Dragon Pendant

I always wanted to sculpt a dragon, which lead me to making this. Made this Dragon pendant inspired from a 2D Dragon anime image.

1. Polymer Clay
2. Exacto Knife
3. Clay rolling pin
4. Smooth surface to roll clay over, preferably Glass.
5. Mini silicone sculpting tools
6. Mini metal ball tools
7. Bake & bond
8. Small paint brush
9. Chalk pastel

1. I kneaded the black polymer clay ( I used Fimo Professional ) to make it soft.
2. drew a dragon 2D image roughly.
3. Started to shape the dragon slowly putting the clay over the drawn image to match the proportion.
4. I baked the piece in oven ( according to the clay package instruction's temperature ) many times in between sculpting so that while I touch other parts to sculpt more, the remaining piece doesn't get mooshed. baking the piece make the pieces hard, so it stays in shape while I sculpt other parts.
5. After baking each time, I use Bake & Bond on the new spots where I start to resculpt, using the Bake & bond as glue.

1. I roll very narrow pieces of clay snakes and used those to sculpt the extensions and spikes where it's needed.
2. used exacto knife to mark and cut clay pieces where it's needed.
3. Sculpted the chest front with a thin sheet and the tracing repeated likes with exacto knife

1. After the shape of the dragon body was done, it wa time to sculp the wing.
2. I Sketched the wing on a wax paper, then rolled a sheet of black clay, put the paper over the clay, traced the winch skeleton lines over the clay and then removed the paper. over the traced lines on the clay, I cut out the wings accordingly. Attached the wings on the back of the dragon body. used Bake & bond aswell on the attaching spots.
3. Baked it.
4. Then I rolled out thin sheets of black clay again. Applied Bake & bond over the wings and attached thin pieces of sheets over the wings. dotted with metal ball tool to create some texture.
5. Baked again.

1. Rolled out a mixture of white and more of translucent clay. attached in between the vacant spaces of the wing skeleton. used bake & bond on the attaching spots aswell. then brushed the edges wih purple chalk pastel.
2. Have put tiny clay on the back and inserted tiny eyepin, to attach the black chains.
3. Did the final Bake, attached black chain on the eyepins and DONE!
