Character design Tiaopi - color tryout and detail.

A character I designed for a project I had.
I had to >imagine< working for DreamWorks 'How to train your Dragon' part 3.
Copyright of HTTYD goes toe DreamWorks.
The copyright of this character is mine.

I decided to make him red (even though I liked yellow-blue) because it was more asian dragon like.
I loved making a detailed "shot" of Tiáopí!
This is Yánshí's dragon, Tiáopí.
His characteristics and looks are based on ferrets and asian dragons.

He's a so called Asian Smoke breather.
