step 3 of 9
Use the white piece, duplicate and assemble layers to make the front face of the dragon (I prefer the black background)

use the green pieces to make the green head
step 5 of 9
Distort the white piece and make the mouth. The red piece is used for the eye

The green piece is extract with oval shape and assembled to make the dragon skin (make different file). Then, this file is defined as the pattern, which will be used for the body of the dragon.

The body is the new layer, use the dragon skin pattern. The horn was made by the white pieces with different sizes, then desaturate and reduce the brightness.
