Dragon Bust 1 is a high-detail fantasy dragon head and neck sculpt designed for display, painting, and collector builds. The model features layered scales, sharp horns, deep texture transitions, and an aggressive open-mouth pose that reads well even at larger print sizes.

This bust is intended as a display piece, ideal for shelves, desks, or wall-mounted conversions if remixed. The sculpt balances organic detail with printability, making it suitable for hobbyists who enjoy post-processing and paint work.
