Description

I have finally finished this doll! It was the most difficult one I have ever worked on. This is the Tree Dragon, a trade I have made with emilysculpts and therefore this is why it can look familiar for you! Here is the original design: emilysculpts.deviantart.com/ar…

This is a sculpture I admire since long time ago. I fell in love with this creature and then started following emilysculpts works! The dragon was very inspiring and made me want to make a nature based creature too, but I couldn't take it out of my mind to work on my own. Then, one day we had the opportunity to make a trade with her and then I was going to make a doll of that so many time ago inspiring sculpture!! That was AMAZING! And happened exactly when I became a "plant lady". Loving plants, collecting, caring, growing. So, it is a very special doll for me.

It was the first time the reference was a sculpture and not an illustration. It was very different! And hard to not make it look that similar that would lost my own style. As you can see, I have to make some modifications on design, as a doll needs to move and some changes were needed. I have modified mostly the leaves on the body, and the horns, that made me change the ears too. But I think the changes looks great on him! I absolutely love his face <3

This is a handmade ball jointed doll, entirely made from scratch. I have used artificial plant as the leaves, so it won't be fragile. Also it is the most detailed doll I have ever made. I am very proud of the result! It looked so realistic as a plant that at the moment we were taking pictures, one of the trees of his back (that are attached with magnets) were accidentally lost and we took a lot of time to find it in the middle of the plants...xD I will make a video for you to see it in action!
