Here is my take on Balerion the Black Dread, dragon of Aegon the Conqueror, set in a time period many years before the events seen in the widely acclaimed book and HBO series "A Song of Ice and Fire", or "Game of Thrones". The largest of dragons, it is said that Balerion could swallow a mammoth whole. When he flew, whole villages were clouded in darkness below him. Although Aegon isn't pictured here, I imagine this as a time shortly before the events of the Field of Fire.

Balerion. Son of Aegosaurus. Father of Drogon. King of Dragons.

That's one very large dragon. Like how you made his head the mix between a dinosaur and a crocodile.

It looks like the head was based off a crocodile, especially the throat. And I love it!

Finally! I've found a picture of Balerion that wasn't cartoonish or primitive in anyway and as a bonus, captures the immense size that he was known for! Thank you so much for making this, it is AMAZING!

My favourite version of Balerion. Looks just how i imagined him. I love how the head is more crocodile-like than the rest of the drawings I've seen.

Hello,

Am interested in the largest of dragons art, a package with 7 different images of a GIGANTIC DRAGON

i) SIX COLORED IMAGES: Head - 1 from front and 1 from sides,
full body - 1 from both sides, 1 - flying and 1 when sitting;

ii) ONE VECTOR: Head, as viewed from the right side of the dragon -
to be used as my personal logo. How much will that be?

NB: The resolution should be at least 4000 x 4000, and the colors should be vivid not fancy ones, and should reflect true dragon colors. (Notice to the public: No pirated software may be used as it is illegal.)

This is exactly how I pictured Balerion when I read about him. 

Nevermind covering villages in darkness! Something this big... the downward wind pressure generated from his wings, especially during take off, would pin grown men to the ground and probably blow most flimsy villages away.

One of my favourite drawings of Balerion. Wish you'd do one where Balerion is flying over a town spewing fire or the like.
