I have several feet worth of dragon books (including that Dickinson :ptui!:), and several more feet of books which have dragons in them. I've been a paid professional fantasy artist since 1969!!! I've bought lots of dragons as 3d models as well as art prints (more than I can show on my walls, which used to be covered with dragons). I've animated them for games. I know something about the eastern dragons as well as the great dragons of western literature.

This is an abomination, although not as bad as others that I've seen. Dr. Frankenstein could do better (at least he chose the best examples of each body part).

Any living creature must have certain body proportions in order to eat, breathe, move, and mate. Flying is extra... and has its own biological rules.

Any evolved creature will show certain body structures because of the way cells divide and take on their purpose. If it grew from an egg, it will exhibit characteristics in common with other creatures which have grown from eggs.

Unless, of course, you don't accept the theory of evolution (some religions put faith over science).

Even a fantasy creature must follow the rules of this real world. Or are you going to say that gravity is a matter of fantasy, too? Sunlight? Air?

This is not only an awful-looking model, it is an overpriced one for just new morphs and rigging.

Not impressed! Not gullible, either.
