The dragonborn's hair is all finished! I just need to style it a bit with some braiding, but I'm so happy with how it turned out. She's nearly finished, will be coming to Scotiacon with me, and will be for sale (as well as the head bases online too!).

It was a very, very long day yesterday. But at least all her hair is on now! Just waiting for my new hairdressing scissors to arrive so I can style this gal up.

It's been about 9 solid hours of mixing and splitting hair, sewing wefts, and hand sewing them onto the head today, and still not finished 🧵🪡☠️

Ah thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it so far!

She is a red/fire dragon after all!

Look at this silly goober. I love her. 🐲

Horns and teeth are in place, so the main mask is basically finished! Although I need to make her hair/mane so that's the next big step (hence the black mesh on her head). So close, I can't wait to get some nice photos taken of this.

Thank you!!

Thank you for all your help!! Really excited to see how the hair goes. Still debating whether to latch hook or to just sew and stitch/glue the wefts.

You are most welcome, always happy to help!:) My DMs don't work, so if you ever need to chat, you can reach me on Telegram or Instagram:)

Yay, well done!

I am in LOVE with how this has changed! Long way to go yet.

I've been sharing more progress photos on my patreon, but I just want to thank @kazplay.com for the advice with the eye paint (yes the gold looks incredible) and about the kanekalon, which I am super excited to start.

I'm not sure, I've never done this before! I was thinking of sealing them up (vision isn't through these), but we shall see.

CreatureCave @creaturecave.co.uk · 2d

This is exactly what I'm using! There aren't any domes on these in this photo, just the sculpted insert. :) but I will put them inside the acrylic once they are dried.

I’ve been working as a full time freelance artist for well over a decade and I still feel this enormous sense of guilt for taking time off. There used to be this pride in working so hard you forget to eat but that kind of drive is never sustainable and always leads to burn out.

Painting some eyes!

Time to start airbrushing! 🖌️🎨

Haha I remember doing a sleep test years ago, and ya, being fully hooked up was wild.

CreatureCave @creaturecave.co.uk · 5d

Hope it wasn't too uncomfortable!
