Description
Here'es an old pic on me and Angel.She's an Albino Chinese Snow Dragon.
Very cute, cuddly, but full of toothy goodness when she gets ticked!
She also loves the freshly fallen winter snow (she thinks she commands it.... Who can blame her?)
Made with Super Sculpey, Marble Eyes, Feather boa, and artic fox fur.
She was later traded to Albert Alfaro or Imaginaruim Galleries for 2 of his Premuim Gallery dragons and 1 smaller shoulder buddy gremlin/dragon/thing. ($500!!
)

Wow! You did an amazing job with her! She's beautiful and it must have been such a good feeling that Imaginarium Galleries loved her too!

Do you have any pictures at all of the dragons you got? Or could you at least tell which sizes and face types they have?
I just got a "Drabbit" of my own on Sunday, and he's the average sized double-cable kind. Love love love him, and he's already showing his own "personality"

I do have pictures somewhere... but I think they're on my old laptops harddrive which the power cannot revive. So I'll have to get new pictures when I go back to PA and get all my boxes of stuff.
But I got a black and a white "Drabbit" dragons. The step up of the Gorgie if you follow the imaginariumgalleries.com site. Back then he made them slightly larger or at least had bigger poofs of fur. Now I think he's trying out more slim forming fur.
Actually the white one can be found here: [link] The black one beside (a Gorgie) it was one I got 2 years after when he featured the Dragonheart face.
This year I hope to buy a Titan if he has any I like.
You should post pictures of yours!

Well I hope that once you do find them you can take some pics and upload them. ; )
Oh, the adult ones? I think that's the kind I got so I can at least have a good idea of the sizes of your Drabbits.
Aw, they're cute! : ) I like the conversation, haha.
Oooh yes, those things are awesome. I saw one when I got mine. It had a nice natural tan fur color. If you're in Southern California, you might wanna try looking for it. Ya might even know which Fair it is if you do live around here. Though the chances are slim, huh?
Well, the camera I have sucks, and even better it's lost. But I can describe him: chocolate brown fur, gargoyle or "stony" gray skin, a sort of marbled pattern on his wings (which are basically a darker shade of his fur color, a "dark chocolate", if I may) with fur puffs the same color as the rest of his fur and small, square, black-tipped, caramel-colored feathers that shine an iridescent pink (the pink is like a darkish shade of salmon I guess, and strangely matches the color of my nails) sprouting out of the fur puffs. He has a long bushy tail roughly one and a half times the size of his body, and his face is semi-short, ending in a round snout with slit nostrils. His eyes (which follow you with a curious, wide-eyed, childish sorta look in them) are a baby, slightly icy blue, with cat-like pupils, and his ears are pointy, with his left rough-edged, looking as though he ripped it in a fight. And then he has a thin, long, dark gray beard (with multiple shades, ranging from near black to light gray) that is bristly to the touch. Also he's a double-cable so he really rocks.
At first I was stuck between two others with features I wish could be combined, and with two cables instead of one, (which is what they both had) and then I saw him in the back, with pretty much the best of both worlds and more. Luckily my grandpa owed me multiple birthday and Christmas gifts, on top of being a vendor at many Ren Fairs for decades, therefor having bartering power.

Unfortunately I am in Colorado... Lol! No where near the Western Coast.
Yours sounds really adorable!
Hahaha, Mr. Alfaro is a fan of mixed taxidermy it seems. I brought in my robotic griffin I made [link] and he was baffled. So I'm sure if you made some weird fox-griffin/dragon thing that was operated by a bike brake cable (his system is patented, so using what he does would be out of the question) then he may be tempted to trade with you! I guess he does collect fan-art if it's made well.
But I know what you mean by being torn between two! If I get one, I generally spend about 45 minutes JUST looking, and walk around with the two I'm debating on for another 30 minutes to see which one grows on me first. LOL!

Aw darn. Oh well, Colorado's a cool place.
Thanks, he was definitely my tie-breaker. : ) I must snap some pics when I can find a camera.
I dunno, I'm not really the craftsy type, for several reasons. Whatever though, they aren't too expensive.
Hey do you know if he does custom creature commissions? Like a creature I designed made into his type of puppet? Because I do a lot of creature and character design and I think it'd be awesome to bring at least one to life.
I'm not surprised that you've been there too. ; } It's so easy to be torn between multiple puppets of his.

I used to on his older site. You could contact him and find out. I have asked before but it's very costly.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay, I'll look into it later. : )

and now I ask myself where do you stuff all your art?
do you have a room for all the things you made?
really awesome things....aaaah LOVE <33

Lol! I just do it out of my apartment. Luckily I'm moving in with my BF who doesn't mind.

oh thats a good thing ^^
and you sell things also, do you live from the income?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, the income sure helps... especially with how the price of everything has gone up.

Wow she's really pretty!
How much would one of these cost me?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The last one like her I sold was $300, but I can easily do one for you fer $150... she was HUGE!
Her black brother, Obsidious, was near 4 foot draped over your shoulder!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh wow that is quite large!
Hmm if it didn't have real fur on it then how much would it be?
Although I do love real fur.. I'll have to think about it =3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it doesn't have real fur.... it's all faux fur.
Real fur would probably cost about $200 to make
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol oh, I thought in the description it said arctic fox fur.
Err I feel dumb now, but yeah, I'll definitely think about it. They're really cool so eventually I'm gonna have to buy one =3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OH! She did have little bits of artic fox for her face, but her body is faux fur. so a majority of it is fake.
Sorry.... my bad....
You can even try to make one yourself! I did with my friend Laura over one weekend. It was actually really fun! All you need is super sculpey, a brake cable, and some fuzz!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol that's ok! =3
Hmm and Ill have to try it out. Whats the brake cable for though?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
brake cables for bikes.... I found a 4 pack for $5 at walmart! That's uber cheap because they normally sell for $7 each .
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh I know what they're for, but what purpose are they for in the plushie?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, Angel is a cable puppet....meaning that there's a sheathed line that feeds into the back of her head hat allows her to open and close her jaws. So she sits on your choulder and has Chomping action! Scares the bejebus out of unwary people.
But this is true if you're after a plushie! you won't need the cable; just sculpt a head and legs!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh ok!
Thanks! I'll probably just try doing a non-chomping action one first, to get the hang of what I'm doing =3
I'm not very craft oriented XD
Hmm and you don't do dragon and dragon trades do you? Cuz I've got this dragon plush (It's on my featured deviation) that's kinda collecting dust on my nightstand. The dumb thing took two years to make and now I don't do anything with it XD but it has posable/movable wings and legs.
It's ok if you don't though, I just wanted to throw the idea out. =3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okie dokie! You must show me a picture when you get one done!
I don't normally do trades. If I do I approach the other artist first. And since I've picked up taxidermy, I havn't been one for plushies. Maybe I'm too much of a detail freak... but that's just me...

I don't really know.... I made her so long ago...
Nowadays If I were to make one, it'd take 6 consecutive hours.

Do you have pics of the ones you traded him for?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not sure....
I know one of the Premium dragons went to my good friend Stacey, and the little guy went to her mom.
I still have my Prem.Dragon (weighs a ton) Ugh!
I shall take some pics once I have access to the digicam again!
