Let’s roll

like... what the fuck is this

for contrast, here are some actual dragons, from Thai mythology, which is clearly the inspo for her design, except they’re infinitely cooler

i hate that she’s furry, and has EYEBROWS, and eyelashes and liner? i understand modifying a creature’s design for the sake of animated emotional clarity, but this is weak creature design. this is a human face superimposed on a mythological creature. even worse, it’s disney’s favorite face— with giant eyes, pencil brows, and a button nose, on a dragon.

you can create animated creatures that still look animalistic. the dragons from httyd do this extremely well; they clearly show emotions, but are still obviously, and delightfully, dragons.

they’re covered in scales, have prominent snouts, and reptillian eyes. these are dragons! and they look the part!

There’s plenty of ways to make a cute princess fairy dragon and honestly I think it’s fine that she has fur but she looks like she has no bones!!! There’s no definition around her head to indicate ears or skeletal structure, it’s just a face in fluff. She looks more like a room guardian than a fully fleshed out dragon

Looking at Raya I love the earthy tones and grounded look she has, she’s got more realistic proportions and the stylization is pretty dead on as far as I’m concerned, and there’s smaller intricate details

Then you see this cotton candy fluff ball with a muppet cartoony face and Pom Pom paws and it’s like??? It looks like a dragon from Frozen and the girl looks like she’s from a more realistic world like Mulan. Mulan had a cartoony dragon but he fit the style of the movie! He wasn’t a bright purple fuzz ball he was styled like a tiny Chinese dragon

Are you from another dimension? Like a parallel universe where things are like this universe but different? And you’re Spider-Man in that universe? But somehow traveled to this universe, but you don’t know how?
