Description
Thank you to [link] for the idea...This image came together a little faster than I had anticipated...
This is supposed to be a Cheetah Dragon...If I had looked at some Cheetah pics before I was half done, the legs would be a bit longer...but the image captures the mood that I was thinking of...
The Cheetah Dragon enjoys running by things that are running very fast...The wings aid in directional changes and add distance to leaps, this Dragon cannot fly...

It helps for longer leaps and direction changes ... .. .

as long as you're changing the colors, i don't see why you should find too many different ways to do the mountains. there really aren't that many ways, anyway...

Mountains are the expressions of the land...Stone slowly splashing into the sky, while being ground down by wind, rain and gravity...is the mountains inception from the folding of the earth? from a breaking? an upthrust? vulcanism? is the stone hard or soft? is it a combination? Is the mountain scoured by wind and sand? by rain and ice?...so many things go into developing a mountains nature and the face it shows to those who look on it...
...and then there is how the light can accent the mountains aspect...
...as well say there are only three trees broad leaf, pine, and palm...
That gives me an idea...as soon as I get the baby Dragon and its step mom image done I am going to try some sad mountains...The Mountains Of Mourning...purples, blues misty stuff...and a Dragon of course...
Thank you!

Bloody hell!!! What an awesome (and cute) abomination of nature...
The expresion on his face made me laugh so hard...
Yay for the cheetah dragon and the "omnipresent autoritative figure" behind it!

Thank you!...The Cheetah Dragon would say" Find your true spirit...and run faster than it."

But...what good would finding my spirit do if IΒ΄d outrun it?
I would say: "Does a dying star wish to live just a bit longer?"

Allow your spirit to run even faster...any spirit will take on the shape of its confinement...the trick is to let it out of its shell before that shape becomes such habit that it can abide no other...

IΒ΄d pity a spirit thatΒ΄d take on my shape...
But I see your point...
(The trouble with spiritual debate is that you can make make fun of it so easily...even when it interests you...)

Spirits outlook on your shape would almost surely surprise you...
My feeling is that the reason Satin had to be banished from Heaven was he couldn't understand the joke...One too many times he said "God!, You cant do That!"

Actually, I kinda sympathize with the explanation given in the "Paradise lost."

It plays with the idea that Satan stood up to God because (along with his pride) as an omniscient, omnipotent being he could push the fates in the best direction, but as such the cost would be no free will, whichΒ΄d only serve to hamper this direction...

Hmmm...My Dragons live in an infinity of infinite universes where all things and actions can potentially be or not be...

Thank you!...I was almost feeling guilty about how quickly the image came together... the nice thing about a basic image like this is it leaves so much room for future development...

Thank you! I think that I spent as much or more time on the background as I did on the Cheetah Dragon...

Interesting hybrid!
It looks like an exact divide between a cheetah and you dragon style!

Thank you! I wasn't trying for a hybrid, my thoughts were more along the line of parallel evolution...though I DID SHAMELESSLY steal the Cheetah's coloration...
