Dragon Girl
The Dragon Girl design came from a vision I had revolving around contemporary Gen Z fashion— dyed hair, thrifted clothing, knitwear, gold jewelry. I wanted to use rich jewel tones in her design, which I felt would both help her ground her in this lush desert environment, as well as emphasize her dragon theme. While developing this character, I called her “Horde”, because I imagined her as a collector of interesting objects.
