Description Two of my biggest obsessions! Dragons are obvious of course, but what many of you don't know is that I am a storm chaser / amateur radio operator, and my partner Kyle & I volunteer every spring and through each storm season for the NOAA - National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration. NOAA/Skywarn volunteers help get the warning out faster for people in the path of severe thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes. It's that time of year again and we have been getting prepared for the season. So out of inspiration, here is my swirly dragon-abstract tornado design.

More dragons with tornadoes to come, and I may color this one if I have free time. Comments/tips/suggestions appreciated!

No. 2 pencil, drawing paper. Flash designed for my cousin.

Oooh, I love the tail...and the "abstractness" and detail of the tornado is rather cool!

Cool dragon, but the tornado isn't very... tornado-ish. Maybe if you made a tornado that was part of a dragon, or a dragon as part of a tornado, instead of separate things...

Now that gives me some serious ideas! Hmm...

It's a good pic, perhaps mixing a dragon into a tornado instead of wrapping it around would be even cooler. Tornadoes are wild critters, I doubt even a dragon could hold onto one for long. *L* But you did a great job, especially with the way it coils around the tornado so believably!

He looks like he's wrapped around a carrot maybe define the tornado as more of a...tornado...add some debris or something

A carrot, LOL! Thanks for the tip, I tried to make the tornado look more abstract so it wouldn't take away from the dragon but some debris would have been pretty cool. There's some at the bottom!
