So way back when, my friend Kurtis (or Kurtass) asked me to make him Ridley. Well, I did it. I made freaking Ridley and it was (and still may be) the most pain-in-the-ass project I've done. I loved how it turned out-- too much. I told him I wanted to keep him for a while so I could show people who came over but eventually he figured out that I wanted to keep it. He decided that he would be much safer at my house in my display case anyway. True story.

So a few months ago, he asked me to make his new favorite game hero: Spyro the Dragon. I didn't want to do it because I knew I'd have to make wings again-- but I started the damn thing anyways. Now he's finished. I'm extremely happy with him but I'm not a Spyro fan so this one is a little easier to let go of. I just hope Kurtass has a safe place for him.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. Keep practicing and you'll get it. It's all about patience-- something that I seem to be in short supply of these days.

Very nice, great job, you got his look down good. I liked Spyro way back when.
The only thing I would critique is the gloss, it gives it a plastic look. If that's what you are going for then ignore the critique.

Thank you. I'm actually not a Spyro fan myself, but my friend is nuts about the Legend of Spyro trilogy.

I am however, a big fan of that glossy look. I like how it makes them look more like plastic toys. I don't really know why. It would be interesting to try out that silk glaze. I do appreciate the critique.

Yeah, I'm definitely thankful for sculpey glaze. It often makes the difference between: "how did you make that?" and "where did you buy that?". haha

Thanks for the fav by the way.

Hey do you use white glue for glazing?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Jester-Race In reply to kritken [2008-12-04 06:55:33 +0000 UTC]

Nope, I use sculpey glaze. There's two kinds of it. I buy the glossy stuff and I'm not sure what the other kind is. It comes in small bottles that cost about $7.00. Worth every penny though. Just look at the difference between my sculptures that are glazed and the ones that aren't. I highly recommend you get some.

I use the blue one. I have no idea what the "satin" glaze would look like. I might have to but some just to try it out. hehehe

MagiteksCraftworks In reply to Jester-Race [2009-01-30 10:24:55 +0000 UTC]

satin glaze is less glossy, but still glossy in it's own right

Thanks I used this pic as my main reference: [link]

Getting his face right was tricky. Usually (as I'm sure you know) things can be sculpted by connecting simple shapes but this is one of those cases where it's more or less just one shape that you need to sculpt.
