Why not do it the old-school Chinese style and have a lot of people inside one giant dragon costume? :D

No friends? :shock:

In that case, you can call me a friend, and if you do a multi-person dragon in my area, I'll be the dragon's butt, sound good?

HAKKAI PLUSHIE!!!! *nosebleed*
anyways, i would think that maybe you could wear a white body suit with claws or something. You could have a wig with white spiky hair and have two horns. If you want to go to the extreme red contacts would be great.
This is an awesome idea, if you do make this, I'd love to see it! :-)
everyday i wake up, look in the mirror, and wish i hadn't woken up at all... but then i really wake up and find it was a dream... then i go back to sleep because it's 3 in the morning and i have finals tomorrow. love my life.

wings! whee!

His wings actually remind me of paper fans. You could do something interesting with papier-mache or similar... baling wire and poster-type board, or perhaps that white craft-foam sheet stuff.
no leap in logic is too extreme... for RAGE!

You can do a human version of him. Like a Dragon Half costume but of this color and character you want.

Well the head does look like a pretty cool headdress, wear wings and have like the tail connect from the back part rolling down to the ground. Wear dragom claw gloves and clawed feet slippers.

If you do the head piece right. People would know you're a dragon not a gargoyle.
"I love you, May I glomp you."
