Day 05 - Dragon
Dragon - "a mythical monster like a giant reptile. In European tradition the dragon is typically fire-breathing and tends to symbolize chaos or evil, whereas in East Asia it is usually a beneficent symbol of fertility, associated with water and the heavens."

Decided to go for a animated render today! (regrets are off the charts right now). Maya decided not to work and crash on me every time I opened the rig! So had to restart quite a few times! End of the day, It's all done now!

As for the working of the sword, The blade folds into a small utility tool that can be attached to the wielder's waist belt. When it is needed, at a push of a button, the wings would flip open and become a sharp blade that can cause deep lacerations on the enemy! The hilt extends a bit as well for the wielder to use the sword as a two handed weapon. Since the blade itself is made of a young dragon's wings, it can be quite heavy even for the strongest of men!
