Druddigon

Description

I like druddigon well enough (colour pattern is very striking!), so I thought I'd attempt a more "realistic" one. I don't draw reptile-looking critters very often - my dragons are usually more mammalian... it was a fun challenge.

For the wings, I think druddigon's wings look very undeveloped, I could have gone down the route of classic dragon wings but honestly, with the rest of it being so big and heavy I don't think the viewer would have bought the idea of this being a dragon capable of flight... Instead I imagine them to be used similar to a stegosaurus' plates or an African elephant's ears - to keep the body temperature stable, to intimidate foes, attract mates etc. I imagine druddigon can move them around a bit and possibly flap them etc, but in this version they are not used for flight.

Love the way you designed the wings! Very close to the original shape, but much more believable. Awesome design!
