Description is holding a sort of character design contest. The challenge was to design your dragon persona. (Not fursona aka Mary-Sue).
Dragon version here: [link]

I interpreted my dragon-sona as more of the "eastern" type since they're fuzzier. :3 (and I like my hair.) The design was strongly influenced by the Chinese Qilin (or Kirin...which is why the giraffe is thrown in there. Also i like giraffes). Technically, a qilin is NOT a dragon...but it's made up of dragon parts and looks enough like statues of Chinese dragons that I've seen.

I tried to use my actual proportions for the body too. I'm "pear shaped" meaning my hips are wider than my bust and shoulders. It's true, my arse is big.
(Lucius: It's not that big. >_> Really. I've seen bigger)
So have I. I'm just saying in relation to other measurements.

Anyway, other things that reflect "me" in the design which may not be a known factor to most.
1) Tiny feet. This is why I chose hooves over feet. Mine are near child size feet.
2) Scale Back - reflects my back scabs. I always seem to have them. It's really annoying. I also have lots of acne scars on my back.
3) White skin, brown hair - went literal with the color. Although I'm not THAT pale.

Contest Challege: Expressive Feature
Mane and Tail: Like a cat, my mane bristles when angry or scared. Normally it's pretty flat. The tail also very cat-like will be erect when happy.

Way to go with a really creative inspiration! I love your design! ^^ The hooves effect is really original, as I doubt many other entrants in this contest are going to go with that. I like the fur tufts, and your giraffe shirt is stinkin' awesome. Excellent job!

I like how your hair actually stretches down your back into a mane, rather than just sitting on your head. Very nice design.

The tail is a bit odd...but cute shirt.

My sister is actually REALLY amazing at drawing giraffes. In her room she painted a giraffe in a suit holding a glass of wine saying "Believe in Yourself". ._. I'll have to find a picture of it.

I want THAT on a t-shirt.

Thanks glad you can see the dragon because I see a WHOLE lot of unicorn. The colors really concerned me the most. I'm not always so great with color design. :/

I liked the fins and color scheme on yours. Orange and blue always work well together.
