[@alyssawilliams4677]

I watched this video in my 3D art class and I produced my own dragon trophy. I am very proud and amazed that I could pull it off but I couldn't have done it without your work. Thank you for letting the world see your art, you rock, keep doing what you're doing this is truly inspiring and amazing work!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thanks for the nice note Alyssa! I'm glad you enjoyed making your own trophy. Good luck with future projects! Dan

[@rmartin8887]

Dan, I'm running out of beautiful words to say about your enormous talent. All your dragons are exquisite, but the last two dragons made for kid cancer are so much more breathtaking because of your serious dedication to the cruel word of cancer. Bravo!! So proud of you and your work! I hope someone is able to donate tons of money to this cause and win your dragon. I know I would if I could.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

R MARTIN You are too kind. You are always so supportive! Glad you like these two! I hope it helps the cause. Take care Dan

[@allhailthesquids1022]

Wow, that's very kind of you to donate your hard work to cancer! This was the first dragon I ever seen you make, and its going to help a lot of people! You are amazing

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Lauren Rae You are very kind Lauren. Thank you!

[@DreamEagle22]

Your work never fails to amaze. I am absolutely stunned by your fascinating dragons. I've been into dragons ever since I was young, and I am a 16 year old aspiring artist-dragons being my main thing to paint, draw, and sculp. Your work is highly inspiring to me, thankyou for doing what you do. :)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+DreamEagle22 Thank you so much for the kind words DreamEagle! Good luck with your art! It's always nice to meet other dragon artists. Take care Dan

[@claireg.8751]

I saw that one lucky person might get the chance to meet and create with you in a 4 hour session at your studio. I'm beyond jealous! What an experience it would be to meet you and see your work in person! Keep up the amazing work, Dan.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Jess Hello Jess. You are always very sweet. Thank you for your kind remarks. I hope all is well. Dan

[@jrs9257]

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Jess Glad to hear you are doing well. I think it says a lot about you that you see the positive things about my work. Not everyone sees it the same way. I really do appreciate your comments! We'll stay in touch.

[@JesikaKula]

Ahh I absolutely LOVE watching you make these! They are gorgeous and I can't believe you're able to get such detailed creations with paper mache! Keep up the awesome work :)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Jesika Kula Thank you Jesika! You are very kind to say. Dan

[@zenzaris]

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Su Eld-Weaver Good luck to you! I hope you have fun!

[@shayeriroy2844]

Hi, I'm a huge fan of your work, though it took me a while to found you but now i can't stop browsing your channel. Love your work, and all the very best for you works in the future. And i also have request. Can you make a video on 'Toothless'-'The Night Fury' from 'How To Train Your Dragon'? Thanks a lot!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Shayeri Roy Hello Shayeri. Thanks for the nice note! I'm glad you like my work. I've gotten many requests to do toothless. I'm sorry but I just prefer less cute dragons. But thanks for the suggestion. And thanks for watching! Dan

[@fiercefolder311]

Your paper maches are more impressive than my origami! Way to go!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Your origami is very impressive as well! Good luck with your art!

[@olgagr7136]

Dear Dan, thank you so much for your fantastic works !! Have a Happy New Year !!! Be blessed.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Rita Gr You are very welcome Rita! Thank you for the kind remarks. Happy New Year to you too! Dan

[@schewitt]

I adore watching you! The paintwork in this one is just fantastic, Dan. Curious as to where you get the pieces for your eyes - a local craft store, or can I get them online anywhere?

