After I successfully made my first plush animal ( the bat), all the excitement went to my head and I plunged straight into my next project.

I wanted one of the amazing dragons from Reign of Fire. The shape and dimensions come from my doing a lot of sketching while staring at the movie's production photos. It's not exact, but close enough that I'm ( Read more... )

That looks really cool! I love the wings, and the tail.

Thanks! To my surprise, the tail turned out to be almost harder to do than the wings.

that looks SO great! I'd love a whole flock of them hanging over my bed for some reason.

He looks wonderful, just like a fire lizzard curling their tails around their mistresses and masters. I have yet to find out more about Reign of Fire. My dragon knowledge comes from Pern. ...and there are dozens of dragons -china as well as drawn- in my apartment. I just love them.

He does kind of look like a fire lizard, doesn't he? I sort of had that size in mind when I made him. ROF's dragons are monster-sized (and not blue)...they'd just as soon crush you as look at you. Not at all portable!

It's a fun movie, but what I really liked was the way they designed their dragons.

I'll have to make a point to see the movie at some time. My favourite dragon -moviewise- is from Dragonheart. He has all the best lines. *g*

Sean Connery's voice as a dragon... *swoon*

Funny, I was thinking "fire lizard" too, when I saw the shot of the tail curled around the forearm.
