Description
Can you spot the real dragon? My Gold Dragon, Li Jeng, is partaking in a Chinese new year's parade. The people on the left are trying to touch her tail, since it's common belief that touching a Gold Dragon will bring good fortune for the next year. Good thing Li doesn't mind it that much.It's sorta a remake of a much older image: [link]
To celebrate my being here on DA for a year now. It's been great so far,
a belated happy New Year to all of you.

Hmmm, I wonder why she didn’t want to work as policewoman - Gold dragons live for justice.

She had a very reclusive and sheltered life in a monastery in Tibet. That and the current Chinese regime autocratic and oppressive

I see. And what is her opinion?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She isn't really interested in being a cop and chasing after petty street criminals, she tends to go after the bigger targets like dictators, terrorist groups and drug barons.

I see. Anyway typical goal of Gold dragon to wipe out all the evil still here. I heard leader of Gold dragons they chose is being called King/Queen of Justice.

After careful inspecting. I noticed she only has partially one wing and the other is gone completely. Is it prediction that she will get her ^^^ kicked? Or were you just too lazy. Or both?

What are you talking about? Her wings are folded up on her back, in the same way a fan is folded up.

Hmm, something tells me Li would not like Inspector Coliandro even with his catchy theme song [link]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I don't think she will.

Actually, she might. He might be kind of a asshole l, but he's still the good guy in the end and does the right thing and catches the bad guys.

Hmm, I'd say he's actually better than Jerome. Coliandro never betrayed a woman. Quite the opposite as he can't seem to get a girl in the end lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Did he also assault a fortress full of angry ninja-like Asians to save said woman?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, but that only happens in fantasy. Coliandro is set in the real world
Plus he's French...

Apparently, not even the G.I. Joes care about France as in their movie Paris gets screwed over too...

... A I'm getting a not so subtle reminder of a very sweet disney movie... One that had a really kick-a** fight scene with a dragon...

The only Disney movie I remember having a dragon fight is Sleeping Beauty.

I'm talking about the new Sorcerer's Apprentice.

Hmh, I haven't seen that one. Is it an inteligent dragon or just another dumb monster?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well it was more of an imprisoned one being forced to bow to the magics of a dark magician.
From what I saw it looked like it had the intellect of the humans that the magician used.

Really great work here. It's interesting as the light makes the dragon look much more red than gold.
Light and shading is something I should really learn to prefect.
