The "2-Headed beast" challenge! Make your own!
Okay. This is only partly a game. ItÔÇÖs more of a challenge.
From time to time, the Them will change, to other creatures, but we will start with dragons.
So many of you are gone dragon crazy. So now I challenge you all:
Create your own dragon:
You can draw it with pen and paint, computer or whatever you will.
You can do it from the bottom or change others work (but then remember to give credit)
The style can be any you will. But it must be a dragon.
You must post pictures of the creation process.
You must tell what tools you used:
You can make as many as you want.
Here is my own creation, itÔÇÖs a Morph of two dragons from Dragon cave:
and the process
Tools:
Paint and GIMP.
Due credit: all original images were taken from the Dragon cave wiki: dragcave.wikia.com/ and the result of said images are fan art.

Re: The Dragon challenge! Make your own!
This is awesome, but I have none of the technical skills required. Don't suppose you take requests?
You either die Chaotic, or you live long enough to see yourself become Lawful.

Re: The Dragon challenge! Make your own!
The morphing was what I had in mind, but I'd have to shop around a bit. Mostly I just wanted to add this thread to my feed so I was making a pretext to say something.

Re: The Dragon challenge! Make your own!
Arles, just a quick note: you're awesome. That is all.
"All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day. You had a bad day once. Am I right? I know I am. I can tell. You had a bad day and everything changed."

Re: The Dragon challenge! Make your own!
Haha, thanks for the sick praise, guys!
I liked the challenge idea because I had never actually drawn a dragon before, so I had to do a little research before starting.
I still think some things anatomy-wise are a little off, but I'm pleased with the overall final piece.
Now I'm afraid of ruining it if I attempt coloring, haha.

Re: The Dragon challenge! Make your own!
I think Arles has pretty much won the thread.
Nevertheless, I'm posting my pictures in the hopes of encouraging people to draw their own dragons too!
(You can't make a worse picture than the ones following up in this post, heh.)
The first part is actually cheating: I ran a mini game series on the old forum called "Small Mystery Games", and one of the tasks was that the players post random geometric shapes. Little did they know, I used the shapes they told me to draw a dragon, with an exact order for parts in which the input came. Luckily, the shapes turned out more-less easy.
Here is the result of that experiment:
Since I cannot post a "progress" picture of that, and to eventually make something "new" for this challenge, I decided to redraw the same dragon with Gimp. Fair warning: It did NOT get much better, but looks more draconic, imho.

Here is an pink origami dragon I made. Am planning to make another soon and can post additional photos of it in progress. All I used was pink origami paper and patience.

Nice one Bob. Bob I'm sorry I'll replace you with Bob... he looks more like a dragon, so from now on you are known a boB instead of Bob.

Missed "born of fire" in your version.
