Back during Inktober and Mapvember last year I ended up generating a ton of thumbnail sketches of all sorts.
One of them was for a little island that was in the rough shape of some sort of dragon.
It wasn't quite this particular version, as some things changed. Partly the scale.
The original sketch was to 'look' like a dragon, but not really BE a dragon.
But it turned into lands that are a living dragon. Albeit quite large.
And obviously very very sleepy. But dragons are sleepy, so I have been told.
But griffins tend to exaggerate, so who can be sure.

I had some fun with the names.
