So for my birthday back in Feb, my lovely girlfriend designed me a DRAGON CHARACTER, my first official dragon <33 I've always wanted to make a dragon OC but I was never confident at designing them, sadly. So luckily, Coco took all that guesswork out of it, for me XD This is Nemo! A reef dragon who lives around an archipelago, spending his days lazily collecting shinies and trinkets and shells. He's not much of a flier, choosing instead to swim around. If he does fly, it's moreso just light gliding rather than anything long-distance. He's happy on his island chain, living distantly from the rest of his social group, making friends and bargains with mermaids and naiads, exchanging deep-sea treasures with the island inhabitants.

It was a good chance to study dragon anatomy, styles, and how they make facial expressions. I wasn't too happy with how the full-drawn images came out, but was pretty happy with all the top-left expressions!

Coco's original design, which she based on my favorite seashell, an abelone:

Nemo (C) Zerna
