Borrow from Nature

When designing my dragons, I take as much as I can from real life. I study the skull shape of an animal such as a bear, lion or eel, and combine that with the teeth of an alligator or the beak of a snapping turtle. I also look to crocodiles, tortoises, snakes and other reptiles for scale patterns and colours. Anything in nature that looks interesting and inspires me is fair game. Many of my dragons are a handful of real-life animals combined to create something new.
