Splatter dragons and other cuteness
One of my favourite finds on Etsy are these dragons and beasties that look after dice. The challenge? Artist Becca Golins sells out super quickly.

This model does not look happy to be wearing a Toothless dragon Kigurumi
[Show me more] A black dragon onesie with wings? What’s not to love about modelling in that?

The majestic restoration of this red dragon’s mounted head
Canadian cosplayer and makeup FX artist Rynn Gallagher shared this remarkable red dragon conversion. I think the original is the WizKid’s Dungeons & Dragons Red Dragon Trophy Plaque. You can buy that from Amazon for a few hundred quid, but Rynn’s transformation is so thorough I’d estimate it adds hundreds more!
