I figured that I would put up a photoset of the progress of my Dragon Loki instead of letting the WIP photos float around my computer for all of eternity. I would have included a page of the original design sketches, but most of them are either lost among ten foot stacks of other sketches in my room, or not worth the effort it takes to put them up.
1. Design sketches, material decisions, color picking, etc (this specific picture was arranged so that I could show people what I was planning to work on. I loosely used the image in the middle of it when I was looking for materials)
2. Shaping of upholstery foam base and glove base.
3. (My personal favorite stage and photo) Addition of tail and horns; posing with suit on to see how everything works together in terms of shape and overall look.
4. Everything finished except for detailing and cleaning up (Eyes, dreadlocks, reinforcement of the teeth, and scales are not yet complete). Getting to this stage involved tons of pattern-creating, improvisation, sewing, and copious amounts of hot glue.
5. Complete!
