Oreloki's Entry- Prasinis Wyrm Ornament
Posted: December 13th, 2014, 8:56:45 pm
This is my entry for the December contest. He's a cute little Prasinis Wyrm that hangs from the tree by his tail. He was made of sculpy, then hand-painted with acrylics (I burnt the living bejeezus out of him, so he had to be painted white again xD). The red and green acrylics were mixed with some metallic gold paint, so they have a subtle luster to them. The whole piece was then given a glossy coat of mod-podge to give it a nice finished look. I was going to tie a big red ribbon to his bum, but it looked too floppy, so I scrapped that idea. Oh well.
My inspiration was, of course, the fact that the prasinis wyrm is one of my favorite creatures. It hold a special meaning to me, as it was released on the first christmas I had with my beloved. I've long been gladdened by the sight of my mom's big huge box of ornaments that she's collected over the years. Each one is unique and most of them are hand-crafted. Some day, when my beloved and I have a family of our own, I want to have just as unique of a collection. Since we're both obsessed with dragons, I just had to make a little ornament of this guy, so some day when we manage to live together and be a happy family, we can have a christmas-themed dragon hanging in our tree every year.
