This is an Illustration I completed while at Backflip Studios. It was made to promote the mobile game, Dragonvale World, at an event called Hascon - A fan convention held by Hasbro. It features the Monsoon Dragon, a dragon that I had created for the game. Here you will find thumbnails and a few process pieces; my original Monsoon concept is also shown for reference.
