Original painting:

Xehanort: I wanted a classic European-styled dragon, that looked very much like a bad-guy... because... he is. He's got a long neck, curved horns and a dark colour scheme with spikes all over.

Vor: For Vor, I wanted her to be short, stubby, very cute, very round; kind of like gecko with fluff and wings. I had to draw her twice, because her first iteration, just didn't look right. I also wanted to keep her colours very bright and playful.

Bragi: I knew immediately that Bragi was going to have a bird-like appearance. I associate Bragi with birds of prey (because his irl counterpart is, I guess). This resulted in what almost became a gryphon. which... I mean; kind of his style, I suppose. At first I just gave him a pygostyle, but after it looked too bird-like, I decided to give him a longer tail, instead.

Urd: I didn't know what to do with her, at first, but decided to give her a kind of odd goblin/falkor kind of look, and it worked, as her pigtails are very droopy. the pop of yellow on the wing really helped, too.

Hermod: I'm going to be real, I did start to burn out at Hermod, as he was the last dragon I drew. I wanted something fast and speedy due to the myth he's associated with, and so he's got his long, slender and swift-looking body and strong limbs.

Eraqus: I made an Eraqus dragon on Flight Rising (I have a few of these and intend to collect more), so it was hard to divert from that, haha. I also wanted something completely opposite to Xehanort, which is why Eraqus is all feathers, soft and bright. This opposition is also why Eraqus is facing away. He does have limbs- they're just hidden away by his wings.

Where's Baldr? I honestly think he's look very similar to Hodor.
