Description
This is a dragon that I made for art class. I based the drawing on a tattoo that I saw online. The dragon contains about 700 individual pieces. For fun I have hidden many things within the dragon including:1. Counting to five in roman characters
2. Counting to five in Japanese Characters
3. A story of a couple in love
4. A shipwreck
5. A chick hatching
6. The devil
7. A runaway umbrella
..... And many more little stories and text!
Originally I wanted this picture to be a flash animation where each piece came in individually in order to form the picture. I did this with limited success because I couldn't find a computer that would compile a 700 frame animation. I still have the file with the 700 or so layers just incase I want to attempt it again. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them.

Maybe, if you do the animation, you could do it piece by piece. Like, for example, the head, then a chunk of the neck, then another chunk, then a leg, and so on and so on.

Would you mind if I got this tattoed?
Have allways loved the oriental dragon design, and the idea of hiding so many items inside the dragon is just mindblowing.
You have taken what might have been "just another dragon tattoo" and made it into an exploration.. almost like a huge "where's waldo" dragon.. (wich might also be a fun idea for a version of this).
So, again i would really like your approval to use this design for my very first tattoo.
