There's a Halloween costume in Team Fortress 2 for the Pyro that makes him look like a dinosaur, or a dragon, or a mini-Godzilla or something like that, I dunno, man, I just work here. Anyway, it's cute as heck, so I decided to draw Splotch in a cheap dragon costume. I mean, look how cheap it is; it doesn't even have those cheek fan things that I have no idea what they're supposed to be. (Truth be told, they looked weird so I erased them.)
Other inspiration credit goes to cuteosphere for her awesome dragon pictures. (I shamelessly stole the lighter-colored spots thing from this piece. I think they're supposed to represent scales or something.)
