Artist's Comments

After much ado, I present my first attempt at a dragon. A heck of a lot cutting went into this as it is constructed from 4 separate plates. The body plates were hammered to form a 3D piece......but this did not go so well. There was much re-hammering.......soldering.....grinding...polishing. What a pain.
But all my griping aside, here it is.

Daily DeviationSailing out of *joharasaluki's imagination and onto dA like a viking ship of old, comes Copper Tribal Dragon. A wicked, tribal design offsets the delicate copper framework to create something that is as beautiful as it is fearsome. (Featured by ^oilsoaked)

Would it be easier to make if it were bigger? I hope your next one goes better too. :)

I sincerely appreciate this....especially since it's not even in the same category as the others.
