The Dragon the was once a Wolf

[Kimmermonroe]

I'm not going to lie....he was supposed to be a wolf.
When I drew him....out he was a wolf, when I started sculpting him..... he was a wolf, when I finished him......all I could see was dragon. What do you see?.
He's all hand done with polymer clay in different sizes on a wood plaque. The eyes however are glass..
There is a glaze on the dragon but I left the background with a more muted steampunk type coloring/tone
The wood plaque is 20" high and a little over 11" wide
The dragon is 11 1/2"

He looks like a wolf to me.  Amazed at the details!  What a great project!

ditto - i see wolf, albeit stylized - but I like it, regardless!

[Homerof2]

Definitely a wolf.

[Kimmermonroe]

Really? I'm so happy you see the wolf too.... I took a poll and most of my friends said dragon...and one said cow, but he was forgiven.

[thisbirdsabsurd]

I think wolf too - but maybe it's the "curlyness" of him that gives him a dragony feel.

Wow! This is awesome!

[elderflower]

errrm Wild Boar anyone?     Actually he is brilliant. I love all the spirals that make up the background and are reflected in his fur. And his eyes are really good.

I see a wolf, too... I think it's the distinctive doggy nose that does the job for me!  Beautiful work! Pinned!

[Kimmermonroe]

I was totally going for a doggy nose. That's where I started..... Then everyone told me it looked like a dragons nose. Then they there me off from there.

its weird that in the larger over all picture I can see dragon but in the closer pic of just the animal i see Wolf. either way he is awesome

[KittyHerman]

Maybe he's related to falkor the luck dragon...he's a doggy type dragon. It is a wonderful piece.

I see a wolf too, looks amazing!!!

[Critter10]

I certainly see the wolf, though the eyes can appear very dragon-like as well. Either way, this is a simply epically awesome piece of art, so beautiful!

[Capillus]

I definitely saw wolf-all the spirals and curls give it a Celtic feel!

[Kimmermonroe]

Aww thanks everyone!

[triciasquilts]

I've always seen a wolf!

[dfabbric]

I see both, but I think more wolf. I didn't read the title and was just reading the write up. All I thought was wolf, I wouldn't have even thought Dragon if I hadn't read it.

[cat2007]

is that a wragon or dolf I see....

[FoxyBlue]

He's a dragon to me! And a most marvellous dragon at that! Beautiful work. I love textured wall art!

[WingsOfClay]

dragon too, for sure! those spirals are gorgeous! clay extruder? i bought one, but have not gotten around to using it yet...

[FairyWings]

I see a dragon, I can see the wolf after reading  the post but I thought it was a dragon when I first saw it. I think it's the end of the nose that makes the difference, Whichever it is, It's really great
