STAGE 0
What I felt like when I was making him:
I was obviously very frustrated when I first started building my mixel and was close to stopping. Totally giving up. I had never done anything like this before where I had no guidance or even a reference to look at. I was thinking negatively and low of myself. Not when I put together his face. His face was the first thing I built and I immediately was in awe. His eyes and teeth together looked so cute and I started to be determined that I will complete him no matter what. As I built him, I did start feeling nervous if I'd be able to use all the pieces. As I built my mixel's body further, I started to grow more and more positive. The end product came just as I thought my mixel to look like. In my own mind, I did want it to have the body of a dragonfly. My main inspiration to make this creature were some ice pets from a game that I play.
My inspirations:
STAGE 1
What I felt like taking it apart:I HATED IT. I was so upset while taking it apart and kept thinking of his eyes. His eyes were so cute yet soft and he turned out way better than I expected! (Way better then how it's supposed to be) I worked hard on it, It took a long time to make it as well. I followed my gut and used my creativity to build my mixel. As I was progressing the creation of my Mixel, I was growing more positive. It was something I made with my efforts and as I have attachment issues, I get attached really easily. Although, I was happy because I'll get to build a lot all over again and make my Dragonic Fly look more how it's meant to look like. I still am very upset and to remember the last moment I held him in my hands, I obviously recorded it.

Things that were similar:
Things that weren't:
I was extremely close to the actual creature. Although, my mixel's head was larger than the body and that was quiet only the difference other the than the eyes were pointing upwards.

Final Product!
If you don't want to read it in point forms here's the paragraph! :)
My creature's name is Dragonic Fly. I gave him the name dragonic fly because he's a part dragon and part dragonfly. Dragonic fly is a mythical creature who originated from a land full of ice. He's the official highest ranked dragon guard in his kingdom. He's the son of the most loyal and high respected dragon who passed away in a war trying to save the kingdom. His father was the most loyal, unique, bravest, and strongest dragon in history. His powers are: Water tornado dive, frost breath, water wings, and wind wings. He has sharp teeth and strong wings, with a strong ice tail. His tail has unique details with shiny white and blue diamonds making a unique design representing his kingdom and personality. His tail has the one of a kind gem in the whole kingdom. Usually, this gem is locked up in the safest place, but as the king loves Dragonic Fly so much, the king decided to attach it to Dragonic Fly's tail honoring him and his father. His wings are dark black which is the result of frostbites. Yet, his wings are insanely strong with natural ice designs. His teeth are sharp and made of ice! they shine brightly in the moonlight. He's very loyal to his master and loves cuddles. He's extremely shy with new people and loves little animals such as kittens, puppies, and polar bears. In his break time, he flies over to the ice rink and likes to watch people skate at night. The king made him custom ice skates with unique designs representing his loyalty, obedience, and uniqueness. He loves to ice skate with his best friend who's a polar bear. It's Dragonic Fly's dream to become a professional ice skater and ice skate with his best friend. His favourite food to eat are ice cones and ice cream! He loves blueberry mixed with vanilla ice creams and blue ice cones. Dragonic Fly is furious when it comes to war. It looks like he's not even the same creature anymore. Everyone in the kingdom is always careful that Dragonic Fly doesn't go near onions. Dragonic Fly HATES onions. He hates it more than anything. When ever Dragonic Fly goes near onions, he immediately gets pissed off or furious. The only thing that can calm him down while he's furious about onions is yarn balls. He loves to play with yarn balls. He finds them soft, fluffy, and very playful. He loves to get on his back and just goof around with his yarn. His favourite yarn ball is the purple yarn with with weaved gold thread. Purple and gold are his favourite colours because it reminds him of his father. His father was a royal purple coloured dragon with designs made of real gold. As dragonic Fly comes from a family of the royals, every gem or design they have is from birth and each jewel represents them in some way. Dragonic Fly has an armor of unmeltable ice. One of the greatest adventures Dragonic Fly has been to is going to the kingdom of the Moon Dragons. He always had a deep connection with the moon. He talks to the moon anytime he gets the chance. The moon is also always in his favour. Mainly because Dragonic Fly looks the best in moonlight. All his diamonds and details look magnificent and have a different depth. He flew to the moon and toured the Moonshine kingdom. That memory still lives in his heart!
