Ta-done! Water Dragon

Instead of horns that I normally do on other dragons I opted to do seaweed tendrils.  I also added smaller patches of seaweed to the arms as you can see in the back image, but I wound up removing them they where not fuzzing up and looking light and airy like the sections on the head.  Due to it being a water dragon I went with making a longer finned tail and no hind legs.

 
I did an indoor shoot today because I realize the last few blue items I photographed out on my bench just got sapped of color by the silvering wood and I wanted the colors to show clearly.

Yes, there are no wings.  I thought about it in a practical manner and if it was swimming in the water the wings would cause to much drag and wouldn't be practical. Also it might make it too busy looking with all the details

WIP Water Dragon

This is my take on the Water dragon from my element set I have been working on the past week.

I unspun some navy, purple, and light blue and used the the singles held with the working yarn to get this effect, light to dark as I worked own.

I got a close up of the eyes I painted, they where clear cat eyes 7mm and now they are lavender dragon eyes.  I wish I had been able to get 8mm eyes but they didnt have them in that size still I think in person these look realy stunning.     
            
I need to take a day and paint up 20+ set's of eyes as my stock of hand painted is slowly being used up.

I plan on adding a little surprise element to this guy but not sure how it will look so I have to play with placement of it.
