RYZARR THE DRAGON

This is another request from my customer that has placed more than 80 orders and has spent more than $4,600 in plush from me.  This is one of his original creations that he sent me drawing from several angles.  It has been fun and making these for me.  Some have been particularly challenging.  Fortunately, Ryzarr the Dragon was much easier because of the other dragons that I have made in the past.
