Wow - I was away from my computer for a few days, while visiting family, and I came back to find all these wonderful comments on my lil Drac-In-The-Box! So happy to see how people have taken to him :)
Drac is my most recent creation - a delight to create and hard to part with when I sold him - but he has a wonderful home with a fellow fantasy sculptor!

Thanks again everyone...it might take me a while to get back to all you; I've got a couple dragons in the works that I'm excited to finish!

This is fantastic, I love the colours you've chosen. The rusty oranges and burnt tones give it a really antique feel, while the bright turquoise provides a playful contrast. Amazing work :)

I am awestruck! I love dragons and toys, so this is the perfect mesh of the best of both worlds. The colors are exquisite and the detail is very impressive. Exception work and definitely deserving of the DD. Congratulations on such an impressive piece of work!

There's nothing wrong with me that a little THC and TLC won't fix...

That's gorgeous! I love Jack-in-a-boxes... Does it actually open and close as well?

Great piece - it's got that old world charm mixed perfectly with your fun dragon-in-a-box concept. The colors are delicious, and the sculpting of the dragon's face looks fantastic. Well done, all around.
