Dragon Bust 3 features a regal, horned dragon captured in a commanding roar. This sculpt emphasizes layered scale armor, sweeping horns, and a strong neck profile that gives the piece a noble yet ferocious presence. The open mouth, defined teeth, and deep scale overlap create strong shadow lines that translate exceptionally well to 3D printing.

This bust is designed as a display-focused fantasy sculpture, ideal for collectors, painters, and hobbyists who enjoy high-texture models with a balanced, statue-like silhouette.
