Oke im gona do a Sci fi nazgul with dragon, should be fun, im gona spend a week or so on concept. Im planning to do a fully rigged one and the actual nazgul should be relatively easy (or easier) seeing as there is no head to model.

I like the dragon concept, looks like an interesting meld of science and fantasy. I still don't really get what the thing that looks like an exploded molecular structure is but I am sure it will all become clear.
