IM VERY SORRY! I FORGOT TO MENTION TWO NEEDED MATERIALS:
A small paintbrush and a sponge brush/ kitchen sponge
While that clay is drying, sculpt the teeth out of clay. Use the references you collected to make it as accurate as possible :)
Glue in the red beads on each side for the eyes.
Once every piece of clay is fully dry, hot glue the teeth onto the jaw. Using your hot glue, layer lots of it to create 3d gums. Do this all around.
Once the hot glue is dry, roll your clay out and spread it around this section:
Using your toothpick, poke texture all around the clay. You can let it dry by propping it up. Use your refs for any details!
Finally, repeat that same process in this area, except not adding texture this time. Make sure to still add the swirls and such.
Do not put clay into the area where the snow wraith tooth goes!
Cut out a plastic disk that can fit into the back area of the dragon eye. Next, cut out 7 flay trapezoids out of clay, making sure they can sit side by side, forming a circle with nothing in the middle. Fold a piece of cardboard accordian style, then cut it up into 7 pieces that can be glued onto the trapezoids. These will act as buttons. (Refer to the video if you're confused) Then, cut out a smaller plastic disk that can fit in the center. Wrap the smaller disk in paper. Finally, glue verything onto the larger disk, then glue the larger disk into the back of the dragon eye. There, you have created the button mechanism in the back!
Using the cardboard you saved from the front, glue a plastic disk that fits in the cardboard. It should fit into that area, creating the lens. Using clay, create this design:
Now, you should have all the pieces in aside from the snow wraith tooth and the lens.
To create the lens, use the same process as the front , making sure it fits into the compartment behind the head. Use clay for the pattern as well.
For the snow wraith tooth, take the cardboard disk and glue a small cardboard rectangle on it. That will be the base for the tooth. After that, sculpt the tooth using references. Glue it if it is unsteady. I glued mine in, but if you want an interactive element, you can keep it out and add the ability to twist it into place.
Now that you have everything, it's time to paint. Mix brown, white, and green paint together until you create a tan-colored mixture. Paint that on the head, the place behind the lens compartment and the back.
Next, take your sponge and put paint on it, one side brown, the other side green. Dab that a few times on your paint pallette to make sure it's not too strong, then being pressing that onto the tan parts to add a worn, aged look.
Paint the twisting parts the same dark brown from the beginning and let that dry fully. Finally, take your gold paint and paint on the details. I used gold paper, so I traced my designs on there, cut them up, and used hot glue to place them on there. Paint the dragon eye lens, buttons in the center, and front lens brown as well. For a finishing touch, add tan paint onto the buttons to create the illusion of the designs that are on there.
Finally, using your masking tape, cover up any part you want to keep shiny, then use your matte spray. Let that dry and you're done!
If you have any questions, please comment them. 😛😼😼
