Dragon attack

[yarin_t]

Hello again
So I'm starting a new statue
"Dragon attack"

its more complex than previous Statues i made
the idea is a dragon who abducts a soldier and his friend trying to hold the friend that is kidnap foot in an attempt to stop the dragon.

so i started with armature







I'm intend to do a helmet for the soldier


And here I stopped a little
I started to think how I'm going to make him an chainmail.
after some searching and thought I got the idea how it going to be done.

Step one
Create a snake, by hand or with a tool.



Step two
Cut into small pieces
Rounding them slightly with your fingers


Step three
Using a tool with a round head I squeeze the first line


Then the second and repeats





Now another way but it requires a larger statue
Or really gentle touch

Step one create a snake
Step two rotated it around a stick


Cut it in the middle with a knife





The next step
Is forming rings again but this time cut them wider
Look at the picture


And connect them between each pair against the direction

Nice tip (first method), I'll try that.
Second method I used before, but instead of supersculpey I made rings from thin wire. After that you just push rings into the sculpey. You can do much smaller rings that way

Holy moly! That chain mail looks great! Going to require a lot of patience to complete that but man, I think it will be worth it! Keep it up man!
