You may not know this, but there's two types of dragons.

  • The European Dragon is the most common dragon. They're the ones you find on Disney movies, or the one on Shrek . They're big and very strong, and usually evil.
  • The Chinese Dragon is a more rare type to see. They're long and snake-like with small extremities. Usually they're involved with magic and good luck.

On this instructable I will show you the basics for both types

Go to your profile and hit the button beneath where your profile image WOULD be called "Change Profile Image". Then you can upload a picture from your save pictures and make it your profile image.
