Favorite dragon

Postby Jeikobu » Sat May 14, 2005 1:53 pm

I can't think of a very good place to put this so I'll just put it here. I thought of this last night and posted it since it just seemed like an interesting enough topic and for the most part I love dragons, so this came to mind. Just for fun, which kind of dragon is your favorite, western or eastern? Western dragons are more like what you see in America in films like Dragonheart and Reign of Fire. Eastern are more like Haku in Spirited Away, the kind that you see in the Orient that have more snake-like bodies.
I like both alot, but I actually prefer eastern. Maybe my Japanese heart is a part of this, and besides, they have a certain grace and yet ferociousness to them that is really amazing.
What's your opinion? Sorry if this seems like a dumb or pointless idea.

I like all dragons, but I prefer the way the Western dragons look. I always thought the serpentine dragons were more like large lizards and not quite as unique - meaning, a creature which stands out from anything else. IMHO, anyway. ^_____^

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Yeah Eastern dragons are more like serpents than anything. I like Western style ones more they look more unique.

I've never particularly cared for Eastern dragons. Western dragons are much more awesome, in my opinion.

Western mostly, but not every style of Western.

I'm picky in the proportions that I like, I guess.

I also like more adornments on them, whether that be horns, fangs, jewels, armor, or just funky head shapes.

Once had a Bearded Dragon as well...cute little guy, named him Rex.

It all depends on the dragon. I like them both. They bother rock!
