Yeah, if you notice in that pic, the hinge of the jaw is back behind the eyes.

You should understand the dragon's head is a classic design,,, unless you are going oriental, then it would be different. And mikes right about the jaw,,, it should start further back.

i dont know what plans you have for the mouth... but maybe you should give him a long slimy snake tongue are something!!its just a tip

i agree with Sharp about the spikes above the upper jaw!! they are looking flat!! maybe make them a little bit thicker

anyhow, keep on going!!

maybe you should delete the polygons under the eye and delete the polygons that makes the corner of the mouth!!
then you can create a longer mouth at the place you deleted the polygons!!

sorry... im bad in explaining things!!

yea very nice mayb you should put it up a bit closer to the eye and not open the jaw completely up to the very edge of the opening. try haveing the under the eye section closed off.

also is it going to have teeth? mayb you should try some simple test teeth in the jaw to get position correct, im finding it difficult to emagine it with teeth.

quick teeth test as sharp suggested these are not the final teeth just testing how they sit

Just as a thought - and this will be a lot more work, but it might look better if the teeth were coming out of the gums rather than being part of the muzzle themselves. Either way, I like the overall head design

i think its a lot better with teeth ( even he just have only 2 now at the moment )!! now add 40 more and it will look great!!!
the only thing thats still bothering me are those flatten things above his head!!! i really think you should make tham thicker!!
