This picture is 3nd part of my Dracology experiment, the study of Dragons and their anatomy. This picture shows the Red Dragons facials and scales (western type, inspired by Todd Lockwood's picture in the Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual, 3rd edition). The numbers shows different parts of the head, and should be linked to a page i have seperately... Unfortunately, I havn't found out what all of the parts are calles, so therefore, I can only publish the danish translation of the different parts. If you want the danish translations, please contact me. BUT REMEMBER: THIS PICTURE IF PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT-LAWS, AND SHOULD NOT BE MISUSED! CONTACT AND ASK ME BEFORE USE!

Wow. The detail and thought you put into all three of these pictures is just amazing! Awesome work.

15 Leon Vinten-Johansen replies: "Thank you, and there will be more... I am working on the last pictures... and that will take more than just an hour or two... (3xheadstudy took me almost 10 hours, and I still don't have the neck x3, the tail x3, the front legs/arms x3, the rear legs x3, the wing x3, the full body x3 and the inner organs, most of these from both side and front. Also want to make a theory drawing on how the dragons fire-breath works, and study og the different dragonscale types... so this will take some time!) But again, thanks for the comment!"

Hey. Love your work, it's really beatiful. You have good details.
Have met you once. Til Isa's fø'sdag. Jeg er Daniel Søndergaards kæreste. =) Han har reklameret lidt for dine tegninger.

But as I said, great work. Keep up the good work.

15 Leon Vinten-Johansen replies: "Oh, hi again Maia (did you know that "maia" is the elvish word for terror?). Thanks for the "spark of light" n' all... C'ya!"

Wow. Very realistic, one of the best dragon heads I've seen (which says I lot, as I spend a lot of time surfing the web and Elfwood for awesome pictures of dragons.) and the DETAILS!! STUNNING! Excellent scales and anatomy here.....the only nit-picky thing I have is the eye looks to small...but then, you probably meant it to look that way. I think it would look cooler with a bigger eye....but that's me. Great piece and keep up the good work!

In one of your replies on this picture above, you said that you want to find a theory on how dragons breathe fire. On the Animal Planet channel, there was a show which was called Dragons: A Fantasy Made Real. It was really neat and explained everything and the evolution of dragons and why some look different (chinese dragons don't have large wings or no wings at all while others have wings) Just those type of things. It also explained how they breathed fire. The neat thing was, it all made sense too, and it could have possibly been real. I'm not sure if you have the Animal Planet where you live, but if you can somehow find this show and watch it, I highly recomend it. 2

15 Leon Vinten-Johansen replies: "I do have Animal Planet, although I've never seen the program of which you speak. But thanks for recommending it, now I know what to look for 2 Though I'm working on my own theories, just got to have an expert look at it... But anyway, thanks!"
