I think it's a little unreasonable for that to be the least of your expectations lol.
Creating a dragon out of particles, surprisingly, requires little (vector) math. What it does require however, is how 3D modelling works. But since you can find 3D models online, it's not that hard to work around. Export the model to an 'obj' model, then read each line that starts with 'v ', turn the 3 doubles on that line into a vector, and save it. Then loop through those vectors, add them to the center, and you got your model in minecraft.

Maybe you're right though. However particles don't blend together, and a low poly (not too low) dragon could look just fine.

(Sorry for the shitty GIF quality)
That would look a lot better too
I was referring to when it's in motion, like this move required. A lot of the shape would disappear and just turn to a blur with the speed required to make this at all interesting. That's why I was saying a most a head would be fine.
Though, the actual dragons in the cartoon are a mixture that's based of two cultures: western (serpentine body, whiskers, horns) and eastern (ability to breath fire, wings). Benders could have hypothetically take inspiration from that and thus why what Finn created isn't that far fetch from what it was possible.
I think it's more of the legs that are the issue
Well Finn, its a new ability, and I'm a new developer. So if you have suggestions that's fine, but I'm not making a giant dragon for this ability. A Small dragon, sure but I'm not a Math genius when it comes to applying it to minecraft, so honestly its gonna take a bit of time for me to learn how to create particles like that. Thank you for the feedback.
Not sure what the issue is. It might be that I stupidly uploaded the broken version of it. Give it a bit more testing on your part and pm me If you are still unsuccessful. I'm happy to help you if you need assistance.
I assume while making this, he referred to the show and this is what was in the show:
Woa dude... We weren't even dissing his move or anything...
This ^ was a bit salty, I admit, but after that it was really just creating ideas or contradicting Finn's idea of making it an actual dragon, as I've included in this post. NO ONE said that the move sucked, but rather we were elaborating an idea so: "don't listen to these shmucks" seems a little out of proportion since, IMO, any and all ideas/suggestion can be valuable and helpful. If he doesn't like the dragon idea, he doesn't have to use it. We've been elaborating on the possibilities of it. Finn even showed knowledge of the use of 3D modeling so if Emerald WANTS to use a dragon in his move, he can contact Finn. Most of these posts were about criticizing Finn's idea of an actual dragon rather than how good of a move this is. We may not have mentioned that this is a great move, but that doesn't mean we automatically think it's terrible and we should all be ignored.
That. I can do... Maybe.

PS I had to take that picture with my phone (And crop it cause secret stuff on my computer >_>) because I couldn't find ANYTHING on Google.... I even learned the benders name, Malu, and that didn't help.
