kinda fun to play with inspiration when coming up with dragon designs. the Golden Smacklejaw was mostly inspired by the Prehistoric Dragon and a T Rex, with the brain levels of a crow

the Mighty Green was more inspired by the Dawdler, the Red Death, Giganotosaurus and Styracosaurus

throwback to a time when I did this same technique with a concept for Mapinguiari's design in #theWitchandtheDragon and how good it felt to just .. get it out there

I really should've learned my lesson 3 years ago

ah hell yeah, this should've been the one in the movie, that head shape is way more satisfying to look at . o .

wise words to live by, kids
