Linda, If I'm not mistaken that's a modern coloring page of a "Welsh dragon".

What we can learn from this though, is that this "shape" of dragon was found all around the place and still is today. We'll really need a match of shape and stylistics. And since shape is so easy to find, even in non-dragon animals, stylistics becomes the more important factor. That's why I like Wladimir's example a lot.

It is similar, but most Welsh dragons have 4 legs, and are usually red, no? we appear to be dealing with one that has two legs and a tail-appendage making 3 limbs plus wings. That would make it a Wyvern, Lindworm, or Vibria perhaps?

Terni

I especially like that last one with the tail that resembles the feet (although they all have some aspect of that), and the dragon mane Smile
