Oni and Dragon Sculpture

In Season 8, the ninja learn about the Oni and Dragon, creatures that inhabited a realm before Ninjago. Seeing as these creatures and their realm are essential to the lineage of the First Spinjitzu Master, and ultimately the Green Ninja, I decided to create representations of them.

For the Oni, I went with a lanky, shadowy design - a reference to the shapeshifting abilities of Oni. The head/face draws inspiration from the minifigure while the cloth (Vezon's Cape from Bionicle!) is a reference to the Oni's design in the Oni/Dragon scene from Season 8 Episode 3.

For the Dragon, I went with a Chinese dragon design. Since Mystake's painting in the same scene is colorless, I decided to go with white for the Dragon as a way of representing the theme of balance in Ninjago (Light/Darkness).

As a feature (and for my own convenience), this model can be separated into two separate models.
