Paper Mache Smaug

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@thejoker831]

these sculptures are amazing the amount of detail you put in to them is truly spectacular

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you very much! How long it takes depends upon the level of detail required. So from a number of weeks to months. I don't really keep track. Take care Dan

[@psychoandreas7096]

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

[@deosalutarimeo8538]

Not blind,just jealous !

[@tatianagonzalez4655]

en tan poco tiempo te has vuelto una inspiración para mí nunca había visto un trabajo tan espectacular como este con tantos detalles nunca dejes de subir vídeos !

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Estoy feliz de haber sido inspirado. ¡Buena suerte!

[@antnimusa244]

+GourmetPaperMache maké a new video

[@ixelmeza9583]

Hola buenos días me podría decir los materiales que utilizó porfavor!!

[@jamesharris2035]

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

[@cadre500]

Wow! You never cease to amaze. My favorite part of your videos is when you remove the paint from over their eyes. They really come alive then. Thanks for sharing.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+cadre500 Thank you! Yes, scraping the eyes is my favorite part as well. That's when they come to life. I appreciate your comments.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@Animeangel45]

So glad to see your work again. Its always a joy to watch :)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Animeangel45 You are very kind. Thank you!

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

[@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.

[@vicentebrarosr.42]

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+LSoko 1991 Thank you for your patience!

[@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.

[@NINJUTSUguy]

This one happens to fall into one of my favorites that I have seen you do for some reason, I particularly like this one .

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thanks Brian. Smaug wouldn't have been my first choice, but it was a commission. I do think it turned out well though. I love making trophies. I'm finishing three more. Will have a video showing them soon. Take care Dan

[@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

[@judyyoussef6573]

I've always been such a fan of yours! Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Judy Youssef You are very welcome! You are sweet to say so Judy.

[@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! :)

[@pescando]

You made something so beautiful from such simple materials. Thank you for sharing your hard work and talent with the world.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

What a very nice thing for you to say! Thank you very much!

[@jonstractus8450]

Make a Tiranossauro rex

[@Awalkthroughell18]

I actually just got so excited when I saw you put up a new video!!!

[@Awalkthroughell18]

Aaaaannndddd I think I have a new favourite one.

[@Awalkthroughell18]

My favourite part is always when you scrape the eyes off. Feels like it's peering into my soul

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+MorganFedoriw Thank you Morgan. Yes, I like scraping the eyes too. They come alive when I do that. That's why I save it till the end. Take care Dan

[@rozaninavas-smith6703]

Wow, Dan! Amazing and inspiring! Such realism in the details. Always wonderful to watch your creations come to life. There's lots'o love in every sculpted detail. Regards, Rozani

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Rozani Navas-Smith Hey Rozani. Always nice to hear from you! Glad you like this dragon. I know it's just another trophy, but it's what I like doing these days. Hope all is well with you.

[@rozaninavas-smith6703]

Yay! All is well at my end. Right, just another trophy. Guess it's all relative. I enjoy your trophies because they add to the uniqueness and fun of your pieces. Personally, I never tire of them.

[@garyfay4079]

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you for the nice note Heiica! It is much appreciated. Glad you like this one. Dan

[@Kae.the.Selkie]

The paint job on this one is AMAZING!!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Kaylee Gaertner Thank you Kaylee! Glad you like it.

[@DanielTimberwolf]

The masterful artistry of this description is at the very least cathartic to watch. Regardless of watching this footage it still is problematic to fathom that the simplicity of the employed components can accrue to a creation of such magnitude. I can only vaguely surmise the amount of time and effort that went into this footage, and for that I thank you. Incidentally it is disquieting to see an ethereal creature in the format of a "taxidemized mount", bu then again, there is really no objective harm done in this instance. Bloody hell what I would not give to be the privileged guardian of a masterpiece of such caliber, for yes, this sort of treasure is to be guarded and preserved, not merely owned.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Daniel Timberwolf Thank you for your remarks Daniel. Of course part of the reason I make a trophy is because I can make it large. I couldn't make a full sized dragon with a head this big. PS. I'm making a full dragon for my next commission, but smaller.

[@DanielTimberwolf]

Yes, yes I realize the constraints of size vs composition, I was merely deferring to the similarity to actual taxidermy, which is utterly distasteful; this knowing full well that was not the intention. Cannot wait to see what comes next, it is truly a treat.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Daniel Timberwolf I couldn't agree more about taxidermy. I assure you that no living thing was hurt in the making of this project. Thank you again for your comments!

[@krampee]

YOU ARE ONE HECK OF AN ARTIST!

Thank you very much Frances! You are very kind. Dan
