my first *real* ascii art- a dragon

I would like to share with everyone my first real attempt at ascii art.
I'm really excited to hear what you have to say. This is an original
(and is mine until someone takes off my credits). Enjoy!
{I realized after pasting, that it is longer than 80- you will have to
copy/paste and hopefully cyberspace won't garble it all up.}

~you can't hurt your eyesight by looking on the bright side~
~but you can hurt them by looking at bad ascii art!~
I clipped his wings and is now under 80- any suggestions on how to fill in
the wings?
