    Ok, Melody, I assume your dragons aren’t sculpted actual size, so how big are these dragons supposed to be in “real life”? They are relative in size to one another though, right? Like, mommy dragon is smaller than male, which is smaller than OW which is slightly smaller than Emperor. Is the male dragon the size of a horse or a house? How do you see them interacting with their environment while you were sculpting them? I’m curious how these guys would look, if they decide to visit. It’s sad but I think about these things alot. 🙄

                I have two mutually exclusive thoughts on that.
                one : I intended Windstone dragons to be exactly the size they are. My underlying concept for the line is that they aren’t statues of dragons, they are Windstones which are exactly what they are, right there in front of you. Like Pocket Dragons(tm), that are really the size they are, and actually present in your room with you. They aren’t statues representing something else. That is one reason my dragons are in somewhat static poses. It makes them seem real and alive, they are just sitting still until you look away. If a dragon statue is roaring and attacking a knight or something, it removes the subject to an imaginary world. It becomes a frozen actor on a stage-like setting that isn’t in your time.. it is hard to explain. There is nothing wrong with this, but it isn’t the concept I have for mine.

                two: Then there are the Wizards.
                They have Windstone sized dragons with them, but the smaller wizards also are in scale with the adult dragons, the size I pictured dragons should be be. Bigger than a horse, kinda dinosaur size.
                The royal hatching baby dragons are a little large to be in scale with the adults, but the adults are in scale with each other.

                So they are two sizes at once, one on your desk one in your imagination.

                This is the sort of thing that you can do when you ride a hippogriff. Hippogriffs represent the ability to embrace mutually exclusive facts. They carry you to their world where you don’t have to worry about it!

                Thank you. This explains so much! Can I quote you on this? I’m blown away. I love it.

                  This so cool. This is the way I’ve always thought of them. Especially the male dragon. He’s sitting there, like a cat, watching you, waiting for you to do something silly so he can laugh at you when you’re not looking (Silly Humans).

                  I’ve always thought they were the perfect size for dragon pets. They seem to have more personality than other dragons I’ve seen. Maybe that’s why we get so attached to them. 🙂
