You didn't want to go with any structure in a dragonfoot that could grasp branches like birds do? OK, thick tree limbs and steel girders, same idea...

Pretty much >.=.< I just want it to look big enough to support the weight. There's really no need for my dragon design to be able to hold things with their feet, since they have hands.

Huge wings unfurled is a face plant even in a slight wind, but I guess at a mature age you learn to open and jump in perfect synch.

It actually goes jump first, then open and flap in one motion. That's the only way to clear buildings and other things on the ground. >.=.<

Damn, for something that's hella massive, you can jump like Superman. Well, maybe once a skyscraper doesn't come up to your ankle, that's not so impressive, but you're not THAT ginormous yet, I don't think... But if it were a goal for you and I had a way to help, you know I'd contribute! You flexing a biceps taller than a space needle, that'd be cool

Well, can't quite jump that high, high enough to clear houses or small apartment buildings though. >.=.> In tight downtown areas it's pretty much stay on the ground or find somewhere big enough to get a good leap in.

I'm soon to have a couple sizes lo choose from, Jekyll and Hyde fashion, as soon as I stabilize. One will be definitely more to your scale or even bigger! Once you leave the scale of humanoids, the world doesn't fit too well, furnishings, vehicles, abodes, loos and so forth. If you don't have to eat or excrete while massive that surely saves a lot of bother, but it leaves for problems of recreation, shelter and sleep.

So does choosing size still closer to the ground help with comforts and relating to those underfoot? Or do you find an allure to even a mile-high stature yourself?

If you think your growth has stopped, I think my venom can restart it. Height especially.

Razor's size comes from a desire to be around the height dragons are generally represented in fantasy. Because I designed the character before I started to use him to represent me his height was decided based on that alone. Now that Razor is basically the online me I just can't bring myself to change the size, or I would have actually gone for something in the 12ft range.

There is a bit of a draw though, to being a big bronze dragon that stands 15ft to the shoulders on all fours, or 33ft upright. Not so much for being bigger than others, but for the physical power that allows while still being within believable limits. (Though it's gone a fair bit beyond believable for most now.)

You have to choose how much physicality a definitively fantastic creature like a dragon (it's on the tip of everybody's tongue, right up there with unicorms) has to be, versus things that because of the sheer fantastic nature of the beast, breaks rules of physics because of a thing known as magic, which is why they can fly despite aerodynamic laws forbidding it, breathing fire that can melt stone despite most thermodynamic and chemical laws forbidding it without hurting them as well. Some unicorns even fly, and can tell a virgin well out of smelling range.

What I'm getting at is, don't think for a second that making your avatar every bit the way you're going to feel the most passionately into him color the way people think or respond to him. It will only bond you closer to people who will share the more intimately close connections with you, instead of some facade you created out of reason and logic that isn't really you.

Unktehila continues to become more huge and dangerous and less able to have partners in the humanoid size and form factor. I will still treat people friendly; I simply will not engage in intimate RP except where the pairings are physically correct for how I've redefined him. It reduces these pairings, and that in my estimation is just fine. I'd rather have a much smaller playing field in that regard.

I'm manic about size and strength, so I apologize about being pushy. It is your character, and I hear your design choices based on how it is that fantasy has described dragons. Yet, some does describe dragons as occasionally being mistaken for hillocks or mountains, only to awake. The great dragon Smaug sounds somewhere at or above your size as well. Only fellows like Draco in Dragonheart seem to have your proportion or less. Vermithrax Pejoritive in Dragonslayer - wasn't he so huge a human fit inside one of his claws?

This fuels my theory that dragons, like the dinosaurs of old, have such a range of size, it's really a matter of their available diet and exercise. I think a well-educated dragon such as yourself, endowed with genetic heritage to grow quite impressively muscled, can at will, with enough protein and exercise, become indeed whatever massive, majestic titan he wishes to become.

The question therefore is: what reflection truly makes you proud of your body's potential size and beauty? Would being able to curl about a town or city as protector fit your picture? Would growing to an interstellar traveler suit you better, whose golden scales become a second sun when visiting planets? Would you rather tower twenty stories high, able to mete justice on wicked humanoids should they deserve your wrath? Or stay down to earth, bulky and muscled, yet adbired and loved by what few you can encounter?

It's really the dragon that creates the fantasy, not so much the other way around. Fantasy is always about its characters, and as EE Knight has shown us in his series of Dragon Champion books, a dragon can be quite an amazing character - even if scaleless and scrawny.

That was a whole lot more of a response than I expected >.=.<

Honestly, I'm very satisfied with the size Razor is now, I don't ever have a moment where I think he could be taller. I did before, when I was working on him as a story character, and that's how he actually got to 33ft tall. I started much smaller, but over time I kept pushing up the height as I re-worked his size and build. I want him to be able to fit inside certain structures, like a warehouse (he can fit in one like my work) or hangar, so I've settled on the size he is now.

I really can't see him being any taller, but he is supposed to be at the limits in terms of build, as I've said before I just couldn't draw him that way myself, I lacked the skill. When these are done I may still not be able to get him up to the build I want, but we'll see about that when I get there. >.=.<

Consider having size-change magic. FYIAD, if you know the acronym. It's getting to the point where I believe I need a Jekyll-and-Hyde persona, one for macro/monster, and one for the somewhat increasingly buff and somewhat more statuesque "regular" me.

But I enjoy our conversations. I like knowing about maximized strength without continued growth. You're very cool.
