Nice dragon! You are lucky, that you found it on the web... I am sorry, I see it for the first time.

But I like it.

How did you find it? Did you just google it? So cool...

I think the author is FUNAGAKURE Yuki. You can see here http://origami.gr.jp/New/Meeting/0806/index.html

Thank you very much jiabao!

Moonspinner: a friend asked me if I knew who it was, I do not know where they got the picture from though.

What a great dragon!! But I'm pretty sure there are no diagrams for that, so bad.

That dragon is awesome!

After seeing this dragon, I decided to design my own, because I like to copy people. I'm basically finished with the design, but I can't decide how to place the proportions of the legs. I could keep the original proportions, or lengthen the body but shorten the tail (the tail and body are the same length).The original proportions is basically the same as this one, with a short body and longer tail. I already folded the draft for the long-bodied version, but it looks a little awkward without being curved, although it looks closer to a real chinese dragon in appearance. Or it could have something to do with the crappy foil paper. I hope I can get some feed back from an expert on what should look better, because I'm tired, I'm running out of paper and I don't want to fold another draft. Thanks in advance!

I would personally go for a shorter body with a longer tail and neck. The body should be shortest, then the neck, then the tail, in my opinion.

I agree with the tail, I think it should be the longest part. And I think the head + neck should be longer than body... But I have never seen a real dragon so I can't be sure

here's one that's similar but from a different author I think

It's in Italian. I'm going to try to make the dragon and/or Phenix and hope I'll be successful

Well, the ryu jin looks pretty similar to that image. Apart from the fire. That's what 4.0 needs.

back to topic . does anyone have the diagram of the chinese dragon

Posted: **April 12th, 2009, 6:22 pm**

Risingphoenix, read the previous posts. It is stated in the link that jiabao posted that there are no diagrams for it.

edit: Yay! Post #400!
