Snoop Dogg Accidentally Made This Tiny Romanian Village Famous

The rapper put Romania on the map, by mistake.

No, really, you should http://visitbogata.com/ and so should Snoop D.O. double G.

and here we go: all current Flight Rising dragon breeds, all together! I used the average sizes for each breed, which is is as follows (in order from left to right in the second image):

Imperial: 21m

Ridgeback: 18m

Guardian: 15m

Snapper: 5m

Pearlcatcher: 5.65m

Mirror: 5.7m

Wildclaw: 5m

Tundra: 3.48

Skydancer: 5.66

Spiral: 3.25

Fae: 1m

and again, the human silhouette is 1.83m/6’. this was a fun project and I think I can get back to actual arts now, and while I enjoy having this reference, I also still take dragon sizes with a big grain of salt (and don’t even get me started on wingspan & weights ok)!

you can also nab a larger size (2500x1185 pixels) of the second image over here on dA, and you can check out my tag #drag size chart for individual size charts of each breed (with smallest, largest & average).

At first, Colorado based artist Courtney Mattison, who describes herself as a visual learner, began sculpting her elaborate works inspired by sea creatures as a better way of understanding them. But over time, her love and admiration for these organisms evolved into a message about their well being and preservation. Previously featured here on our blog, Mattison hopes that her ceramic sculptures and installations, based on her own photographs of different organisms living in coral reefs, will inspire others to appreciate the beauty of the ocean as she does.
