Toothless for How To Train Your Dragon live action.
Amazing work!
We are approaching the maximum of images you can post here so I thought it was time I make a little showcase of all the formation pieces we covered so far on the streams.
For people who don't know: for several months now I draw one formation or fossil locality every Saturday. The next place we visit is chosen by a wheel of names, which we also constantly fill up again when a new formation is picked.
I try to make it as interesting as possible in my composition and choice of animals and I can tell you this series has been a great training when it comes to constructing these, how I call them, Menageries.
I have to thank a team of friends and colleagues who help behind the scenes with research, creation of size charts and conversation partners when it comes to deciding on the compositions of these pieces. Their help has been invaluable!

His back has texture.
Also don’t mind the buttons on his chest. They are magnets for holding things.
This film is woefully underrated. I wish more of the general public would talk about it. In the circles I’m in it usually just ends up being a bunch of animators talking about it. More accurately we are usually discussing the amount of work animating a horse is lol.
First post ever. WooHoo!!! This is a work in progress for one of my characters I have been using in a worldbuilding project and show concept. Her name is Houstan. More on her will likely be expanded upon later, as well as the world building project itself.
Thanks for dropping by though.
Very interesting. I love learning about the separate Birg cultures view on different things. And this one looks so fashionable.
Are there albino birgies?
A complete lack of pigmentation does sometimes occur in Birgs, yes!
Sentiments on complete albinism vary by culture; in kakroum clans, a pure white Birg is thought to occur when a cold draft allows a winter spirit to infect a larva. With a snow-ghost in their blood, they attract other spirits and may be agents of misfortune. Southern clans view them in a more positive light, embracing them as born interpreters of weather omens carried on the wind.
Heartland Twowi find them somewhat less uncanny, as large white patches are already a common phenotype in the region. Folk wisdom based on a centuries old practice of fate reading in spots would suggest that they are blank slates, their futures uncertain because the gods didn’t bother to mark them at all.
