Animatronic Dragon

Artistic liberty dragon for a client using a neat scale print fur I found, features a one of a kind head carved of a EVA and upholstery foam, vision is out the neck, the ears are set on springs. The horns are super light weight real casts made by Black Crane creations. Claws, spikes, paw pads and hoofs by DVC (as I have no skill with resin or silicone) The animated light sensitive digital eyes were provided by GRNdragon0, my model changed jobs and now I can only get him over after dark or in the bright morning sun so sadly my daytime shots are all at a time when it is too bright to see the eyes, but seeing as how I based the color of the head on a Canada goose the spooky dark eyes still suit him. Being my first attempt to animate a snarl I kept it really subtle, I rigged the snarl up puppetry style to work via a cable down your arm (like my Loftwing beak) originally but then I had GRNdragon0 rig up a motorized pulley so it is now remote control instead
