We're nearing the end of the sculpting portion of our little journey.

Here, I've finished the legs. Eagle Claw has wrinkled texture up the leg and Dragon foot has scales all the way to the hip. I've also added a break between the head and the rest of the body. And the tail wire has been shaped, inserted, and secured.




To save on more expensive supplies, the tail was given a filling of air dry clay before being coated in Apoxie. The wings are also attached at this point. I placed them with a few drops of superglue then used Apoxie to blend them into the body.

If you're wondering why I've jumped the gun here and started painting? It helps me to locate rough areas that need to be sanded. Some areas will be smoothed out by the layers of paint, but others require sandpaper. It may sound painful but Discord really appreciates the extreme exfoliation! His skin is so silky smooth afterwards.




Tail spines! Each spine was shaped and allowed to dry before getting a brisk sanding along the bottom edge and the superglue treatment. Superglue is only a temporary solution, to hold the spines in place while a coil of Apoxie is used to make them a permanent part of the tail.




Facial hair, a short mane, and a little plastic surgery to his nose to fill in some teeth marks, makes Discord a handsome boy.
