Higher Quality .mp4 and Render Details

Rendered in Blender 2.79's Cycles. All of the materials are just simple Principled Shades except for the stained glass, which are a mix of the Glass, Translucent, and Emission Shaders. A simple vignette was added afterwards. Render time: ~4 hours for 64 frames.
Creation Process
  100% completed in Minecraft on the Builder's Refuge Server, using WorldEdit, VoxelSniper, and GoPaint. Blender was not used this time until rendering renders, after the fact.

  I started with a smaller version of the spine using a ball brush, which I smoothed up and scaled up by 200%. Then I shaped the arms and legs, as well as the frame for the wings, and hand-sculpted the claws, and scaled everything up by 200% again. I was originally planning to build slightly smaller than the Aquatic Dragon I built last month, but the dragon still manages to be around 200 blocks tall. At this time, I smoothed everything out again, and began using a spline brush to form the wing membrane.
  I colored the dragon in a similar method as the Aquatic Dragon, with a gradient of red this time. I separated the head and rotated it on the y-axis, for symmetry purposes and detailed the shapes of the head and eyes. Finally, I used multiple spike brushes for the fur.

  Overall, I am very please with how this build turned out. I am especially pleased with the eyes, which follow the viewer as they approach from the left or right. From the right it holds a suspicious glare, lining up with the fact it holds its arm protectively around the basket, while the left can be interpreted as bored or stern.

Nice, but I think it s not an aircraft. If it was a mechanic dragon I think it could be an aircraft or maybe just with artificial wings ans turbine ^^

I personally wanted it to be an organic, due to the high amount of regular aircraft. The basis of the basket and dragon is simply an airborne vehicle of a dragon mount combined with the basket of a hot air balloon (I know that it might not be very clear right now but I hope I can later clarify in the lore). Thanks for your response!
