Made by Rutger Huisman
Hello fellow enthusiasts! I made this lizard with the paper mache recipe. It is 44 cm long (without the tail), 26 cm high and 23 cm width. I also used lots of tin foil, plastic tubes cardboard and hot glue of course.
The toes i made with braided iron wire, then tin foil and at last paper mache.
I made the skin pattern with a knive when te clay was still flexible. First i painted it white, then green. Then is used a diluted black which i immediately wipe off with a paper towel. Then i dry brushed it with yellow paint and on top 2 layers of varnish.
This is a fantastic lizard! The shape, the painting, the texture: all are so well done. Congrats!!
I love this lizard. He has a such personality. I love the texture, paint techniques and those gnarly toenails are so great.
The toes are great! I’ll have to try that next time. I also love the skin texture, it looks like it must have taken a while.
Thx! The toes are realy strong. I made the tongue with the same technique so it could stay very thin.
You can feel the structure of the skin. It looks better in real then the photo shows.
Always looking for a great new way to make claws/toes. Nice work!
Thx! I try to improve my skills foor future projects!
