#1: The original interpretation. Not my favorite. I don't dislike the wings, but I don't really like them either. Plus, due to their size, they block the view of the tail (from this angle, at the very least).
#2: The wingless version of the first incarnation. It's easier to tell, since it's unobstructed in this pic, that the tail is longer than I had originally wanted.
#3: The body was lengthened and the tail was shortened, leaving it about the same total length. A modified version of the tail is introduced, but the wings are still an issue here. I'm still not convinced I like them enough to include them.
#4: But not including them makes him look like a leafy lion more than a dragon. The tail is much closer in this version to what I originally imagined, so I asked to keep it this way.
#5: My favorite of the bunch. Though the dragonfly-style wings don't flow quite as well with the overall design as the leaf wings do, they look just generically better and don't obstruct the view of any other details since they'll be transparent. This will be the final design that will get colored :P
