Description
The skull of the Kaiser Dragon of the Appalachian Mountains.Once thought to be extinct, a recent find of an unfossilized skull proved the theory wrong.
Not much is known of this rare species of dragon, though native stories tell of the beast being a great tyrant of the land. They believed that ritual offerings would deter the beast's wrath and bring good fortune to their tribes.
So for those of you out East... please keep your cats and dogs indoors.
xD
Commissioned by the one and only
Enjoy!!!

I wonder why so many people use mammalian bones for dragons which are reptiles... You're not gonna fool me, I'm a nerd when it comes to zoology! xxD
I'm not questioning your skills, this skull is a work of art, but it is not even remotely similar to what I'd consider a dragon skull.

Lol! But Falcor was mammalian! He had hair and fluffy dog anatomy!
But being that dragons are left up to imagination, surely there would have been some that were mammals, avians, even insects : [link]
Just like how they are saying dinosaurs werent really lizards. Now they have feathers and some had hair.
LOL!
The world may never know....but it is fun to ponder!

So exactly how much do your commissions go for? Because i would absolutely die if I could get something like this
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For something of this caliber, maybe $250-275. All the skull and horns/spikes are real bone, and only put together using minimal blending.
For something the size of the African Cragback skull, it'd be about $350 (and I do have another skull base for him and sable horn cores)
Unicorns for $100 (since they are easy and technically anyone could make them!)

im assuming this is an art piece, but ... 70 percent of me wants to ask.. is this thing real??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is real bone and real bone pieces used to make this. All blending was done with a sculptable epoxy clay.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
so this is a real skull made of .. real bone??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The base is a real coyote skull, horns are real corsican sheep cores, cheek blade thingies are deer incisivums, chin spikes are chamois horn cores.
So yes! Skull made of real bone!
About 85$ bone, 15% sculptable epoxy clay.
Then painted (rather horribly) to be white. (The next one I will stain to look fossilized)

ohhh ok, i was wondering how this skull could have possibly come out so awesome looking, and i think its a rather nice painting of white
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
wow, this is amazing! it so much looks like the real deal, except for the bright white color
are you thinking of getting it toned in some way? to make it look more like it have been lying in the ground?
again, brilliant work

Thanks! And in my future synthetic skulls I plan to tea-stain them to look aged.

My pleasure. You're always very welcome!

real bone and tons of sculptable epoxy!

the details in the nose are too fine, and the frontal jaw area's look too real as well. I want to say you sculpted this on top of an existing skull of sorts?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The base of this was indeed a coyote skull.

I think its really cool, my only suggestion would be to change the way the large horns come off of the skull to make it look more realistic, that section is too smooth and blended, sort of like a ram skull.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The main horns were supposed to look ram-ish as I did use corsican sheep horn cores. Blending spot there is probably the most fakey.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the horns themselves look great, its just the little section where they come out of the skull. Keep up the good work!

Amazingly cool! I like the idea of starting with a real skull and adding on. Very well done!
