Abiah Dragon Design Process
This was finished over 2 years ago. Wanted to test a bunch of processes with this and learned so much here. Also expiremented with making something that can work both as a animal and a character. The "dragon" here can climb and swimb using a weird combination of anatomy. The project was a way of testing styles, workflows and tools. I would have titled this "my digital punching bag" but chickened out.