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Shannen Hewitt Thank you Shannen! I buy my eyes from taxidermists. If you google "glass eyes taxidermy" you can find all the places I use. Good luck! Dan

[@schewitt]

Wow, thanks so much =) I hope the charity raises as much as possible out of this! Still deciding which package to buy for myself.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Shannen Hewitt Thank you for your support! And hope you enjoy doing the art. Dan

[@Dezzerray]

GO!!! BLUE EYES, RED DRAGON!!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

***** I agree! Thanks as always for your support! Dan

[@BClocals]

One again great dragon! Your dragons reminds me so much of Jim hensons work which brings back some wonderful memories. Keep up the great work!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

BClocals That's very nice of you to say. Henson was the master, that's for sure. Dan

[@filipcernelic1597]

This one is one of the best you made, but you should make more of those big dragond with a body, and maybe experiment with shapes, styles and colors of dragons. Like japanese dragons, dragons from moovies and such. And i also have an idea that you might wont be able to make. I am thinking of a huge dragon like 2x1x2 meters. Love your vids ;-)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Filip Cernelic Thanks for the note. I have lots of dragons in the pipeline. I've made many over the years like what you've described. Take care

[@arjayramis7075]

what is that cloth like? and the tooth is that clay??.. and how u make that glue?? thank you in advance btw love that dragon

[@terrishook8376]

The cloth can simply B old bed sheets & pillow cases ripped @ the seams, the glue is paper mache goop made w/ torn paper, flour, or cornstarch & white school glue mixed 2gthr 2 make thin paste, depends on wht kinda project ur makin'.

[@capfogful]

Great! My favourite youtuber is back!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+ANIME XD 03 Thank you. I make the teeth out of Fimo or Sculpy.

[@jamesharris2035]

+GourmetPaperMache thanks 😀

[@quanganhnguyen6092]

hi its been a long time watching u. Really missing it. I notice that your a big fan of dragons and creatures that are unreal. Its also been a long time since u made anything yet. Really want u to upload another vid. I'm just suggesting but maybe u can do a creature called a "leviathan". If u don't know what it is a gigantic sea creature. So big and cool in my opinion. There many types u can choose from just search up search up leviathan. Look at a picture and you might like it. You don't have to do this. But I just love seeing ur videos. I really like to see ur hard work and all that stuff. By the way (again) keep up the good work!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Quang Anh Nguyen Thank you Quang. I been involved in a making a five-headed dragon trophy. It has taken a lot of time. I will make a video when I'm done. (you can see progress on my blog if you are interested, www.PaperMacheBlog.com) It all takes time. Dan

[@antoinevuendia1090]

hola que tal me facina tus esculturas o arte estan super tengo una duda k tipo de papel es el blanco k utilisas aparte tengo duda como es k sostienes el gragon en la base de madera saludo espero ver otra creacion nueva

[@panchromatic242]

Love that dragon! What's the background music?

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Kirk Anderson That's a piece of royalty free music titled "Hard Life." Dan

[@panchromatic242]

GourmetPaperMache Awesome, thanks! However curse my weak google-fu... Do yo know where I could d/l it?

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Kirk Anderson Sorry, I looked a while back because someone else asked. I did a search on all the companies I use and came up empty. It appears that it is no longer available. I've seen that happen a few times.

[@panchromatic242]

Wow ok. Even more epic because so rare. :-) Thanks so much for checking.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Kirk Anderson You are very welcome. Thanks for the nice remarks Kirk. Dan

[@jordanlee8266]

Nice paper mache!! Great details!!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Jordan Lee Thank you Jordan!

[@henryolly7080]

Hello! Nice work as usual! You support a great cause! I have searched on your website but i did not find, what is this black varnish you use at the end of all your video? (I'm french so may be i did not see it).

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Henry Olly Hello Henry. That is just black paint with water added. I put it on and wipe it off before it dries. Good luck! Dan

[@fonsecaadry]

Me encanta,...Espero yo algún día aprender algo así, gracias por mostrar su trabajo.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

***** Bienvenido! Todo es cuestión de práctica, sólo hacer la materia. Buena suerte! Dan

[@Jesus_L93G]

excellent very good work !!! , Go ahead 're a master .

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Felipe Hernandez Thank you Felipe!

[@DarkDil25]

Dan , I love the dragons and your job and i really want to do the same , but it's difficult , can you one day make a tutorial for dragon please ?

