Resently dragons has been the only thing that i'm thinking about lately. You can blame that on the Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles episode where master splinter was talking about the Ninja Tribunal and the 5 dragons (that looked pretty awesome)

I've been drawing dragons like crazy, i would show you but i don't have access to a scanner.

Does any one have any sites for cool Dragon stuff? Art, stories, merch.


Don't worry werewolves is still number 1 in my book.

((I hate my self right now, I feel such like a n00b for writting this post :P ))

yeah, people have a lot of different styles to draw dragons, they're all pretty cool. I've liked dragons longer than I've liked werewolves, actually.

I don't own one single werewolf figure, movie, poster or anything...

...but I've got a Dragon perched on top of my computer desk right now, and more dragons all over my bedroom, along with my Dragon Calendar...

This Guy is the dragon I have sitting on my Computer right now, though I like the pose I put him in better...

I'm very picky...so in spite of the high quality of ALL the figures, there are only a few that I like, and that one is the only one I've bothered to pick up.

The rest of my Dragons are actually discount treasures that I bought at the toy store I used to work at. They are cheaply constructed, but exeptionally cool loking for the price, IMHO. (Though not nearly as cool as the Mcfarlane dragons). ...plus I have a little bendy, Gumby-like dragon as well, and a tiny metal figure.

...strangely, I don't own any Dragon Movies either...not even "DragonHeart"...and no poster Art either, excluding my calendars.

I did buy and read a collection of the "Dragonriders of Pern" books, but didn't much care for them, despite glowing reccomendations.


Another one of my Alias's is Doshido, which is another Dragon Character of mine (as well as a form of martial arts, and a specific kind of short blade, as I found out later on).


I had a series of dreams when I was younger in which I was heir to a magical power which transformed me into a Red dragon...which I thought was wierd, because I was more partial to Green dragons at the time...

This was a decade before the Disney Channel show "American Dragon"...strange that I never noticed the parallel untill just now.



Don't mind me...It's late and I'm just sort of rambling on whatever pops into my head about Dragons. I didn't have anything in perticular to say, so I just said everything.

I've got two of the McFarlane's dragons. They are frickin' awesome! I'd like to buy more in the future. :D
And sweet looking dragon edit Figarou 8)

I have no dragon movies as well yet. Not that their is many out their. Even fewer good ones. I like the movies/books from the dragons POV, where they are not just evil monsters to be slain.
I do have a big dragon poster, a smaller dragon picture, a dragon statue, a cool wooden dragon that can hang off the ceiling...proably some more stuff, cant remember.

Oooo....check this out!!!!


You know that Disney has dragons, right?

There is that small one in Mulan. There was also one in Sleeping Beauty.


Then there is Pete's Dragon. I saw that movie when I was younger. But I didn't like how that dragon looked.


Ok...Disney has some statues coming out called "Disney Dragonkind"


They have the dragon from "Mulan" and "Sleeping Beauty" as part of the line up.


What freaked me out is that the dragon from "Pete's Dragon" is also part of the line up.

Why did it freak me out? Take a look for yourself!!!

I'm more of a werewolf fan than a dragon fan.
I mean, I think the dragons from the Dragon Heart movies are pretty cool, but thats about it.
MMMM...........I think I have the second one of the series.
Well, there was only two made.

I felt the same way at first. But it has grown on me :D I like how this season has some better prodution values than the last. :)

Oh, I just bought this cool looking dragon that hangs on the wall. It is all black, and is holding a clear orb in its talons 8) At a gift shop in an amusement park of all places :)
They had an entire room dedicated to dragon stuff. It was beautiful*sniff* I was overwelmed for a bit, not sure what to get. Lots of Expensive stuff.

Interesting that so many werewolf fans also like dragons.

I have a ton of dragon statues that Im probably gonna get rid of in the move. But I love dragons too. Dragonheart just plain rocks. And lucky me, I get the dragon as a chinese astrology sign too. :D

I just picked up a book the other day, and I'm enjoying it thoroughly enough that I'm willing to recommend it:

His Majesty's Dragon, by Naomi Novik

There's no doubt in my mind that I'll be picking up the rest.
Aerial combat brings a thrilling new dimension to the Napoleonic Wars as valiant warriors rise to Britain's defense by taking to the skies . . . not aboard aircraft but atop the mighty backs of fighting dragons.

When HMS Reliant captures a French frigate and seizes its precious cargo, an unhatched dragon egg, fate sweeps Capt. Will Laurence from his seafaring life into an uncertain future--and an unexpected kinship with a most extraordinary creature. Thrust into the rarefied world of the Aerial Corps as master of the dragon Temeraire, he will face a crash course in the daring tactics of airborne battle. For as France's own dragon-borne forces raly to breach British soil in Bonaparte's boldest gambit, Laurence and Temeraire must soar into their own baptism of fire.
Anyway, I thought Anubis might like it.
