Swamp/Forest Dragon 1

Sketches

 

The first theme I’ve chosen to go with in designing a dragon revolves around jungle/swamps. A drake that would make its home in or around wood and trees. I had a few ideas surround the narrative aspects for the character, such as how he hates dragon-fire, thus his choice to live amongst forests.

I looked at animals like crocodiles, warthogs etc. to start with and began drawing from there. Aspects like the wide grey eyes and scaly hands I quite licked, so for a while they became the focus going forward.
