“ Heroes get remember, but Legends never die “
My final pour for USLAC 2024 under the concept “ Year of the Dragon “ 🐉🤍🐉🤍
I have been thinking about how to present the dragon design in the different way and what could be the best concept for these dragons. So, I called it classic Asian dragon (for side view), European dragon (for full body) and finally, my favorite dragon (for Shenron face) to make presentation more enjoyable. I’d say this could be my best performance so far on the LAC stage, but unfortunately just from a little mistake I got 2nd place this year. Huge congrats to
@joeyangpdx (2023 USBrC and 2nd 2023 USLAC) got 1st place this year and represent US in Copenhagen.

@baristartist helping me developing this Shenron design. I really really happy with this design. And it’s fist time in my life got 6/6 on overall impression (the highest multiply category in the score sheet) also helping fine tune the European dragon and it turn out to be a lot of ppl favorite design.
Thank you team
