Kind of a dragonised small body. Having been laid up with a cold for a few days gave me an opportunity to tinker with Photoshop - and I came up with this, using elements of Susan's original design. It needs to be a bit more curved where the lower horn/claw joins the body, but that was beyond my Photoshop skills.

I bet it would've caused quite a stir amongst club members if you'd have posted this as your new baby dragon that just came in, or something like that. But I can see the potential, I agree on the horn/body joints. Maybe the appearance of the body would benefit from a somewhat smaller (less wide) shape for added elegance?

The headstock is very nice! The symetrical triple cut bottom is very nice too! My suggestions; extend the upper horn for balance, and narrow the waist a bit. Yes, the triple cut bottom is a great design! trekster Junior Username: trekster Post Number: 11 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Saturday, October 02, 2004 - 6:24 am:    Saaaaaawwweett! If you think about it, the inlay looks like you are looking at the dragon's back from above...add a pair of large folded wings and you have a beaut! --T flaxattack Intermediate Member Username: flaxattack Post Number: 153 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Saturday, October 02, 2004 - 10:37 am:    tuners? we dont need no stinkin tuners! but i do like the concept a lot especially the lower bout design i think you are on to something flaxattack Intermediate Member Username: flaxattack Post Number: 154 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Saturday, October 02, 2004 - 10:39 am:    btw- according to steve at superbass who has a dragn? that sicker weighs only 15 lbs... ouch- did someone say arthritis?> basstard Intermediate Member Username: basstard Post Number: 117 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Saturday, October 02, 2004 - 1:33 pm:    Coolissimo!
