Destruction must come before Creation, hence forward springs the Phoenix rising from the ashes.

Done filling up all the space now to smooth it and ad the leafy tendrils...




Tendrils look alot like gigant squid tentacles.

What are you smoothing it with? Or how?
That's got to be a ton of smoothing work!

Wow! More power to you! : )
When I was in a pottery class, they used a "kidney tool" to smooth things out, so I was just curious <3

[Marinus Mortimer]

Thanks for the kind words!

Decided to go ahead and extend the top part of the fluke cause the outer ridges ended in a 90 degree angle and i might not do it right in the tail body sculpt so i decided to sculpt part of the extended area on to the fluke sculpt.

Pics of to show how much i extended it up (this does not make the tail longer just shortens what i have to sculpt on the tail sculpt itself...




Another pic to show the length of the extension area from toes to fluke.


The area still in paper will be added to the tail body sculpt.

I was going to take the day and swim but i decided to stay home and sculpt for a while so here i am in the final phase of smoothing down the sculpt cant wait to start detail work.

I remember that in the beginning i aways wanted a dragon themed tail and I've been thinking of ways to bring that back and include it into this design so watch out for new color scheme and Dragon theme

I'm excited !!!

Working on tattering the edge of the fluke, i didn't realize when drawing the detail on the edge that it would be hard to follow the line with clay!
