The Wind Dragon Emerging was inspired by the way feathers move in the wind and sort of a dragon/bird mashup. The sculpt is lighter and more fluid than the other dragons, with layered feather-like details that give it a sense of motion.
I printed the single-color version in Polymaker Matte PLA – Cappuccino, which fits the airy, natural feel of the design and lets the feather textures read cleanly without any post-processing.
