I don't really have a solid design in mind but here's some ideas?


As an idea for 4 different skins:
Dragon pose: Maybe Skydancer F or Wildclaw?
Coverage: Skincent or accent
Design idea: The Four Gentlemen (bamboo, chrysanthemum, plum blossom, orchid)
Possible references:


Or another more Japanese inspired set:
Dragon pose: Guardian F/M or maybe Banescale?
Coverage: Skincent
Design idea: Japan scenery (such as Mt. Fuji, Japanese castle/temple, etc.) with stylized clouds
Possible references:

[b]Dragon pose:[/b] Ridgeback M/F/H (or any breed a mask could be drawn onto) [b]Coverage:[/b] Accent/skincent [b]Design idea:[/b] a tengu! because they have the long snoot where you could put a beak? i was going to do this at some point but i couldn't figure out a sketch I liked [emoji=skull size=1] some imagery you could use are the tengu-fans, clouds and wind, mountains, trees, crows/feathers/bird wings, noh theater masks/elements [b]Possible references:[/b] [url=https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/54433]by hokusai; not a tengu but she's pretty lol[/url] [b]Dragon pose:[/b] Skydancer/Coatl/Wildclaw F/H [b]Coverage:[/b] accent/skincent [b]Design idea:[/b] fenghuang (or hou-ou if you prefer); they are colorful "phoenixes" that are symbols of imperial royalty and associated with yin and yang, fire, the sun, and can be depicted with parasol trees or enpress trees [b]Possible references:[/b] [url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/Nine-headed_phoenix%2C_from_a_color_edition_of_Shan_Hai_Jing_%28crop%29.jpg/800px-Nine-headed_phoenix%2C_from_a_color_edition_of_Shan_Hai_Jing_%28crop%29.jpg]my favorite artwork of one[/url], [url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmiana_simplex]parasol tree[/url], [url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulownia_tomentosa]empress tree [/url] [b]Dragon pose:[/b] maybe a chunky boy like an obbie, bog, or snapper? [b]Coverage:[/b] skincent [b]Design idea:[/b] Baku:) the original chimeric creature in ancient artwork (see reference) is quite complicated and has a lot of opportunity for detail! could also include clouds, stars, moons, or wisps [b]Possible references:[/b] [url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/40/MET_29_100_898_O1.jpeg]one of many cool pictures of baku[/url], the FR familiars i guess
