On December 31st I made a Toothless (the dragon from the 'How to train your dragon' films)
You can see it here - //http://www.mydailyballoon.com/31st-december-toothless-the-dragon/

I was fairly pleased with this design apart from the fact its fairly big and not exactly quick to make. Ever since then I have been inundated with people asking me how I made it, I get at least 1 request a week asking me for a tutorial, I doubt I would ever do a tutorial for this big design so I decided to try and make a mini version and today I think I came up with a do-able design. The head is a bit complicated but not too difficult.

Its made from 6 balloons, actually I used 5 balloons and then 3 bits of scrap for the eyes, tail and tongue. The head is made from 2 black 160s (plus the eyes and tongue) and the body is a black 260 and a black 160 (plus the red bit).

Toothless is a winged dragon but he usually keeps them tucked away while sitting however I will do a winged version too.

What do you think?

We all have our cross to bear, but some of us need more wood than others!

Ok,  so I had a go. Am certain that it is not as well constructed as Robs and was disappointed when my wife and children did not instantly recognise him. Perhaps I will add wings.
Thanks for the inspiration Rob. I like him  :D

Now with the wings added.  I do think he looks better for it. Thanks again Rob for the inspiration and template

Love the design, could evolve into a Gargoyle (don't know if that's how to spell it)

Here's a rendition of my own. After seeing the first film I HAD to give him a shot. One wings up, one wings down.
