Yay! Haku, the dragon from Spirited Away, here in mini clay form!
This took me about five or six hours to complete from start to finish, I started at about ten or ten-thirty and finished at about two-thirty, that includes the thirty minutes it took to bake the clay and make it hard.

I started by rolling out the white clay to make the snake-like body, then I had to pick all of the fur out of a pipe cleaner to get the bare wire in the middle, which I then stuck into the middle of the white body so as to have support.

Then I worked on the head, the size, shape, small details, the ears, etc. still only using the plain white clay. I stuck the head to the neck and then I used the grey clay to make the grey bottom of his stomach, then I mixed the blue and yellow clay to get the green blue hue I needed, and then placed a single strip along his back. Taking small twists of the green-blue clay, I placed the wavy spiky hair on top of the strip, making it stand up as I went along.

Next I did the horns, and finally the legs, which have small pieces of toothpicks in them for support. Yes, I am aware that I neglected the feet, but I wanted to bake it quickly before I lost the structure of the body.
