SciFi and Fantasy Art: Dragon Snail 06 - Near Miss

Near Miss is #6 in the Dragon Snail™ series. This little lady has just surprised a hungry bird, who soon thought better of dining on Dragon Snail™ in favor of less feisty prey. This female is several subtly marbled shades of pink, with blood-red eyes and horns. She is about 3.25 inches (8 cm) long (including feather) and 3 inches (7.5 cm) high.

Polymer clay, real seashell, and feather from a rather startled bird.

Thats awesome! I love the idea! I doubt that bird will think twice before attacking a dragonsnail again!

Fly forever free!

She looks very triumphant! Nice expression. The feather is a clever touch.

:-) Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thanks very much! I wanted her to have an expression like, "HAH! Hunt ME, will you?!" 2"

Oooh, Makigai has had his position as my favorite usurped 12. This one is just so sweet, her face is so special and expressive! The structure of the head is so detailed, as well, I can see where bones should be. She is wonderful, great job!

:-) Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "She is one of my favorites, too! Makigai will always hold a special place in my heart (and he lives with one of my best friends), but I really love this one even though I am usually allergic to pink. I'm sort of sad that I sold her, but I'm glad someone else gets to enjoy her too. Thanks for your wonderful compliments!"

Oh. It's so cute! When I got this up on my screen I just couldn't help smiling. It made me so glad! You're an amazing, artist, Erin! Don't ever loose it.

:-) Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thank you, Sofie! 2 I just got a glimpse of the wonderful equines in your gallery... I will check them out more closely!"

i agree with Quiet and Shy above. sorry Yamir, i like this one best! 10

:-) Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Ymir's cool with that. He's very supportive of his cousin. (Not only that, but he suspects that she could kick his butt... if he had one.) 2 Thanks for commenting! "

I didn't comment on this little lady?? o_o How could I miss her? She's so mischieveious looking, and the colours are great! Gotta love red eyes ^_^ The feather in her mouth is the perfect last touch 2 This has got to be among my favourite pieces on Elfwood 1

:-) Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thank you! She's one of my very favorite Dragon Snails, even though I usually hate pink. XD I love red eyes too; maybe I'll do an albino next. "

I love this! Adding the gloss glaze really makes it realistic!

:-) Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thanks Amanda! Next I'll be adding a slime trail. 1 "
