My Lightfury Journey: The first moment I saw this Sunset Dragon design, I was enthralled. I loved the idea of this beautiful creature being captured in such an interesting way. When I started planning out my interpretation of this design, I decided that I wanted a little bit more color and flow in how this was constructed. I thought about the traditional western dragon designs and loved the idea of giving her a scaled stomach, to give a contrasting color as well as an extra layer of shine. I decided to add flow to the skirt, shirt, and hood in my fabric choices, and added rhinestones EVERYWHERE! I found a lovely pink wig to go with this design, but it just didn’t have enough dimension for my use, I added wefts of white hair throughout to give the hair the look of highlights. My version of this design is in seduction mode, she hasn’t snagged her Toothless yet, but it’s only a matter of time
