Flat-Colored Anatomy Reference Sheet for feral Western Dragons!
I did this piece in tandem with the Anatomy Ref Sheet for Dutch Angel Dragons I posted recently for the Field Guide presented at Anthrocon '16, but this is something I'd wanted to do for a long time! This is run-down of the anatomy features of common leather-winged Western dragons! (Friendly reminder, there ARE DIFFERENCES in the anatomy between feather-winged and leather-winged dragons! More on that later, folks!)
This Anatomy Ref covers the most common type of Western Dragons, those oft-featured in Medieval European manuscripts and lore. While your specific dragons and characters may have different features and proportions, this is just a basic guide that covers many of their unique features and those they often share, especially for dragons of the leather-winged variety.
Once the Dutch Angel Dragon Field Guide is up and downloadable on the official website, you'll recognize this dragon across the pages! This is to help folks compare and contrast the unique features between Westies and the specific open-yet-regulated species, Dutch Angel Dragons.
I will be posting several compare-and-contrast pages I've made for online viewing, as well as some pages displaying the differences in anatomy between feather- and leather-winged Westies - stay tuned! I'm also in the process of working on similar Anatomy Refs like this for Wyverns and Eastern Long as well!
Dragon character isn't a specific character in particular, just a tough-looking scaly guy that made a great example of the 'traditional' Western-morph. :D And also, I'd been working on so many feathers lately, scales were a fun change of pace!
(Friendly reminder that 'Western Dragon' typically refers to dragons with an anatomy of four limbs and two wings. Your own species and dragon characters may vary widely in appearance and ability than this dragon shown here! The only limit to designing your own dragons is your imagination - don't limit yourself and don't ever think that there's a 'set in stone' way or 'required features' to make a dragon character that you refer to as a 'Western Dragon,' as these dragons have been around in lore for centuries! ;D )
You may reference this guide for your own dragon characters! This was created with the intention of spreading more knowledge of the general features of this species, and to help folks!

I really love those anatomy sheets, the dutch angel version as well but is there going to be any non watermarked version around? The text cutting through the references makes is very distracting if you try to study them :(
Thanks! Unfortunately, due to frequent art theft, I will not be making unwatermarked versions of these available online.
One of these days, I need to poke ya for another ref sheet variant. ^^ Apply these 'lessons' to a 'em-biggened' Cheetah ^^
This reminds me of the cover art for the hardback version of "a natural history of dragons" by Marie Brennan. Did anyone else read that or is it just me. I can defiantly see this being a center foldout in that book
Omg, I totally found these books recent at my local library! Read the four books they had...in like a week! :D Totally agree!
Hey! I'm one of those things there ^_^ Great work, I love your art so much. If I could afford it I would love to commission you some time
Amazing work, as usual! Question, did you ever make a ref sheet for wyverns or plan to make one for local variations, such as Eastern European dragons?
Thanks! Read the description for the answer to that question.
Copy pasted from the description: 'I'm also in the process of working on similar Anatomy Refs like this for Wyverns and Eastern Long as well!'
GAH. Now another person knows how I flunked half my exams: Not reading sentences until the very end.
(in my very slight defense, I was actually referring to what's called Slavic dragon in English and a variety of other, lovely names in local languages, like żmij [zhmeey])

That's why I provided a link to the full size piece in the description. :/
