And now for something completely different.

{Note to moderators:
In view of the interests of some of the posters on this sub-fourm, and the theoretical interest of the matter itself, I believe this topic fits well into this sub-forum. In any case, it would otherwise be a MD topic, not being Media. }

I am going to panel a corner with massive wood panelling; and I plan to insert the fossil skeleton of a dragon. The panelling will suggest earth layers, while the skeleton will be modelled from unglazed and glazed porcelain and/or clay.

Each bone will be as accurately done as possible; I already have a full rough draft of the skeleton as a whole, which will be approximately 2 meters by 75 cm in size.

The fossil bones of the skeleton will be presented mostly side-on; individual veterbrae could easily reach 10 cm x 10 cm in size.
The entire fossil skeleton is meant to look as anatomically correct as possible (given an assumed existence of dragons ).

My question here is:
Anyone here with a passion for designing individual vertebrae ?
If you help me out, you get your name also done in clay/glaze, along with mine, in an unobtrusive corner of the artwork; you don't get cash, because I myself get none.

BTW, I'll also be doing a small fossil nautilus, but they're easy.

Ok I have no artistic skills whatsoever to help you out, but I do have a question. How did you get the a and the e to stick together in your subject title?

When you get this dragon built, you will have to take pictures...

Just "quote in reply" this post and you'll have this special character (I made the size a bit larger, so you'll probably want to delete the "size" and "color" if you ever use it; BTW, it's only one of the special characters available on the Character Table, which you should find under your progs in Windows):

I will; and you have a standing invitation to see the results for yourself (it will be in my house) anyway.

The reason why a fossilized dragon skeleton is because I thought there was too much risk of simply being schmalzy and tacky doing a live dragon; and I like fossils.

Sent you a PM, Gurdur.
