I just finished my first Dragon. He bites scratches and flies. He has no name yet. Any suggestions?

I like him.  There is something about the eyes though.  Maybe color the white around the eye the darker green of the wings and belly. Could also do an eyelid of sorts with some of the fabric.  Just not sure, but they seem to kind of fade away.  He really is cool and I love the dew claws on the wings!  So are the wings actuated by a pull or trigger inside the body?

That looks great - any chance of rotating the pics?

The wings are nonfunctional. I made a frame out of a pice of coat hanger and attached by putting a pocket on his back. They slip on and off easily for transport. The claws and teeth are from a
coyote.  I was putting eye lids on him but my wife said that they made him look to cute. I made the eyes out of a ping-pong ball, 2 30mm lenses and a down-loaded picture of a lord of the rings
eye. As with all my creatures he will never be truly finished. As I see or think of improvements I will do them.  Thanks for the suggestion about the eye lids. All I have to do is get them past my wife!

I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean by rotating the pictures.

You can rotate the images in your gallery so they are displayed correctly. You go to the page in the Gallery for the photo you want to rotate then Actiions > Edit Photo > Modify Photo. Clockwise 90 degrees C90 would flip it upright instead of on it's side. The only thing is if you want the change to show up in a post you have to go back and edit the post and insert the photo again. Best to rotate images before you insert them. I rotated the first on for you and updated the post.

Thanks for doing that and apologies for not being clearer.

The Dragon just told me his name. It's Agon-Dray. I wish I could say I thought of that myself but I didn't. I googled dragon names and this one jumped out at me.
