In the mystical realm of Thyndros, the Wizard of Light and the Wizard of Dark were once brothers, bound by blood and magic. Their harmony shattered when the Wizard of Dark, seduced by the whispers of an ancient evil, sought to harness forbidden spells to dominate the world. The Wizard of Light, devoted to preserving peace, opposed his brother's dark ambitions. This clash of ideals sparked a war that tore the land apart. The black dragon, Valkhoros, was summoned by the Wizard of Dark from the depths of the Abyss. With eyes that glowed like molten lava and wings that blotted out the sun, Valkhoros became the harbinger of doom, spreading fear and destruction in the name of his dark master.

Hello,


the dragon is back! A few improvements have been made from the previous series, such as a modified tree with a bit more of a fantasy feel and a more fitting colour scheme, and the underside of the wings have been given a red support to make the dragon a bit more interesting. You can support it in the Bricklink Designer Program Series 7 by voting and commenting:

My love for the dark creatures of fantasy movies inspired me to design a black dragon to Bricklink Designer Program Series. It is not actually based on an existing character, I studied some cool AI generated pictures and some cool dragon head builds, but I built something brand new. My intent was to create a poseable animal instead of a static statue and added a small tower and two wizards to the set for more playability options. The Wizard of Light has a staff and a crystal ball. The rear of the tower is removable to make the interior space accessible, and the door works as well.


I prefer the brick built solutions to keep the flexibility of the used parts in further builds, and therefore only two stickes are used for the dragon eyes and they are based on the printed part 98138pb386 which is not available in this series.


Dimensions of the dragon (as it is shown on the main picture):
Width: 71.0 studs / 22.4 in / 56.8 cm
Length: 67.5 studs / 21.3 in / 54.0 cm
Height: 44.8 studs / 14.1 in / 35.8 cm


Some rotation joints can only be stable in certain positions, for example the tail end must rest on the ground.


I hope you enjoy this set. Many thanks for your support and feedback!

Fantastic!  In my opinion, you did two of the hardest things right: got proportion down, and made the dragon head look good.  Even some of the brick built dragons Lego offers fail on one or the other of these points.  Nice work!
