Dragon scales

Break's over, back to work! Fixed a part of the hammer I'd forgotten about, the eyes are actually holes, and along with the holes where the handle meets the hammer, they serve as vents. Because the Smith works with metals at such extreme temperatures, a cold hammer would cause either the hammer or the metal being worked to shatter from the temperature change. To prevent that, there is a firestone inside the hammer that keeps it hot enough, which causes a glow and a small amount of smoke to come through the vent holes.

Also started work on the dragon's scales. Started out by outlining the placements of the scales on one layer, then started adding shape to each scale on another. For the head I'm doing the scales by hand, but once I get into the body I'll need to start doing them with alphas.