[@Gourmetpapermache]

DarkDil25 But I do have a how-to book that shows the making of this dragon. And I show many dragons being made, step-by-step on my blog. I think the information is there. Check those out. Dann

[@DarkDil25]

Ok thank you !

[@annabethfrost9918]

What is the stuff you apply to make the scales ? This is gorgeous

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+annabeth frost Thank you Annabeth. After sculpting with paper mache I add a "skin" of cloth (bed sheets) dipped in white glue. I call the process "cloth mache". The scales are made with that. Dan

[@adrianalanz867]

how do you make that red amazing dragon of yours GourmentPapermache

[@AnimalExplorer]

Absolutely incredible Dan, the detail is amazing! I would like to ask how you color the teeth? I noticed that when you first roll the teeth and horns out of either the Fimo or Sculpty clay it is white, but after you bake them I see that they have an aged colored effect that appears yellowish brown graduated effect, please tell us how you achieve this. Thank You. :)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Paul B (AnimalExplorer) Hi Paul. So you are Animal Explorer. Thanks for the kind remarks. In this case the way the teeth turned out was quite by accident. I used the "translucent" color of Fimo which usually turns somewhat brown. But I forgot they were in the oven and they got way over cooked. I thought they might be ruined but they seemed to be strong enough. I really liked the effect. I've tried to replicate the effect a couple of times without success. But the key is a little hotter and longer than the package suggests. Dan

[@AnimalExplorer]

Thank you for your time and explaining your process. That's funny I almost got the translucent FIMO today. I am working on an animal educational site for children but it is on the backburner for a little bit longer. I do wildlife photography so that is were the name came from. If your interested you can see some of my photos here: www.flickr.com/photos/25174003@N00/ you ever need a photographer let me know. I wouldn't mind photographing your incredible work. I'm somewhat local being down in Kent.

[@zeffman99]

I see a monster fish in the laundry :)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

zeffman99 So funny. You have good eyes Jeff!

[@DragonFang409]

Eres muy amable Rosa. ¡Estoy muy halagado! ¡Gracias de nuevo!

[@angelaa3360]

hi I really love your videos, i would like to to my own dragon so i'd like to ask you what kind of material you use for the wings and the boby, it dosen't seem like normal paper. Thank you ^^

[@skylardevlin3865]

Es hermoso tu trabajo eres un artista

[@Kae.the.Selkie]

Love the end! How long do these generally take from start to finish? And to you dry the paper mache in the oven?

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Kaylee Gaertner Thanks Kaylee. It can take a few weeks. I don't really know since I don't keep track. Never dry in the oven. It is dangerous. And it will only dry on the outside leaving the inside wet. Just find a warm spot with good air circulation and turn them over often exposing the wet areas. Still, it will take a few days to dry. Dan

[@pearl1978wagner]

my ELI would have said blue his favorite color and my Skyler would have said green his favorite color.....

[@DemondsReview]

could you show or tell us how you make the eyes? i love your stuff!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Demonds Review Hello Demonds. I use taxidermy eyes. There are many companies online. For this dragon I used "blanks" that I painted myself. You can get them from those companies. Dan

[@DemondsReview]

Thank you :)

[@atreyuvfx]

you should do a northern pike something new maybe i would love to see that

[@Gourmetpapermache]

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Emilie Villaumé Hello Emilie. I make the teeth out of polymer clay. Brands include Fimo and Sculpy. The "skin" is actually cloth (bed sheets) dipped in white glue. I call the process "cloth mache". Thanks for the note. Dan

[@Gourmetpapermache]

hi just thought you might want to know. your video has like 3 million views on facebook: facebook.com/video.php?v=1089411567752475&fref=nf

[@Gourmetpapermache]

KZbinMan11 Thank you. That channel was using my video illegally. They uploaded it without my permission and without giving me credit. I filed a complaint and Facebook removed it today. This happens a lot. Another Facebook page, Artfido did the same thing. They only added my site to the video after it had been seen over 5 million times. I'm considering filing a complaint there too. It's stealing content. I appreciate you letting me know. Dan
