Arctic Sea Dragon

I developed this concept a few years ago when I created a series of dragon sketches for Smaugust. I wanted to incorporate features of several aquatic animals into this dragon. You’ll see features of hippos, sea turtles, and whales in the design. It doesn’t have the typical scaley hide, I gave it a leathery skin that’s thick with fat to keep this creature warm in its arctic environment.

Created using Zbrush, Blender, Substance Painter, and rendered in Cycles.
