Red Seafoam Eagle Wyrm
2020
40cm (16”) long, 31cm (12”) wingspan
This Eagle Wyrm has a burgundy coat fading into metallic gold and iridescent seafoam green on his claws, spines, horns, and the fingers of his wings. The wing membrane is further adorned with speckles of the same pale green.
Eagle Wyrms are a small, legless variety of dragon. They have keen eyesight and hunt mostly insects and spiders. Although it is somewhat dependent on each Eagle Wyrm’s individual personality, most can become loyal pets and can adapt to a wide variety of climates. They make excellent guards for the office, bedroom, treasure chest, model ship, or whatever else you have that could use a small, sharp-eyed dragon to watch over it. They can also be posed to sit on your shoulder.
Eagle Wyrms have polyurethane resin cast heads, and polymer clay claws & back spines. Their bodies are sewn from a suede-like synthetic knit fabric, stuffed with polyfill and fully wired for excellent posability. Their manes and tails are made of synthetic fur. The main color of the body is the innate color of the fabric; details and shading are done with acrylics. The resin and clay parts are sealed with polyurethane varnishes.
The first Eagle Wyrm face was sculpted in 2015, and several dragons were made with it through 2018. In 2020 I sculpted new faces with short and long-browed variations, and reworked the body and wing design & construction.
