"Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."

Well it was only natural after building a bunch of dinosaur that I would need to build a dragon or two. I played around a bit with the body this time, remembering two different ways to do a pinch line.
I had thought the green neck way too big initially, but now that I assemble the picture I see it could have used a few more visible slats.
The whiskers give it a bit of an Asian dragon feel and it got me thinking about the differences in cultures. Many of the Asian myths of dragons have them as wise and powerful, oftentimes bringing good fortune or bountiful crops. Western dragons are no less wise, but they hoard treasure mainly and sleep and gobble you up.
