Leonidus is almost done! Not counting Jath, he will be my tenth doll, and to celebrate I will be recreating Jath! Possibly, anyways, I also want to make a realistic doll...

So I'm curious - what does everyone think of as my weak points? My strong points? What should I focus on?

Doll List So Far - in Order:
Jath: Broken, dysfunctional, mostly-finished Holy Dragon. Experimental. Not photographed.

Tiny: Miniature drakling, black longpile cheap fur and dark-purple painted clay head and feet. For self. Pictured [link]

Sooty: Miniature drakling, white shortpile cheap fur and pale purple painted clay head and feet with sooty accents. Gift for sister. Pictured [link] [link]

Ritual: Thanatos naga, white and black fur in short and long piles respectively, both cheap, with black and white painted clay head and hands. Pictured [link]

Dark: Whelpling darkness dragon, longpile cheap black fur, maroon feet, stinger, and head, pink eyes. Sculpted after Verincia's head and feet were, but finished before I finished sewing her - the two were concurrent projects. Made to experiment with a different brand of clay. Pictured [link]

Verincia: Sheep dragon. Curly sheepy fur, black head and feet with shiny accents, white "pearl" tail. Made concurrently with Dark. Made as gift to brother. Lots of pictures, the best one is the main piece in [link]

"Alien": Alien dragon. Longpile black fur, black head and feet and hands and tailthing with green accents. Made as halloween/birthday gift to best friend. [link]

"Jester": I consider him one of my best dolls. Photo not available, as I didn't have time before he was passed on, although I have some quick phone snapshots and may upload one of him playing keyboard. Chaos music whelpling dragon, came with clay guitar. Made as a gift for my other best friend. Longpile black fur, black head and feet with white accents, long five-fingered front feet, red eyes, extra-glossy.

Tsskosiel: Finally complete, pictures will be uploaded when I have time to put up my backdrop - [link] has his head prior to its repaint, when the moon markings were dropped for golden and black lined designs (he didn't like the moons). Sculpted wayyy before Red Naga, finished wayyy after. Leopard print.

"Red Dragon": One of my favourite dolls I have ever produced, alongisde Tssy and Jester. Gift for my other other best friend. Originally an Eastern dragon design, I liked his armature so much with only front leg/arms that I didn't add back ones. Very short/fuzzy red fabric (velboa?) with painted ink accents, black Wal-Mart fuzzy leathery stuff, head and "hands" painted dark red and black with marvelous gold eyes.

Leonidus: Mother's Day doll (very late ). Lion-dragon, because damit weird animal combos. Offwhite fleece with offwhite very longpile fur (looks like maybe 2.5-3" or even a little more) accents. Had to be repainted because the blue paint refused to dry and then liquified and messed everything up. Looks to have ~4.5hrs left of work.

Furs Currently In My Possession: (for reference)
Cheap shortpile white: enough for a small doll? It's really small amount, probably mostly good for accents.
Cheap longbile black: enough for a small doll, I think
Fairly good quality shortpile leopard: Used on Tsskosiel. Can be shaved even shorter although it loses its luster (most of Tsskosi is shaved). Lots left.
Red velboa or chelline-ish stuff: Probably enough for a medium doll. Fair amount.
"Sheep fur": Lots left. Cheap stuff.
Black pleather: Lots left. Fuzzy. Cheapish.
Looks like it's highish quality, very plush longpile soft offwhite with some brownish guard hairs on parts of it: Fair amount left. Long enough that it's PROBABLY better left to accents.
