Wow... That's amazing and incredibly detailed.

Any idea when these bad boys will be shipping out?

Modeling and painting of the prototype is DONE! :D I'll wait for Patchtogether to do the honors of posting it

Ladies and Gents . .. we have hit the big Five-O!!!

*dance* *dance*

Thank you thank you so much.

You guys are fantastic. we're at 48. Only two more to go!!! :)

Thank you ileano!

You're number 44, so 6 more to go. :)

I pre-ordered. How many pre-orders to go?

You almost need to find a dragon based website like http://www.dragoncon.org/ to put this guy up on and I'm sure the last spots would be snapped up in no time! Maybe you can get something on http://dragonadopters.com/

Holding at 43. Need just a few more to push it over the edge! :)

YAY. Well . .we're at 42 . .. so not there YET but hopefully soon :)

I bit the bullet and put in an order too! A guilty pleasure I could not resist.

@ Dream Traveler - I'm sure Poly will get there. It has had pretty good feed back so far. C:

Thanks everyone. we're at 37. Inching forward. :) Not sure the time limit for this preorder.

And thanks so much Suzi.

Any suggestions where to post this for more coverage?

Just preordered! ;)

Congrats Polysoup !! I hope it will soon go to the order section =)

25 preorders so half way there!

Big thanks to everyone. Anyone on the fence? Might want to consider it before it almost doubles in price.

My other figure is only 3 inches high and it's FULL of details (vapore macchina insetto). Imagine this one at 3x the size and what they'll be able to do with it. I really can't wait.

Wow you guys are awesome. We're at 15 already and it hasn't been more then a few days. Go go go! :) I still have to add my order in so that'll be a few as well.

Thank you everyone for your comments. If you want one you can GET one now!! They are up for preorder!! Check the link on the right. We need 50 to get these into full production.

Thanks!

Thanks guys. If you'd like to see this made we'll have to push PT to do so. Spam them with emails!!! :)

Thanks guys for the comments! Keep them up. Maybe with enough interest we can try and get this into preorder stage. ;)

Also, just as a shameless promotion I "DO" have another design that Patchtogether really nailed. 

http://www.patchtogether.com/store/vapore-macchina-insetto-218.html

Once again, thank you to everyone for showing your support! I learned a lot while creating this design. Here's the full 360 rotation for those interested

Give it a couple seconds to stream in then you can move it around however you'd like to check out the sides and back.

I also have a higher res version of the design (for desktop wallpapers n' such) If he goes to preorder I can certainly make that available to anyone interested.

Wow, that is an amazing idea!

It would be cool if the leaves on the hands would be removable leaf-covered-balls then you could put something different into his hands also.

Thanks Elfenn! Actually he has two arms as well. So he is cut off at the waist not the neck. Better than nothing I suppose :) I agree the whole thing would be cool but it would probably give any clay modeler a heart attack.

Very beautiful and such a good mix, this dragonsaï is a great idea ! The only detail that disturbs me is that we don't have him entirely, we only see his head and neck and personally I would have prefer an entire dragon, with a body made with wood and roots, and I think it would be possible to make it thanks a twisted bonsaï. But the pose you choose is still dynamic, you dragon seems alive !

Ugh, here's an actual working link.

Thanks again everyone for the interest :) I have this at a higher resolution if people want it as a wallpaper. Also, I have the 3d turn-around if people want to see the back and sides. I wish I could post it in the description

Oh wow Poly, this is amazing <333

I'd want this for sure, you have my vote ^^

Good luck!

INTERACTIVE 3D TURN-AROUND

Heya guys. Thanks for the interest in the design. I'm going to try something different here. I made a turn-around of the model. You can view it in 360 or stop it anytime and scroll around. Let me know what you guys think!! (And hopefully it won't kill my website since it does take a few moments to load up)

And another note: I wouldn't expect PatchTogether to match this design perfectly (every leaf and bump) but more grab the silhouette, face details, larger details like the way the arm/branch looks and go to town on the rest in clay. It's more important for the design to flow and look natural rather than matching things up one for one like you would want on a comic character.

Ooohh! I want this! It's just so gorgeous! <3 

Thanks guys. Looking forward to your design Zonkey. He's got the cuteness factor that this lacks.
