Dragons are - and always will be my favourite mythological monster, and it's one monster that I can happily draw at will. Seeing as Dragons are such a popular monster, esp now with the growth and improvement of technology, I decided that the dragons should make an appearance in my book.
Unlike the rest of the monsters, I didn't base this creature on any real life creature, instead I went straight on to create a dragon from scratch, the book working with dragons helped me massively by giving me idea's on what certain features I should add/remove, such as the arms.
Above are two page spread examples of the dragons input in my book, the experiments were needed to see which versions would work, and in my eyes I find that the second example works better, the text looks cleaner and smarter, and the name of the creature on top of the text works so much better then having the name with the image, in a sense I have based my page layouts very much like No Brow: Bestiary, which I find that layout works well with the tea stained background as well.
