Contest $35 Vector Dragon Art Contest (48 Hours)

I am wanting a unique golden dragon design. We are using the design for a tongue depressor (see image below), so the dragon needs to be somewhat linear.

Most importantly is that the dragon needs to look like a Chinese dragon. Here are some dragons I like.
Dragon 1
Dragon 2
Dragon 3
Dragon 4
Dragon 5

The dragon needs to fit within 450 x 112.5 pixels. It is going on a tongue depressor.


The edges of the design need to be rounded so as to take into account the tongue depressor.

The winner will need to provide a vector file of their design.

All questions and submissions must be submitted through the thread. I will not take any designs or questions through private message.

The contest is for 48 hours or until a clear winner is decided. Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

what color do you require it to be?

 

@CGdesigns: Mainly gold, but I am okay with other colors as well.

 

@rxzor: How is your design different from these designs: bit.ly/1awyjoi

 

Yes here is rxzor entry

Third one from this

i dont think rxzor copied the design as he is a senior designer here but ur design is too different and difficult so might he had to copy this one

 

my try

 

@Animan: Thank you for your submission. Since the dragon is going on a flat piece of wood that is 6 inch by 1 1/2 inch (15.24 x 3.81 centimeters) I need the dragon to be long and slender. Also, I would like the dragon to have much more gold in the design.

@pehulz: Thank you for showing your design on the dimensions it will be printed on, it really helps. Yet, I need the design to take up most of the available space.

 

@Animan: How is your design (other than the color) different from these designs: bit.ly/1bFKBHI

 

Here is a design I really like (bit.ly/17uJHQp). It is obviously not the right shape, but I like how the gold and design was done.

 

I would like to participate in this contest, but creating of dragon take more than 48 hours. GL all original designers!

 

@DenisaFrisk: You are welcome to share a concept design (something not completely finished), and if I like it I will award you as the winner and give you time to finish up the design. I just need to see that your design is what I am looking for. Also, can you tell me what GL is?

 

Sorry for that, I thought Good Luck I won't probably on-line on the weekend, but I'll think about it and try and create something.

 

Hi,
Thank you for your feedbacks
Here's the revisions. everything is 100% original and vector based

 

@DenisaFrisk: Oh, good to know. I would love to see what you can design, but I understand wanting to enjoy your weekend Ü. If you change your mind let me know.

 

@pehulz: Thank you for updating your design. Can you change the middle part of the dragon to not loop, but rather maybe have it go up and down (like a hill or an "n").

 

I will also enter the contest with a design in the next hours. Thank you

 

Ok, here's the revisions
