The great spikes are added to the Dragon’s back. As you may have noticed from the preliminary sketch of the Dragon that hangs on the wall behind the work in progress, these spikes are different than what was originally drawn. Sometimes when I am in mid-sculpture I realize that the piece really should look different than what the original concept sketch told me it should look like. This is why I do not do very complex concept sketches before I begin work, as many times I enjoy the excitement of sculpting “on the fly” much more than following.
