Description


Did this for the January winner of my Creature Illustration Lottery over on my Patreon.  Had a ton of fun with this one, I love all things crocodilian.  I also created a video tutorial from this painting.  It comes with a bunch of stuff including a psd, brushes, jpegs, and not to mention a 1hr 41min 1080p video.  Plus its only three bucks.  You can check it over here gumroad.com/l/aTNa

Wait, is this a dragon or just a crocodilian with wings?

You are a fantastic artist. But this is not one of your best works. It's basically just a Kaprosuchus with wings and horns. I'm just saying.

If you read the description I didn't design the creature.  Plus there's absolutely nothing wrong with crocodilians with wings for dragons, thats pretty cool in my book.

Its really amazing its just I see logic problems. I know first off its not really meant to be seen as a logical creature since it has wings..XD but the body..Its the body of a crocodile. Crocodiles are bulky, sturdy creatures and to put wings on it...? Idk to me i imagine it trying to take off then plummeting to the ground with the tail since a crocodiles tail is used to push itself through the water therefor is VERY muscular and heavy XD but I have no place to say and don't take this offensively please its just my opinion

arvalis In reply to FallenSkys345 [2015-08-07 04:38:00 +0000 UTC]

To your point, there's no reason the dragon couldnt be semi aquatic and have use for a meaty tail.

FallenSkys345 In reply to arvalis [2015-08-07 15:50:54 +0000 UTC]

But it has wings. I didn't say is wasn't semi-aquatic I said that it probably wouldn't be able to fly with its bulky tail

thecatsaid In reply to FallenSkys345 [2015-09-21 09:17:08 +0000 UTC]

maybe it has very strong wings to even it out?

Of course! I was talking only about the composition. It goes without saying that your painting and generally your technique is superior to the other. After all I admire your talent, and this is why I +watch you.

Pterosaur-Freak [2015-03-22 06:32:02 +0000 UTC]

Did you base this off Kaprosuchus? I can practically feel the Mahajangasuchid vibes emanating off it. Amazing job on the squamation, the scales on the wing membranes are particularly awesome-looking.
