"Hmm..." R'dal took a few steps back from the ball-egg-potential-dragon and studied it. How would they turn it into a very fat dragon? He wasn't that great at drawing and now he was expected to think in a lot more dimensions that a flat piece of paper. Part of the problem was thinking of everything in the form of balls. He knew how to make those so that was how everything should be made. But the tail and neck wouldn't work like that. Maybe just packing snow in long lines would work. It was how he gathered snow to start his ball, so it seemed reasonable to just do that for the less than round portions of a dragon. The wings would be a problem but they could just use their imaginations and pretend she had them extended or tucked away. He solved his mystery for the tail and neck, but wings were getting to be a bit too elaborate for him.
"Let's do it! We can make her tail and head curve in so it's like they're protecting her clutch. You work on the head and don't forget the knobs! Do them like Halomirth's; hers are cute." With his usual bright smile back in place, R'dal gave F'drel a hug for being so smart and then bounced off to claim his side for the tail. He crouched down and started drawing snow in to build up the part that would connect to the round body. He was going to need a lot to make it look somewhat realistic! F'drel was going to have the same issue with the neck and R'dal didn't want to make him work more than he had to because he agreed to play with him. So he jumped up and moved a few feet away to start gathering up armfuls of snow for his tail, leaving the easier accessed snow for the neck.
As his tail started to grow and curve the way he wanted it to, R'dal plopped down, not worried about getting a cold bum since he was actually a bit overheated. He was supposed to be sculpting the end of the tail but was watching F'drel's progress more, enthralled with the way he worked and perhaps even holding his breath a bit in anticipation for the head knobs and what the final masterpiece would look like overall.
