Yes, it's packed with SNOT. However, the body is going to change significantly too, so I can't say what the final product will look like. Personally, I'm not a big fan of the purple color. I had to make him purple though to be accurate to the super metroid source material :P  To be honest my favorite Dragon as a project and as a model is definately the Dragon King. The design came very nicely together for him. I also prefer creating original non-licensed ideas over licensed ones. I made an exception for Metroid though since it is my favorite video game franchises.
