Hai there.
Big picture. I warned.

So yeah, weird sitting pose. Water-dragon this time. Yay for long neck and whiskers!
Chaotic stripes and spots - my favourite kind of pattern. Mostly because I don't have to draw anything beforehand. :fuzzydemon:
He has a very mischievous look (Grab the shiny, run! Can't catch me!), but I don't think I can show that in the photo...

30ish cm (about 12 inches) from nose to tail, about 18cm (7 inches) high. This pose is bad for measuring :XD:

This one isn't for sale, and making a similar sized one won't be cheap, since it takes a lot of time to make=/
You can take a look at my commission info here - [link]

HOW did I not see this, before? I could have sworn I made it a point to go through your gallery. That's one of them so awesome things, I'd take with me everywhere, all the time, and probably even sleep with.

I swear, if I looked at this long enough, I'd fall to my knees and weep with joy. And it's just a picture. XD

I really don't know how you guys master beads like this. I've been working, but that's... just so amazing.

It was probably hiding underwater XD
Beadwork just takes time... and patience...and lots and lots of thread :XD:

Probably. Silly thing, hiding from someone who would revere it like a boss. LoL.

I hope, that one day, I can do something like this. One day. XD

The old man was really impressed too. He watched me, while I worked on my little baby dragon, for most of it. I called him over like, "Baby, you remember when I made my little red n black dragon?" he was like, "Uh huh" And I say, "You remember how long it took, and how frustrating it was?" - "yep" - "Well come check out this behemoth!" He gets over here, and the expression on his face was epic. XD Next came a slew of good expletives, and the like.

I've been using 8 pound test line for the stuff I've been working on. Is thread easier to use? I've heard it's all preference... But most of my thread that I have, is just general sewing standard stuff.

One day^^ More beadweavers is a good thing =P And maybe one day he will be as amazed by one of your creations=D

Thread, line - it's preference. Just has to be strong - try tearing it with your hands (wear gloves or something - line can leave some cuts otherwise). If you can't tear it, or if it's very hard to tear - it's good thread/line =) I use braided line - it tangles much less than thread or nylon.
