Artist's Comments

This dragon was commissioned by *DrKong who wanted it to portray the balance of the yin/yang. He suggested yellow and black as the colors, which works out very well because in dragon lore, the gold dragon is good and the black dragon is evil. He also chose his name, because as he put it, "You need both Ying and Yang to be at balance with yourself".

He is a happy dragon, but don't let that fool you. His wings show the scars of many a battle. Scorch marks prove he is a scrapper, but he's just vain enough to be glad that they blend in with his natural spots. His devilish grin and proud stance combined with his self-confidence make him the desire of every female dragon in the region.

He is made out of polymer clay. He stands 7 1/2" tall. Each scale was made individually. It took me about 32 hours from start to finish. If you'd like to see pictures of this work in progress, please visit my blog at www.shedreamsindigital.net

he seems very just, just as i imagine a dragon governing the yin yang properties should be.

That's so awesome. What are his wings, horns and little wing spikes made out of?

His wings are made of a material by Elmers called 3D. I smear it out over a textured surface, then wait for it to dry and peel it off. I can then cut it, apply it, paint it and add a coat of varnish over both sides to protect it.

The horns and spikes are made of transparent polymer clay then waxed to give them a little sheen.
