Drawing for for the Ten Dragons deal. He gave the following request:
"I once wrote a description of a certain sea creature. Can you take that description, and apply it to a Western dragon? ...Seventy feet long. Pure silver with a long conical snout. A thick triangular head the size of a Volkswagen. Eyes bigger than bowling balls. Razor-sharp serrated teeth, nine inches. A crescent shaped tail, with a long, raked vertical blade and a shorter lower blade. A tall dorsal fin that cut a path through the night sky like a hot knife through butter. One of the greatest and most terrifying predators to ever exist in the sea. Carcharodon Megalodon. Or as someone else put it, 'Two words: Jurassic Shark.'"
I dunno if this is what you were expecting, Mouse, but it's what came to mind. Sort of a sea-dragon with a "Jaws" vibe...
Hmmm, I've done a shark-dragon, a cat-dragon, and a Bayformer-dragon... maybe next time I should just have people give me animals or characters and draw dragons based on them.
There was actually a movie on that subject too. They called it "Piranha II: The Spawning". It was described in one book as "a strong contender for anyone's list of all-time horror turkeys". However, the director apparently gained useful experience from it, using certain techniques learned here for the animatronics in one of his later films.
And I like the dragon too. I didn't have a clear image in mind (just a description of a shark), but now that I see her, I like her.

Q: How many Transformers fans does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Eight. One to change it, and the rest to complain that the light bulb was so much better back in the 80s.
