Check out this man's work on FB: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Anthony-Watkins-AW-Sculpture/280705605285702
I am hoping this is for sale because this is definitely on the want list!!! When I first saw the images I thought it would make a great replacement for a GW dragon. Never really liked them that much. Then I saw the scale shot ......
Here is an image of the dragon and an image where he is using his son as scale. Yes, his son as scale. I wondered about posting the picture with the son but his FB page is a company type page and is fully public as are his photo's. I don't own the images.

2014 will be the year of zero GW purchases. Kneadite instead of GS, no paints or models. 2014 will be the year I finally make the move to military models and away from miniature games. |

Jesus promises the end of evil, Thor promised the end of Ice Giants.

Meh, I really dislike how all these huge dragons are always coiled up.

"Meh" - seriously? I didn't think he was that coiled up - if anything it is just how I would image it would be posed if I stumbled upon it and disturbed it whilst I was hunting for dinner for the family. I feel it has a degree of realism for a fantasy model not often seen - the way the skin hangs on the musculature for example as well as the lizard like properties of some of the musculature on his legs on ribs. Better than the standard dragons we have had on offer before IMHO. Of-course the size is a little big for the table-top.

Is he planning on mass producing that or just using it as a one-off sculpture?

I think the vinyl TSR red dragon is bigger than that. Though with grossly inferior detailing.

The pen is mightier then the sword, but you must keep a sword handy for when the pen runs out of ink.

I think youd have to be a very good airbrush artist to even consider it.

I don't think this will be a item for sale... Or at least not replicated.
His FB page doesn't appear to indicate any kind of sales (although i've probably been really stupid and missed something obvious :/ )
But that is one amazing dragon, top quality.

Yes but is this supposed to be a gaming mini? Because if all statues count I've seen way larger dragons.

Yeah. The ceramic painting scene is filled with dragons about that size (maybe a little smaller), but the detail isn't nearly as nice, of course.
