Hey Matt,
I always love seeing 'brick-made' creatures, especially dragons! I have to
admit that I have a hard time understanding the pictures. What I mean is that
I see all the pieces clearly enough, just have a moment to see what the pieces
are meant to be.
What I think would help would be a good 'over-all' picture. One that shows the
dragon in a fairly cool pose that really looks dragon-like. The two or so
pictures you do have, have the dragon looking like he's eating birdseed.
Aside from all that.. WOW! What a serious project! Overall the dragon looks
pretty menacing, and all the horns make it look quite evil.
I'm interested in how you built the spine. Also I see a brown vine piece with
stuff attached to it.. what are you using that for? It looks very interesting.
I'd love some more comments on how exactly you made this monstrosity!
Thanks for sharing!
