It looks like it has some real merit but has some real problems too. One main problem is that it is almost all black. That makes it is really hard to see any details, which is why I didn't comment earlier. It looks to be very well articulated, but I can't really tell. The other problem was the pics. Too many and no full body shots until quite a ways down the list. I didn't even find those until now, because before I didn't feel like looking through 15 different pics just to find a full body shot. It is really hard to build a good dragon and this is a good start. I built a black dragon not to long ago and it had the same problems. MOCs that are mostly black swallow the light and you can't see any details. Sorry to be so critical, but you did ask.

Build On,
Josh

... *Starry-eyed* Wow, that's one megablock of a good-looking 3-headed dragon! Although... JoshWedin does point out some problems... Why not try to make out the dragon in Red and with the highlights of orange or dark red?

I agree! This would probably look awesome in red with some other color for highlights.

Ironic that I'm on Tiamat's dungeon right now on my copy of FF1.... Despite the "blackness" of it, I still love this thing. It's far better than any dragon I'd ever build.
