It was time to build up my dragon's face and sculpt her features out of Aves Apoxie. I mixed up a little, then wet the cloth, and applied some white glue in the area I was going to add the Apoxie. I wasn't going to build up everything at once, but do it in stages. First up was building the base of the antlers, and the horn on her nose. Then I added her lower eye lids and nostrils, always working the Apoxie smoothly into the cloth. Then I added the inner gum line, and glued all the pre-made teeth into it. Then I let everything cure.... After the first layer of Apoxie had cured, I proceeded with the finishing details. I added her upper eyelids, and her upper lip... The other side of her head. Even though I tried as best as I could, the two sides are not mirror images of each other. Her right side looks a little more fierce, while the left looks a little friendlier. But then it's not like both sides of her face will ever show at the same time. And it just might be handy having a little variety of expression.

She looks great! I wouldn’t worry too much about the very slight difference in expressions. People’s faces are not perfectly symmetrical, so I imagine dragon’s are not symmetrical either. As you say, it may come in handy having different looks.

Your dragon girl is amazing - and I think it's cool that her face can depict different moods and feelings.

I like the eye details. The beadwork on her head is amazing and so pretty.
