Challenge 1011: The dragonfest
The dragonfest I referred to last week turned out to be an interesting event in a reconstructed neolithic village, with many ancient crafts and games on display.

It was, however, noticeably short on dragons. This was the best one I could find. Can you make it a little more scary?

High res is here.

I think the word 'little' might be a life saver here.

Sorry about making so many, but the heat index here has been around 110°f, and I'm too old to fight that during the day... this silly Twilight Zone bit popped into my head this morning.

Lots of fun so far. Particularly like St. George on his inflatable horse!

I'm having real difficulty with this one. Anyway here's my best effort. You need to enlarge.

Hard to make something that cute into something scary - so here's a little scary- an early hunting party with one hell of a hunting companion.

Well that's a pretty fine job of changing a silly womble dragon into something nasty Frank. I hadn't expected to see that happen!

In my case it's, once more, small boys who are nasty!

Thanks David - just tried to stay un script.
In your case I see "Boys will be boys" or "Slay the Dragon"

Fairy Godmother says to crap inflatable dragon "would you like to be a REAL dragon?" to which the crap inflatable dragon says "Yes please!"...And behold...

A cautionary tale for our times Michael! Beware of modern fairy Godmothers!

Godmother asks our wee dragon if he wants to be a REAL dragon and promptly turns him into an AI one! 😆😅

On a purely visual, challenge note, I think this would be more entertaining if there were hints of the original left in the new. Red breast and tail with yellow horns perhaps?

I always enjoy your offerings Loyd. Never too many.

As to heat ..... looking out of the window at the cold, wet, miserable day outside, despite it being July, my sympathy for you is somewhat akin to crocodile tears.

Stay cool! 😀

I would be glad to trade weather with you for a few days.

I just looked up 110° F in real numbers. Yes. That is HOT!! I haven't been in that level of heat since I stopped working in India.
