SciFi and Fantasy Art: Circles

There is a Japanese legend about dragons who hold their tails in their mouths and roll down the mountains to capture ususpecting passersby. This is a quick sketch i did of one such critter with a Sharpie marker on paper towel, while i had a quick break at work...Comments?

I think dragons that hold their tails in their mouths are called Oroboros, and I think they also symbolize eternity (I think I read that somewhere) but this is an awesome sketch! Napkins have been my savior more than once...

It would make a very good ring. & i *luv* paper towels! They're always there when regular paper decides 2 become scarce!

Dude! I guess I'm an old videogame collector for saying this, but play "Knuckles Chaotix" for the Sega Genesis 32X...there's a croc who rolls around in this exact way! At least find a screenshot of the crocodile. His name is Vector.

There are tiny lizards that live on the leaves of desert plants on hillsides. When predators come, they roll themselves into balls and roll down the hill to safety. Your sketch reminds me of those.

you picture reminds me mor of the African Dragons
also called Amphisbaena: Originating in Africa, this was a two headed dragon (one at the front, and one on the end of its tail). The front head would hold the tail (or neck as the case may be) in its mouth, creating a circle that allowed it to roll.
but if u say its an asian legend... I say!
COOL!
it's really interesting to see who all around the world you can find almost identical legends

the pic is cool!
