The process began with a hand-carved foam form, reinforced by an internal steel armature, and fully encased in fiberglass for durability and strength.<\/p>\n<p>The dragon\u2019s textured scales were meticulously created using recycled tires, adding both visual depth and environmental significance. Intricately hand-carved wooden elements bring added character, forming the horns, claws, and tongue.<\/p>\n<p>Commissioned as a custom piece, this sculpture represents the mascot of a major brand, embodying both powerful symbolism and sustainable artistry.<\/p>\n<p>00:00 Intro<br \/>\n00:26 Starting<br \/>\n01:14 Banana Slug?<br \/>\n02:00 ROAST ME!<br \/>\n03:06 Who is this for?<br \/>\n03:40 Foam Carving<br \/>\n06:00 Tail<br \/>\n06:53 Carving tools<br \/>\n07:32 Wings<br \/>\n09:55 Spray Foaming<br \/>\n11:30 Fiberglassing<br \/>\n13:00 Dragon goes for drive<br \/>\n13:24 Spikes &amp; Pedestal<br \/>\n14:40 Eyes<br \/>\n15:20 AD<br \/>\n16:29 Clay<br \/>\n19:00 Spikes<br \/>\n19:36 Claws &amp; Tongue<br \/>\n20:33 PROBLEM<br \/>\n22:05 Fins?<br \/>\n23:56 Tires<br \/>\n26:04 Clay wings<br \/>\n26:55 Paint<br \/>\n27:32 HELP ME!<br \/>\n28:15 Mistakes were made<br \/>\n29:13 Trying something new<br \/>\n30:00 laser beams<br \/>\n31:14 Shipping dilemma<br \/>\n33:00 Reveal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carving a DRAGON out of clay and recycled materials.
