Statue of Astrape the sauropsida dragon. Astrape is originally the name of Jeus’s lightning spear.
Since I heard that dinosaurs are sauropsida - classification contains both bird, reptile. I wanted to create a dragon that shows characteristics as sauropsida. I mainly tried to ‘walking a fine line’ between ‘beak/mouth’, ‘feather/scale’, altough it’s hard to see these zoological details from this statue…
There are much more things designed for this flying dragon with high speed. Such as doughnut shaped lung, aerodynamic chestbone/horns, individually moving feathers made of corneous keratin, etc.
With 3d sketch tool Feather, i focused on making elegant curves and structure that symbolize anatomy of the dragon. Imagining that this is statue of the dragon, not dragon itself.
Statue stand was made by my friend Won.
