However, if this is styled from Haku, the head size makes sense. Japanese dragons are slightly different in a few aspects to Chinese dragons, and Hayao Miyazaki is not Chinese, he is Japanese, hence his dragon's head could be smaller and more fitting the proportions of the snake-like form (as Japanese dragons are generally more serpentine than Chinese)....or so I've seen in some areas.
Also, Haku's head specifically was quite small when compared to the bulk of his body, so there's no issue if this was modeled from his example, unless we are calling Miyazaki-san wrong. ^^

Personally, I very much like this. The head is thick enough in my opinion, having the sort of mane one comes to expect from Eastern dragon designs. Also, the feet are nicely done, and VERY well detailed. If nothing else, I'd like to simply stare at them for a good long while! The teeth are also nicely done, small details but seen and appreciated in the whole. His hind feet where they tuck back is really well done, angled nicely and clear in what it is supposed to be.

I think this is great
