The thought of a western dragon perching on top of a vast treasure mound of gold and jewels and weapons and Sharper Image catalogs seems to translate well for a player photograph.

Here's Sophie, who doesn't especially approve of being a model.




I always enjoy the praxis writeups that walk you through how you did it. In this case, it wasn't terribly hard, but still fun.

First, I needed wings to attach to a bunny. How to do that? Then I remembered that rongo rongo (my wife) has hairbands, so that seemed an obvious mechanism.


After trying my hand at drawing wings freehand, I realized I needed help.



So I asked Pleiades (the dragon), Edna (the cthula) and Spin (the cthulu) to pose for me. They were happy to help.





After that, it was pretty easy to use some colored manila folders and a hot glue gun to make a wing hairband for rabbits. And remember, I'm not just the founder, I'm a member, too. No wait, let me check my notes...





Then it was time to attack the vegetable problem.





Rongo rongo cut up all the carrot coins. I tried to see if my clever designs with vegetables would work. Gems cut from peppers didn't work, but the celery weapons, green pepper shields, and yellow pepper treasure chest worked out pretty well, I think.




Then it was just a matter of convincing Sophie not to squirm too much. Fortunately, rongo rongo is an expert bunny handler.



And then it was time to take lots of photos.

And for those who walk uncautiously into caves littered with the bones of large creatures and hear the unmistakable sound of carrot chewing, this... this may be the last thing you ever see.
