COPPA regulations that start in January.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Hey there. Sorry, just now seeing this question. I just said that none of these were made for kids. Much less hassle that way. To do otherwise would have eliminated the comment section completely! Hope all is well with you.

[@jmvicente820]

Can you do the ELDER DRAGON from League of Legends??

[@Gourmetpapermache]

There are so many dragons, so little time. Thank you for the suggestion.

[@ryankylecross]

[@Gourmetpapermache]

[@pipoy1993]

Mr. GourmetPM, what material/s are you using for the teeth, the horns and the spikes? Is that made out of paper too? Thank you for your time. :)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

[@XSmallyX500]

How much would you sell a Smaug like this for without the wooden plaque at the back? Many thanks

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Sorry, but this was a commission. I promise my clients that I won't make any duplicates. They deserve to have unique items. Thanks though for your interest. Dan

[@FreyasArts]

This looks so awesome :3 Your are really talented. I was jsut whondering what his teeth are made out of. They are'n paper mache, are they?

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Comma Chris Thanks Chris. The teeth are made of Fimo.

[@TiaraShayeUkulele]

I was wondering what do you use for the eyes? Can you tell me where i could buy a clear eye shape glasses and what are they called? Thank you Your work is unbelievable!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

I buy my eyes from taxidermy companies. They also sell "blanks", just the glass that you can paint yourself. If you google "glass eye blanks" you can find several companies that sell them.

[@basberendsen4936]

plzz make a t rex or an indominus

[@ucirjigsaw1694]

The kind of the ink in use to coloring what?.. pliss reply... i am Indonesia 🙏

[@Gourmetpapermache]

I assume you mean paint. I just use water based, all purpose paint. Any paint will work fine.

[@monicahernandez5227]

your work is totally stunning! I'm curious, what did you use to make the mouth/tongue look wet? very realistic!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Monica. I use clear casting resin for the mouth. It is liquid plastic basically.

[@keiroty7187]

Wow do spyro the dragon from the SPYRO franchise

[@katiekim2529]

if u can, can u do igneel or acnologia from fairytail. I know they aren't realistic because its in an anime, but can u pls try? I would love to see that.thanks for the consideration

[@Gourmetpapermache]

I get many requests. I have a fairly long list of projects I must finish. But I thank you for the suggestion.

[@vuoganh]

tôi muốn mua tác phẩm của bạn, thì làm như thế nào

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Tôi bán một số nghệ thuật trên trang web của tôi, gourmetpapermache.com/art-for-sale/. Nhưng tôi có thể nói với bạn rằng vận chuyển đến Việt Nam sẽ cực kỳ tốn kém, $ 1000- $ 2000 USD chỉ để vận chuyển. Điều đó sẽ tăng gấp đôi giá. Xin lỗi vì điều đó.

[@Doodle_biter]

how do you make it so smooth when putting on the paper mache cloth? in my 3d art class I did something like yours but its a little rinkled and I couldn't keep one horn from being droopy, another thing some other person was doing the same thing but hers is smooth with perfect shaped horns but not painted but mine is already done and it took me 5months since it was in class,but worth it :) you inspired me thank you!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+bite art 87 Thank you. I'm not sure how to answer that. Just experience I guess. Glad you enjoyed the process

[@MrRLD45]

could you possibly make one of the league of legends character vel'koz?

[@sauloferreira1598]
