THE MAKING OF VARGAS - 2009
The thigh scales are roughed in. I had to leave some spaces blank until the very end, as I needed to be able to take the leg off and put it back on with the leg screws repeatedly until the sculpture was 97% completed. These empty spots were filled in just prior to the molding and casting stage.
The thigh on the opposite side is detailed, and the spikes on the Dragon's back are displayed.
A closer view of the work completed on the right leg. The ridges on the large scales still need to be put in place.
