Animated LED Dragon

This LED Dragon looks fantastic. If having it multi-color wasn’t enough it is even animated!

"Two white leds on the bottom will light up the Dragon. For each flame layer I reserved a single red led. After getting the proper resistor values from the LedCalc I was ready to light the design up. The lighting sequence is the same as with the Intel Inside logo. First the small flame will light up, then the middle one will fade in and after that the large one. This makes the flame seem to grow bigger and bigger. I did test lighting up the layers one at the time but the end result wasn’t that great. The next photo is taken from that test as the largest flame is the only one lit."
