[QUOTE="Klaus, post: 6036416, member: 607"] He may be brilliant (high Int), but that is still a Chaotic Evil force of nature. "Un-hurried mind" fits the manipulative Greens or the regimented Blues (not to mention Silvers and Golds). Big Red's entire body (and its much longer tail) form a continuous form, twisted by the motion. It is more of a "wyrm" (as in "serpent") than the Lockwood red (which I love, BTW). The muscles don't bulge out so much, they're more tightly packed into the form. Really? I think they're more [URL="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SmugSnake"]Smug Snakes[/URL]. Certain individual red dragons might rise to Magnificent Bastardry, but their short tempers and unparalleled arrogance often cuts them short. Big Red's muscles bulge less than the Lockwood dragon's (which takes a lot from a bird's muscles, which are comparatively huge). Reptiles native to hot environments, such as gila monsters, rattlesnakes and horned lizards are *far* from smooth. That is something to be decided later. I agree that pose is important. But again, "methodical"? This is a Chaotic Evil monster. I prefer my (as [MENTION=63]RangerWickett[/MENTION] has called them) "jack-o-lantern dragons" (mouth open, glowing from within). Does it need hands to feel manipulative? I think that is shown in the eyes and head. And if you give them hands, they stop looking like dragons and start looking like dragonborn. I agree with you there. BUT I have to make a practical sidenote: a dragon's wings are huuuuuuuuge. But the space in a painting isn't, so you end up either cropping the wings off, or your dragon ends up looking tiny. Of all the classic Chromatics, I think "RAR!!!" fits the Red more than any other, perhaps save the White. [/QUOTE]
