(no subject)
I kinda have an idea of a project I want to do for a few months. I want to make an anatomically correct paper puppet of a D&D dragon. It would be an ongoing project, just something to do artistically between grading and such. Anyway, if you're familiar with D&D lore, the chromatic dragons are evil and the metallics are good. They're all really cool to look at so it makes it kinda hard to decide. I've provided pics and flavor text for each though, under the cut below! Though most of the metallics would be really hard, so I took those ones out of the running.
Poll Which dragon should I make into a puppet?
Black dragon
Black dragons are vile, evil tempered, and obsessed with death. They
live in fetid, swampy habitats. They find comfort in the
sickening-sweet aroma of drowned, rotting carcasses. The black dragon's
domain is the swamp and the jungle. They are abusive, quick to anger,
and malevolent. Their hearts are as black as their slimy scales.
A black dragon can be identified by his grim, skeletal appearance.
His eyes lie in deep sockets. His two great horns curve forward and
down. The flesh of his face appears to have partially deteriorated, as
if burnt by acid. Acidic slime drools from his menacing grin. He
smells of rotting vegetation, foul water, and poisonous acid.
Red Dragon
Red dragons are greedy and covetous, and obsessed with increasing
their treasure hoards. They live in warm habitats, such as volcanoes or
tropical islands. The red dragon's domain is is the mountain and the
island. They are vain, cunning, and terrible.
A red dragon can be identified by is long wings and two long horns.
He has a long, red, forked tongue. Tiny flames often dance in his
nostrils when he is angry. His eyes gleam with unrestrained greed when
he has seen treasure. He smells of smoke and sulfur.
Blue Dragon
Blue dragons are pensive, lawful, and vain. They live in hot, dry areas, such as sandy deserts or arid steppes.
A blue dragon can be identified by his frilled ears and a single
horn upon his head. His eyes are smooth, glossy, and without
pupils-when looking at them, you may feel as though you are looking into
eternity. The dry scent of ozone and sand follows a blue dragon
wherever he goes.
Green Dragon
The green dragon is a belligerent creature and master of intrigue,
politics, and backbiting. He is cruel. He prefers forests-the older
and bigger the trees, the better. Instead of being overtly aggressive,
he prefers to concoct elaborate schemes to gain power or wealth with as
little effort as possible. He may make his lair behind a waterfall or
near a lake, pond, or stream that provides a submerged entrance. The
closer one gets to his lair, the darker the woods become. Evil hangs in
the air, mingling with the forest scents to produce foul odors.
The green dragon's head is covered in hornlets. He has a long neck and legs, and resembles a brontosaurus.
White Dragon
White dragons are small and intelligent. They live in frigid, icy climates - usually arctic areas, but
sometimes very high mountains. They travel alone, and have very good memories. They prefer the solitude of snowy
plains and caves, far away from the warming rays of the sun.
A white dragon can be identified by his sharp, intelligent-looking eyes and intense expression. His scales resemble
fur, or even feathers, in places. His wide feet and sharp claws help him to walk atop snowbanks. An aura of coldness
seems to emanate from the white dragon.
Bronze Dragon
Having a strong sense of justice, bronze dragons do not tolerate
cruelty or anarchy in any form. They are also inquisitive and find
humanoids fascinating. They live near deep water, especially in
tropical costal areas and islands. They wage a constant struggle
against evil sea creatures, and often live in caves or near underground
streams or lakes.
Bronze dragons a beaklike snout and a pointed tongue. Their feet
are webbed and they have webbing behind their forelimbs. Their scales
are smooth and flat.
Silver Dragon
These dragons enjoy helping the meek and the lowly. They often
concern themselves with protecting the innocent and healing their
injuries. They love high mountains and vast, open skies with billowing
clouds. They enjoy flying and sometimes soar for hours just for the
pleasure of it.
A silver dragon has a beaklike nose, a strong chin, and a pointed
tongue. They are nonviolent and avoid combat whenever possible. They
are the most sensitive of all dragons.
