Over the last 3 months I’ve posted my rough sketches for all the characters in the book.
I’ve covered Josh’s family and all the Viking characters in previous posts. I’ve also shown one of the villains. But there’s a major villain I left out.
Today I’ll show you my sketches of Fafnir the dragon.
Fafnir the dragon appears in Norse mythology. The legend goes that Fafnir guarded a pile of gold – much like Smaug in Tolkien’s The Hobbit.
Fafnir was defeated by Sigurd, a Viking hero.
Here’s my character reference sheet for Fafnir.
I made a standard colour version of each character too, so that I could keep their colours consistent. Here’s the colour sheet for Fafnir:
Next week I’ll show you the entire cast in one go, so you can see how their colours and designs relate to each other.
