So, I decided to make a dragon character, because I was doodling around and liked the headshot I drew. I developed it from the head in the top left (hence some differences in the smaller veiw). I took inspiration from crocodilians, kingfishers, baryonyx and small wild cats like the margay and ocelot. I picture her as living in costal, river delta areas, and diving off of cliffs, much like a seabird, to catch fish.

Basically what it comes down to is "dragons are cool, lets draw one".
