Default Dragon wings?

So I recently learned the two balloon T-Rex, and it's a big hit. I converted it into a dragon by giving it a longer neck. Any ideas for dragon looking wings that would be simple (one or two balloons)?

Thanks!

I have always done my wings for a dragon with a 160 and just shaping them for the wings I have also played with putting ear twists one on the top of the wing and three on the bottom and just conecting it to the neck. I dont know if that helps

I usually pump a balloon to about 6 inches empty on the end. Put the ends of the balloon together(in the shape of an O), and twist so you end up with a figure 8 with a little "tail" in the middle. Use the tail to tie the wings on the back where the arms, neck, and body come together. Voila! A dragon!

Easiest way I know is to make them triangular. You have to put and ear twist at each of the three corners. It makes a pretty good looking set of wings.

I make a really cool dragon and what I do for the wings is I tie two balloons that are inflated about 8-10 inches(depending on how big I want the wings to be) together at the nozzle. Then, working with one balloon at a time, made a 3in. bubble, folllowed by a 1in. eartwist. Then I make another 3in. bubble and another eartwist(this one is optional). after that I make about 4 or 5 one inch bubble all in a row and attach the last one back to the tied nozzles. so the overall look is one of a triangle with one side being made up of lots of small bubbles. Then, Just repeat this with the other balloon, and attatch them to ur figure.

I own a book called Ultimate Balloon Book. There's a nice 3-balloon Dragon.. just like the Dragon in blue (done by a fellow twister in the other forum) ...

There's also a link on Dragon with wings on Professor Wonder's webbie Make a Balloon Animal

And here's the instruction link to a Little Cute Dragon By Sean McDaniel
Cute Little Dragon

Hope this helps

omg! I have that book and I love it! I actually made that dragon for competition at the MWCA convention (while making a few of my own modifications), and did really well. It's a really great balloon book for any level of twisting skill.

Ditto on the book. The dragon was the reason I bought it!
Cheers,
