Moth Dragon

Dragon crossed with a moth. Compound eyes, feathery antennae, ruffled collar around the neck, scaled belly, wings that split the difference between bat and moth. Labeled "Moth dragon" at the top in my own handwriting, which I find charming in retrospect. Pencil on sketchbook paper — you can see the tools on the desk alongside it in the photo, which feels appropriate. The compound eyes were the design challenge: large dark spheres that still read clearly as eyes rather than voids.
