Take flight with this Floating Dragon, a charming figurine inspired by the beloved art style of How to Train Your Dragon (HTTYD).  Capturing the expressive eyes and rounded, friendly aesthetics of the HTTYD universe, this model strikes a balance between cuteness and fantasy. The "floating" posture gives it a sense of weightlessness, making it a standout piece for any desk or shelf.

The photos show the model printed in FDM and professionally hand-painted using airbrush techniques. The distinct scales and skin texture are modeled specifically to hold paint well, making this an ideal project for:

• Practicing airbrush blending and shadows.
• Applying washes to bring out the scale details.

Printing Tips

• Supports: Tree supports are recommended for the chin, wings, and the floating sections of the body.
• Adhesion: Ensure good bed adhesion or use a brim, as the contact point on the base is designed to support the "floating" illusion.
• Layer Height: 0.12mm recommended for smooth curves.
• Infill: 15% .
