Description I hereby present to you Dakarai the Skuggdrake, a proud beast who took a leap out of my headworld to reveal himself to all of you. 

I am very proud of this one. How he turned out. He took a crazy amount of time but it was well worth it! I do feel Ive taken a step in my sculpting now, impoved and gotten one bit closer toward my goal of becoming a artist able to live of my art. FIGHTO-OH! Hahaha. The only annoying thing is that the pictures doesnt make him justice, but I know for a fact that thats the problem all sculptors face.


MADE IN: 
Dakarai is different than any other sculpture Ive made this far. First of I wanna point out that he is completely handmade by me, every step in the process I have done myself. His head and legs are sculpted and then casted, his body however is directly made from super sculpey, and so are his horns, ears and all the scales and details to his body and legs. His neck and tail are made of soft black faux fur and can be gently posed. He is painted with acrylics and sealed. Every single strand of tiny hair to his coat is sculpted one by one, every single scale is sculpted and placed one by one. All painted with small brushes, no airbrush. 

Height: 20 cm (7,9 inches)
Length:  34 cm (13,8 inches)


!!! ORDER ONE FOR YOURSELF (CUSTOM MADE) !!!    etsy.com/shop/EscaronsImaginar…
Thats right, you can be the proud owner of your own Skuggdrake. As the head and legs are casted in resin I can make more of these guys, and YOU can be a part of it! Chose both color for fur and on sculpture. Decide on the details to his body, legs, and horns.  Wings/fins/etc can be made no problem.  There is a LOT of possibilitys to this, pretty much only your imagination holds the limit! 



SPECIES INFO:
Skuggdrakar (Shadow-dragons) are old and wise beings - part horse, part dragon. Humans gave them the generic name Skuggdrakar (one Skuggdrake, several Skuggdrakar) because of their way of moving fast and graceful as shadows under the sun, as well as being mysterious, and if not careful, dangerous as the very darkness itself. In short they are also refered to as Skuggor (shadows).
Once Skuggdrakar roamed the world in hundreds, all kinds of them, different depending on were they lived, with different elements, colors and looks, strong, wild and free - no human could ever tame them or make them their property, instead they co-excisted side by side. Skuggdrakar lived in herds, they could turn hundreds and hundreds of years old, watching the worlds as it changed, how future became past... 
But things changed, humans begun to fear what they couldnt control and rule over. They started to hunt Skuggor, killing them with firearms and deadly traps. Today these beautiful creatures are almost completely extinct, but some are left out there, just as proud and magical as ever before, hiding in their own parts of the world, the parts where humans obsession with control has not yet spread - still free as the birds in the sky, wild as the roaring seas. 
You can not own a Skuggdrake, not make it your slave, neither with rope nor cages - it choose you. It look into your eyes and weigh your soul - good agains bad. If you are deemed worthy a skuggdrake will be the most loyal companion through your entire life, carry you on its back, defend you agains danger. If deemed unworthy you are instantly killed... but to take that chance is well worht it, I can promise you that.

You are amazing! Your work is so well done, I've literally seen people who sell hand made sculptures in shops that when compared to yours look like a 3rd grade art project. Like I'm not even kidding when I say I think you're the best sculpture artist I've ever seen. Kudos!
Also could I ask, how do you get the fur to stick so perfectly to the body? I found a golden breyer horse in garage sale and was trying to spruce it up to look like a lion horse. But every time I tried to get the fur to stick it would look frumpy and unnatural. Then I'd have to pull it off and start all over again, and repaint it. It was quite frustrating  
I used hodge podge to glue it down, could this be why?

This complimemt made my day, thank you SO much for your wonderful words!!! Like, just wow! Thank you a million times!!!!

Aaah dont use hodge podge. I loath the stuff! I tried it once and it was awful! Never again. Haha. I use a super glue that I buy in a local store. Nothing fancy or special at all really but it works.

Hi.

This is actually not okay. I wish you had contacted me and asked me before you entered the competition because now I have to ask you to kindly take this piece down. You have without my permission taken my art and edited it, you must understand this is not something Im fine with nor is it ok. On top of it this page where you show it sell calendars, cards and canvas wraps with this art, my artworks. Even if its not for profit of any kind (wich it seem like it actually is) you arent allowed to simply take and edit/use others copyrighted art without their permission, and you do not have mine, a small credit doesnt suffice when you edit someones art. Im sorry I do not want to sound rude but  you are infringing on the copyright law right now and if you do not take my art down I will have to report you, and I will take it even further if I have to.  Also if this is a serious competition I dont think they allow art that has been "stolen". Cause since you didnt ask my permission thats what it is right now. I dont say this to be mean, I simply have to tell you how things work when you use others works. You MUST get permission or you steal. ^^ Please remove my art.
Thank you!

Escaron In reply to DarkDeu [2016-01-26 15:56:49 +0000 UTC]

Then its totally okay. Glad you understand, some people dont and thats when it get tricky. A little advice for the future though, if you are gonna enter other competitions or in any other way want to use other peoples works/photos etc, remember to ask them for permission first. It is very important or you could get in serious trouble. Especially if it is about editing others works. It is ok as long as you do it for yourself but as fast as you upload something over the net and you do not have permission that mean you are violating the copyright. I got really rattled there since I had no idea what kinda competition it was, how big and such so it was a rather scary moment. Haha 
Sorry to hear you lost the competition, but thank you for contacting me again and taking my art down. I appreciate it! <3
