#bird dragon

Finished commission that was originally just a head shot but I loved the character design so much I wanted to do more of it haha

Feathery dragon. Based loosely around a trumpeter swan

I have drawn myself a couple of little dragons as part of an open ended art challenge I am attempting to do on discord. It is for a server called The March Hotel. The challenge is very simple you just have to draw and post something that takes you more than 10 minutes every day. If you don't, you are disqualified and booted from the server.

The first design I did today as I had half a day off work and not a lot of housework to get done. It is based on a Java green peacock. I'm not sure quite why but when I was doodling out the design it ended up looking quite like a antelope in its general demeanor so I'm now imagining something about the size of a small deer skittering its way through the undergrowth of some tropical rainforest eating plants and small creatures.

The second design I did on the first of march as soon as I saw the art challenge. It is based on a carnivorous picture plant that I photographed at Kew Gardens a few years ago.

Winged (and non winged) beasts
