Dragon Designs

I ended up having a lot more fun with these than I'd expected! Some are obviously more draconic than others, but I think it's okay to expand the description to "creatures" instead of just "dragons" now. I ditched a couple of silhouettes entirely, and for some others I just drew their heads because I liked them but not the rest of the body so much. Surprisingly, the one that seemed to have the most character originally (the worried-looking middle one with the spindly neck) seems to have become the most generic of them now. Maybe because I drew him first.

These were fun and refreshing to do, and they've been useful in rethinking my idea of what a dragon can look like. I don't know how likely they are to show up in my final film pitch but I'll definitely be submitting them as part of my process work.

Dragon Silhouettes

In an effort to break out of my narrow-minded box and get some interesting body shapes in my dragons, I took a look at art from How to Train Your Dragon and decided to try something more cartoony. Some of these work better than others, but it's always good to get the ones that don't work out of your system anyway. I'll be taking my favourites and refining the designs and seeing if that helps give them more personality, since these were meant to help character design.
