Markers on paper
8.5 x 11 in
21.6 x 27.9 cm
Aria Luna spent a fair amount of time creating not just a slew of dragons, but all of their characteristics, powers, and meta data. She went so far as to create a dragon club at school, and a dragon game her classmates played. This is a great example of the game creator’s mind at work.
The Void Dragon

Aria no longer cares for this dragon but we still think the style is unique and unusual. Would be nice to have him finished and yet, somehow, you barely notice he’s not…

One of Aria’s early dragons, and the most fashion-conscious of them all.
This was during her hybrid animal phase—some of that clearly rubbed off on this dragon.
