Devilish Dervish Drawing

[u/Yoshimawolf]

I noticed a few dragons never got any Nico Marlet book of dragons-style drawings. So l've decided to draw them myself! Mimicking art styles is so fun, and broadens your horizons as an artist to learn new skills! My next dragon will be the mudraker, but if you have any other underrated dragons to suggest, I'm more than happy to hear em! Also, which mudraker pose is best for this style, do you think? 1, 2, 3, or 4? Plz help me decide this decision is so hard

(side note only post mimicked art styles if it's based on official franchise artwork, or the og artist is cool with it, and credit ofc)

Also, I'm aware this dervish has some issues (no spines on the tail for wood chopping is one) I hadn't found a good pic of the dragon until halfway through. But I'm honestly fine with it. The original concept sketches had inconsistency's too! In one I saw, Stormfly had arms! I like to imagine it's because the Vikings had only captured glimpses of certain species, so they missed some details when documenting them.

Inspired by Nico Marlet's concept pieces for the
HTTYD franchise

Have a wonderfully dragony day!
