It can be difficult, sometimes, to decide where 'dragon' ends and some other creature begins. Nobody really agrees and I've had some hilariously anal comments about what is or isn't a dragon.

Whether or not this can be classified as a dragon strictly is debatable. But I had been working off of the dragon template, i.e. longer neck, reptilian tail, six limbs, two of which being wings, etc. The body was based off of a greyhound. The horns and the neck, in part, a goat.

People tend to draw what they know, and I think a lot of 'goat' sneaks into my art here and there because I used to own and be personally acquainted with goats. Cats, horses, goats, dogs, chickens, iguana--I tend to draw features, both physical and emotional/behavioral, from those animals.
