Steel Dragon Gargoyle Sculptures Needed

I’m upgrading the main gate to my farm and want two matching dragon-gargoyle sculptures, forged entirely from steel, to flank the entrance. Each piece should stand about 3 feet tall and lean toward a realistic, intimidating look rather than a cartoonish or abstract one. Sharp claws, snarling snouts, and especially well-defined scales are must-have details—I’d like visitors to notice the texture even from a distance.

The steel should be outdoor-grade and sealed against rust; these are meant to live outside year-round. I’m happy to discuss practical decisions such as internal armatures, mounting plates, or anchor bolts so installation is straightforward once they arrive.

What I need from you:
• Concept sketches confirming the overall pose and scale texture
• Progress photos or short videos of key fabrication stages
• Final delivery of two finished, rust-protected sculptures ready to bolt into a concrete base

I have a preference for blackened or dark-patina steel, but I’m open to your professional advice on finishes that will age well. If you can fabricate and arrange shipping, that’s ideal; otherwise, let me know what crating requirements I should prepare for.

Send over your portfolio of metalwork—particularly any creature or architectural pieces—and a brief outline of your process and timeline. I’m ready to start as soon as we agree on a design.
