Just wanted to say, I love how your dragons are colossal! And not just in minecraft blocks.... you always put them in custom landscapes and add custom-made trees, and you always have the dragons just loom over... everything. Most of your dragons have toenails larger than the trees, and their hindpaws tower over nearby mountains. I dunno, Something about seeing a row of very tall trees and then seeing a massive dragon behind them, with even its feet barely obscured by them, gets me really really excited!! :D
But that's not all... I especially love the destructive dragons. I mean, of course such a huge dragon would be ripping up the environment around them, on purpose or not. So... ones like "Verdigris Dragon", "When Size Matters", "Ender Dragon 2.0" and "Terracotta Dragon", where the dragons have big mounds of dirt at their feet and are kicking up huge clouds of dust. You can just imagine, the dragon is minding its own buisness and uncaringly stamping huge footprints in the terrain and trampling hundreds of poor trees >:3. Even the ones where you can't see they're destroying anything, I can imagine all the ground and trees squished beneath their plump bodies... their gigantic legs almost look like they're built for crushing things, haha.
But on this front I think the best one is "Snake Dragon". You can tell the dragon had to pass by, but in order to do it he had to smear this huge section of the forest into the ground, leaving a giant hole in the tree line. He's still even tearing up the topsoil as he moves into the plains! Looking in the furrow I can see a bunch of flattened trees, and on the edges of the path (and under his belly) there are some conifers that were bent out of the way but not completely crushed. There's so much detail and commitment to the environmental damage, and I just love it a lot!
I think I'm done gushing about all these details you put in lol. But almost all of your dragon sculpts have these kinds of details that show off the dragons' immense size and weight! I can't help but imagine you like including these details too, but maybe I'm just paying attention to the wrong places.... so I wanna ask, do you like including them? Anyhow, I love all the dragons you've brought here, and happy new year!!!!!
You can chat in derect messages if you want. User3358263G I also wanted to add she to the banner to hold something in hand, but there was not enough space. I try to do different poses and actions. And all dragons are made so that with each you can make some kind of scene or combine several in one, as in the banner. What about legs, then yes, I pay special attention to them. Heh. is it too noticeable? )
Yay, my overenthusiasm got me something! XD I guess not a lot of people talk about this side of your sculpts, but for me it's one of the things that make them so amazing to look at!
Looking at some of your dragons again, there are some details I'm still noticing in some of them. Like in "Verdigris Dragon", I only now noticed the ridges outlining the dragon's footprints behind it, and in Trip to the Dragon's Lair the dragon is smugly toppling some trees with his arm and paws, while shredding the dirt with his claws. Every detail I notice just makes the scene better (and, importantly, makes the dragons look bigger and more powerful 8D )!
I also had a closer look at your banner, where I see you gave some of your dragons a size boost :). And while they're busy terrorizing a group of not-so-huge dragons, they're lounging unawares on top of some forests and even a town! Who knows how many buildings and people they already crushed into the ground... the red dragon's even fiddling with a mansion between his toes. The buildings next to his foot probably aren't gonna be there much longer! >:D Then there's the Terracotta Dragon in the back, who looks like he has some plans for that mountain range. :P They all look so mischievious, a perfect emotion for dragons as gargantuan and dominant as them, and also as pretty as them!
Is there anything in particular that you want to see the dragons do, or loom over, or crush? And is there any part of the dragon that's your favorite, to flatten things with and just to look at? Kinda like I said before, they look like their hind legs (especially the thighs) and their paws are really huge, thick and built for crushing! But anyway, I'm excited to hear the details are deliberate :3. I'm glad I can enjoy your stuff the same way you do, heh!
