Very well done and cute character!
Only modeling, or sculpting too?

Thank you YAFU. No sculpting.

Very cool, Lurifax!
Are you going to rig it?

Thank you man.
K1T I still got fireflies when I render with samples 2900. I maybe rig him up with Shape Keys without bones. Like this.

Have you tried setting clamp to 0.90-0.95 in cycles?
Try Static BHV and set the tile size to 16x16 if you're using CPU, for GPU 256x256.
Also 2900 samples is a bit too much, don't you think. I mean, I'm pretty sure there would be no difference between 1000 and 2900 runs.
If fireflies still there they can be dealt with in Blender compositor editor (denoise) or in gimp.

You're welcome and hope this helps!

Your model looks so perfectly cut-clean, so I suppose you did not sculpt (maybe the right decision, cuz sculpting sucks in Blender, even with
dynamic topology tool) That leads me to a conclusion that you used subsurf modifier a lot to smooth out the shapes. Just wonder how many vertices and
polygons are there. If there is a lot of them in your model, that could be the problem. You know that Blender Cycles chokes on hi-poly rendering.
I mean it does the job but sometimes you get too many artifacts.
If all that I said is the case try to poly-reduce without losing the shape. Or maybe shape keys will help here too.

K1T Perfect. Thank you.
No I dont use to work with sculpting tool, I try little bit, but I prefer to work on stuff I am us to.
I dont know how many vertices there is on my dragon. I always remove doubles. Here is a images on the wire.

In Cycle Render I need to use Experimental instead of Supported. My iMac run on CPU (Only)
Sampling:1000. Clamp 90
Light Path: Direct Light
Tiles 16x16
Materials: Green Carpaint. Brown Welvet Sigma 800. Eye Glossy Blue. Mouth Rosa Diffuse. Maybe I need tro add some glossy inside the mouth. Teeth With Glossy
For the first time I dont use any emitted plans for lamp. I use normal lamps. All 5 Area.
Rendering time: 20 minutes, thats OK.
