forgive me while i post about disney on main, but i literally cannot believe that they put a disney princess face... on a dragon
like... what the fuck is this
for contrast, here are some actual dragons, from Thai mythology, which is clearly the inspo for her design, except they’re infinitely cooler
i hate that she’s furry, and has EYEBROWS, and eyelashes and liner? i understand modifying a creature’s design for the sake of animated emotional clarity, but this is weak creature design. this is a human face superimposed on a mythological creature. even worse, it’s disney’s favorite face— with giant eyes, pencil brows, and a button nose, on a dragon.
you can create animated creatures that still look animalistic. the dragons from httyd do this extremely well; they clearly show emotions, but are still obviously, and delightfully, dragons.
they’re covered in scales, have prominent snouts, and reptillian eyes. these are dragons! and they look the part!
anyways, disney really, really needs to get its head out its ass about marketability, and create characters that are actually interesting to look at.
