Dragon designs #1

after looking in to a lot of different dragons and the jabberwocky. this give me the start i needed to draw the dragon from the story of the iron giant i started by drawing and mapping out some dragon design like the way i done the iron giant.

the jabberwocky dragon research  

Tenniel's illustration, the Jabberwock is a large winged chimera with the body of a dragon, a whiskered, fish-like head, insectile antennae and a pair of talon-like hands on both its arms and its wings, which may also serve as forelegs when it walked on the ground. It presumably lived within a dark forest until it was slain by an unnamed hero wielding a vorpal blade.

While the Jabberwock does not appear in the classic animated 1951 Disney movie, he was planned to, voiced by Stan Freburg. The scene was axed fairly late in the game. An illustration of his intended appearance does appear in a Little Golden Books storybook with record. His role seemed fairly non-antagonistic. He would have had eyes that burned, a stovepipe-like nose, orange hair and a third hand on the end of his tail. The Cheshire Cat recites the classic poem when he first appears.

Dodgson made up the poem long before he published it in "Through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there". The first verse was also made up years before the rest of the poem. 
The first stanza of the poem originally appeared in a 1855 edition of Mischmasch, a periodical that Carroll wrote and illustrated himself as a boy, for the amusement of his family. Carroll called it "Stanza of Anglo-Saxon Poetry". The meaning of the words was a little different from those in "Through the Looking Glass":
