Hi there,

It's really nice. The only other thing I'd do is make the mosiac
in a shield shape.

I like.. very simple, but powerful :)

Hello everyone,
Just posted some pictures to BrickShelf of a quick blue dragon mosaic that I
created over the weekend.

Here's a link to it:¬

I have always liked the dragon shields, so decided to make this mosaic using the
emblem of the rearing dragon.

It is mainly three colors, red, blue and yellow, with only a few dark grey
thrown in for a few shadows here and there.  I don't really think that the few
grey bits adds to the mosaic, and may consider removing them and replacing them
with nearby colors instead.

Anyway, hope you enjoy it.

Here's the folder link: ( once moderated)¬

Once the folder gets moderated, I also added the LDraw file that I used.  The
LDraw file is only 40 x 40, but I expanded the image by 2 studs in each
direction and added a black border.

Also, you can't see it in the pictures, but in the lower right corner I added my
name in plates, as has been done by other mosaic artists. :-)

(...) Thanks, I had considered making it a shield, but the original idea was to try to make this the floor of a throne room. I didn't think that I could make it recognizable smaller, so I did this size first. -Andy Lynch (21 years ago, 18-Sep-03, to lugnet.castle)
