Step 4 - Wings

I re-done the wings three times. The first time I followed the turtorial and used sheets of mesh for the web of the wings. I cut the mesh to the size of the wing and used 0.5mm wire to attach it to the armature, I then covered the wing in a thin layer of super sculpey using sheets just like in the tutorial, but I wasn't happy with how it looked, it was very flat on the back of the and I had cut the mesh wrong so it didn't fit the way I hoped. I striped the wing back and started over. I done the wings the same way as before cutting the mesh to the correct shape this time, and to avoid the flat surface I used another piece off 2mm wire on the back of the mesh. I then covered both wings with super sculpey. 

I also used a short length of wire to attach the two wings together to stop them from drooping from the weight of the sculpey, but, this didn't work.

After looking at the both wings done, I decided that I hated them. The extra piece of wire on the back of the wing stopped it from being flat but this was too much armature and the back looked the same as the front, so did not look realistic. Furthermore, after looking at some more photos of dragons I noticed that most dragons had four spines in their wings, mine only had three.

During my years in education I finally learnt that if you don't like something then start over, I knew that if I left  it like this I would be really annoyed with myself and would not be happy with the finished sculpture so I striped the wings right back.
