Hee-hee-hee.
So I figured it's time to start...
The Planetary Dragon Series 2011!!!!!!
I think a lot of people probably agree with me. *bites tongue*
But yeah, kicking it off. ^^
And starting with the Quiper Belt dragon! He looks like an alien - and that's because he pretty much is. The Quiper Belt is one of the most distant orbiting phenomenon in our Solar System - save for a few dwarf planets.
Similar to the Asteroid Belt, the Quiper Belt is a rocky ring made of chunks of rock and ice. It exists beyond Pluto by a few thousand miles or so, and it is one of the reasons why Pluto isn't considered a legitimate planet anymore, (which I myself am protesting.) Pluto is now considered a rather large, with a moon, orbiting body within the Quiper Belt, along with some neighbors that have been discovered in the past few years by high-res telescopes.
Chunks of rock and ice? Sounds kinda' like, oh, I dunno, comets? That's because most of the comets in our Solar System come from the Quiper Belt. o3o Fancy~~~ Can comets be considered orbiting bodies? Well...yes and no, depending on how long they live, but we here on Earth encounter them occassionally, like Hale-Bopp, and, most famously, Haley.
Ice in the Quiper Belt? Ice as in water? Probably not. As the ice on the bodies in the Quiper Belt exist in extreme conditions from being such a helluva long drive from the Sun, other elements exist in this petrified, frozen state, similar to Jupiter's moons like Titan. The bodies are so cold that anything that we know would immediately become frozen solid. We're not talking F or C, we're talking freaking K.

Nyeh, doesn't matter Just thought so 'cause the Kuiper/Quiper Belt was called after a Dutch man called Gerard Kuiper. And since I'm Dutch, to me it sounds better if it were to be Kuiper,, but it doesn't matter really. We know what you mean, and that's important

This has to be one of the best series of pictures I've ever seen. One question though. why do all of your pictures have the deviantart logo in the middle of them? It kind of ruins it.

Aw, thanks so much!
It's the DeviantArt watermark so people won't steal my pics! >( It does stink, but I've had people try to rip me before.

All right! Planetary Dragons return!
It's ok, Pluto. I'm not a planet either.
"...we're talking freaking K." Love it.

Awesome! I love that it's so alien like. And I like how far away the sun looks (assuming that little yellow dot IS the sun XD) Excellent work!
