Oh my God, I do not understand how You can do such sculptures with such small details. I personally think, that people who are doing with Sculpture, they are very patient and talented... Fantastic work. I wish I had such one cute dragon, which could sit on my table and remind You .

This is the one thing I can still do. Even if I don't comment, you'll see me feature you on every journal update, always!

Well that is awesome of you, but please don't ever feel forced to feature me!

MarinaNeira In reply to kaikaku [2010-12-08 17:40:08 +0000 UTC]

I'd never feel forced. I like featuring my friends and favorite artists on dA, and you were my first dA friend. I'm not 100% sure if you were the first person on my friend list but you were the first one to feel like a "real" friend to me here. I love looking at my little sculpture of Laser in its glass box above my computer.

To be fair, I wrote my earlier comment some time ago, so now I must admit that my method of featuring changed and I no longer feature the same person with every update (back then I would feature several people at a time, so this was possible.) These days, I choose a different deviant once in a while, and post several of their deviations to give a single artist more of a spotlight. For now I'm featuring my new friend ~Psithyrus but you're overdue for a new feature of your own!

RandomSpyder [2010-05-04 17:06:48 +0000 UTC]

He has such a sweet, wistful look on his face, definitely the sort of cutie that no one could resist hugging!
The beautiful little painted details on his tail, legs, etc are fantastic.

kaikaku In reply to RandomSpyder [2010-05-05 00:35:29 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, this is one of those cases where I think I got... really lucky with the expression. I keep loving doing the little ripple dot patterns. Gotta work my way up to something more complex, but for now... I am very happy with him.

He's also symmetrical enough that if I ever start casting them I'd probably want to cast him. A lot of my figures end up having mild lumps and things that make them feel less... perfect to me.

RandomSpyder In reply to kaikaku [2010-05-13 02:47:02 +0000 UTC]

With an artist like you, luck doesn't exist- it's skill!
I would imagine that it would be incredibly difficult to work the lumps out, so I'm happy that it turned out lumpless here. Is it possible to sand them off after the fact?

kaikaku In reply to RandomSpyder [2010-05-18 22:44:36 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes~! You can sand them after the fact but you may lose some of the smaller details doing that. And some things can't be corrected through sanding... just improved!

Wow, he looks good. Did you make him recently? The details are better than before! Your other dragons are still cute though.

kaikaku In reply to Amano-Hoshi [2010-05-03 17:25:48 +0000 UTC]

He was made relatively recently, but... it was still actually quite some time ago. I think part of why he came out so nice is that I started with a brand new miniature paint brush on him.
