Description Design and drawing by: Marianne K.S. Paulsen 2017  

This is a dragon I designed for artfreakschallenge on instagram. The prompt was, simply, "Dragon".
I really wanted to create a dragon that was based on ancient creatures, since dragons are often ancient beings themselves in stories.
Therefore I chose to use the features of sharks   and crocodiles  when designing this look.
I should probably have used references for this, but I like using the images I have in my mind and see if I can get a likeness from that.
It is a challenge, and I find out what creatures/objects/poses etc. I need to look at more to embed them fully in my "mind library".
I really hope you like this design, I am quite happy with it if I'm honest
This dragon lives in water, and in space. It eats whatever it comes across.

Thank you! I wanted it to be streamlined and sleek, because I gave it shark skin with a weak crocodile skin underlay.
The outerskin is shark-skin and if you pierce that you get dragon-scales/crocodile-scales that you cannot pierce

But, but...what if the scales start to itch?

Then you'd better hope that frustrated dragon is nowhere near your planet.
It'll probably trash about bumping into everything in its path to scratch that itch !!! Or...maybe it can feel everything, like,
he can scratch his itches and feel every stab even though it can't penetrate his scales and do any actual damage

I hope any frustrated dragons will have a healthy distance between me and them

Hahaha, well at least teach it to clean up after itself. Planet debris is said to be almost as bad as LEGOs...
