Dragon Statue XI

I finished my eleventh dragon today, which is basically an upgraded Dragon X. It has all the details I wanted to give to X but couldn't with it's prim budget of 15. I doubled the prim allowance on this one to make room for the details and the difference is pretty noticeable. It was actually originally going to be the remake of Dragon V, but it ended up looking so different by the time I got done with it that it ended up being number 11 instead. I'd love to remake the unlisted dragons, II and V, and I'd also like to make the releases a lot more frequent but Jade Leaf Studio is something I only work on occasionally.. when I'm in just the right mood or struck with a sudden burst of inspiration.

Kitsune Statue

I received a suggestion for a Kitsune Statue a number of years ago and only just got around to making one. As soon as it was suggested I had wanted to create one but never really got around to doing so. I based it's appearance on a number of existing shrine fox statues in Japan. It's also already on version 2 so you can imagine how long I was sitting on it without bothering to make a marketplace listing.

Gargoyle Update

This remake was one of the first examples of something I really tried to hand-sculpt the detail on. It's not too bad for a first-ish attempt. The gargoyle was one of my first statues and I wanted to give it a modern makeover. I can't believe it's already been about 3 months since I actually completed it, but left it sitting around in my inventory along with some of the other updates. Being too busy to actually take pictures for the marketplace and update the listing? Ayuki please..

Cobra Update

Back when I first made the cobra, I didn't know how to use any other sculpted primitive type besides 32x32. So I couldn't make a long body like what's possible with a 16x64 and as a result, it's body was split into multiple sections. That has always bugged me. I decided to rework it next knowing it was simple enough that it wouldn't take me longer then a couple days to do. I gave it a base to sit on and textured it with a golden material that I came up with after combining a few different substances together for some depth. End result = SHINY! The idea to make a gold one came from Ancient Egyptian themed statues and artifacts.
