After research and using knowledge from sculpture classes, I have decided to use chicken wire form to create the dragon. I will use rebar on the inside to give some support and connect it to the base. The base will be made from a cardboard mold and will be solid concrete so that the dragon will not blow away in the wind. The dragon itself will be hollow. Its chicken wire frame will be covered with cloth that has been dipped into concrete, using a method similar to paper mache. The video below is one that I found while researching of someone else using a similar method and their progress. After it is covered in concrete and cured, I will apply a simple mosaic over top to mimic scales on a dragon.
