#dragon puppet

I recently tried my hand at making a paper dragon puppet for the first real time — and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out! The character is Temeraire from His Majesty’s Dragon.

Lately, I’ve been in a pretty low rut due to job loss and some difficult health realizations. But for the first time in a long while, I felt a real spark of creativity — and, even better, I actually had the energy to act on it!

I’ve also been able to truly read and focus on a book again, something I haven’t managed in ages. Naturally, I revisited His Majesty’s Dragon by the ever-talented Naomi Novik. So here’s to her and her wonderful writing, which has inspired so many — myself included!

Here’s a still image to show off some of the finer details!

Materials used:

Card stock of unknown weight (left over from my teaching days)

Crayola watercolor pencils

Staedtler pigment liner (0.5)

Posca pens

Everything is held together by a lot of hot glue… seriously, an alarming amount of hot glue.

“Black hole sun, won’t you come…”

I made this several months ago and I'm not a huge fan of it anymore, but I thought I'd share anyway :3

(I need my mother's help w the base but otherwise)

This is about 3 days of work? (After school)

so i have this cousin whos very very cool and since she posts on yt i wanna see if i can help her get to 400 (shes like one away) or even something like 410? so yeah, like the friend promo i did awhile back, heres her channel (plus an amazing animation from her):

now, since my cousin isnt on tumblr, no grape ass bitch (@arcadianxanadus) can tell her of my surprise, and im gonna just tell you why you should subscribe to...

she does those dragon hand puppets, and shes very talented at making them! their designs and stories are very awesome :)

2. she also does animation, very good ones at that (the link is to an amazingly smooth one of hers)!

3. if those 2 art forms werent enough talent for her, she also does amazing at art, a lot better then i did at her age!

(of course, im not going to say her age or anything, thatd be rude)
