Whoops, time to go. Barbaries aren't known for being the cheeriest of critters after all.
Fully articulated with ball and socket armature, hand sewn with a three foot wingspan and a 31" long body. This guy is the biggest soft sculpture we've done yet, and the only one we've done thus far with a moving jaw. His jaw opens, closes and holds in all positions in between. You can even cross his jaw over, if you wanted a derpy lookin' drake. :3 His head, hands and feet are hand painted resin casts of our original sculpts, and his wings are poseable down to the last tine.

Custom barbary drakes are available for order; please email us for details - wormsandbones@gmail.com Barbary drakes and their design belong to Homemade Horrors. Which goes without sayin'.
Thanks so much! We're really quite pleased at how these guys came out; they're pretty darn close to the original design (which I gotta give Bones credit for since she designed the pattern) and they move REALLY realistically which is awesome. Now we just need someone who does stop motion animation...
Stop motion is a pain in the bum, but you only need the software and a good camera really. I did one with a mate in college. Would be ideal critter to do it with though! are you going to limit the number of casts you do of these?
Maybe.
