So. Merlin.

What happens when S1 of Merlin ends and we have to wait ages for S2?

This.

Yeah, yeah, everyone talks about the big slash dragon under the castle, but the dragon I really like is the one on Camelot's shield.











I've decided his name is Cuddles.

Uther will not be pleased.





Tough luck, Uther.

Cuddles only has the two hind limbs, so technically he's a wyvern not a dragon, but all the knights laughed at "Arthur Penwyvern."





His tongue is a four-strand braid of thread. (Yeah, that was a good idea.) Depending on his mood, it can either mean he's thirsty, saying "bleah," blowing a raspberry at you, or he wants a bite of your curry. And you'd better give it to him, too, because he can fry you like a Hot Pocket.

His eyes are a fetching copper color. They glitter, but you can't see that through the camera.





Like my other dragons, Cuddles' wings, tail and neck are wired. Unlike them, he isn't really poseable. His wiring is only for support.





Also unlike my other dragons, his wings aren't quite anatomically plausible. But hey, I makes 'em like I sees 'em.

(Ignore the loose white thread on the table. I had a spool sitting nearby.)



"I vigilantly stand guard over Camelot from any and all--hey, is that curry I smell?"

WOW! With his little toesies!!

And thanks for linking to your other dragons and the bat; they're all lovely and inspiring :D

It took me two tries to get his feet right; it was my first time making them that way but I think they turned out fine.

Thanks for your kind comments! Can you tell I like making winged things?
