Using my IPad Pro, Zbrush, and a recent fixation on birds, I've been making a dragon. This concept by Alexander Ostrowski , Which he post's on Instagram without a name, reading the comments people noted that is looks like a Basilisk Lizard, and one of the hashtags was Viper tooth, a small speedy type of dragon. So we're combo'ing the name "Basilisk Viper tooth Dragon".

My biggest love in all that is art, has always been film. My biggest idols being: 	the ones who tell stories that remind us we are alive, 	the ones who can craft emotions with their hands, 	the ones who wish to share it. Ian Hubert &#38; Felix Colgrave being my favorite examples. So, I want to make films. Lots of them. It's my belief to be good at something, the best route is to make lots of finished little pieces.
