Dragon sculpture

I started on this two years ago, and it's FINALLY DONE!

Materials: FIMO polymer clay & acrylic paint. Coated with varnish. Steel wire inside wings, body and tail.
Tools: Hands, paintbrush handle, toothpicks, sandpaper.

Every single little scale on its body was made by rolling a tiny ball of clay and pressing it against the sculpture. Every. Single. One.
