I would recommend looking at the dragons from Sawyer Lee’s Draconomicon. I believe he was partly inspired by these dragons but they are truly phenomenal
@DavidisGamingHD just made the designs and models. Lots of other companies and Artists did the fantastic animation. I know Pixomondo, ILM, Weta,Image engine and Rythm and Huges were all involved as far as I can remember.

I think he explained that he only creates the 3d model and design.The model gets sent to HBO who then hire a VFX company to animate it into the episode.
Awesome job with this video. Im currently learning this skill so it was great to see what is ultimately possible in modeling, sculpting, and in animating. Thank you.
The thing that bothered me about the GoT dragon designs is below the elbow, the wings are barely attached to the body. It doesn’t look like the body is supported enough to fly by the wings. The body of a bat is completely supported by the wings by comparison. Other than that, brilliant dragon design.
All I can say is thank God for Dan Katcher. I've always loved the idea of Dragons. But he completely brought them to life for me.❤ The detail is scary.
Haha! I’ve seen, liked, and replied to many of your comments on Brian Tyler Cohen’s channel! Funny to see you are, or were, a game of thrones fan as well! And as usual, I agree!
Drogon was not done growing when the show ended. Dragon’s can live for centuries and Drogon would have likely grown to be much larger than Balerion the Dread.
I love any movie, show with dragons. Even though they’re not real creatures I’ve always been very fascinated by them. I just finished watching the last episode of series Yesterday and I honestly wished I had watched this show years ago because it was really darn good. Of course, my favorite part were the dragons. Never seen more lies, deceitfulness , betrayal and murder in any show or movie until this show. WOW!
I do love dragons from GOT. They are best Wyrim dragons ever made, better than Skyrim dragons imo. Though I wish they were 4 legs. 2 wings dragons in GOT. They would been so much more deadly if they had 4 limbs and 2 wings. But we all know that in nature. There nothing comes close that has 6 limbs creature in mammals, except maybe insects? The only other myth that 6 limbs would be centaurs. The Wyrim dragons in GOT do make more logical sense in GOT lore. So I do understand why they went this route. I just wish we got more wise/friendly/charming movies like HTTYD or Dragon heart or Eragon. Dragon heart 1 is still my favourite dragon. The rest dragon heart movies were kinda bad Except HTTYD. we’ve haven’t had 4 legged/2 wing dragon moved since. All other western 4 legged/2 Wing moves or tv series with dragons have been horrible. Eragon is perfect example. Sapphire was good looking, well design dragon. Everything else was horrible. The scrip of story, the actors were kinda bad except Jeremy Irons, everything else was just bad, or done so cheep. I’ve never read the books, but hear they 10x better then movie ever was.
HTTYD is awful tbh. Not only do they look more like eldritch abominations there, but dragons as pets is just totally wrong in my opinion. Either way, I agree that GOT has some of the best dragons (or rather wyverns) in any media. Just the teeth are all messed up. Drogon could be British. lol Skyrim also has quite nice designs except the wings. Everything else about the models (lack of detail) can of course be excused since its a game (and a rather old one).
I’d say that these dragons have the most realistic designs I’ve ever seen, but I’m gonna have to look af Syrax for that (even though the CGI of House of the Dragon isn’t as polished as in Game of Thrones). Cause if there’s one, very important thing that Dany’s dragons miss that Syrax does have, is the wing membranes attaching to the root of the tail instead of just in front of the pelvis. With their hips being a heavy point of their bodies, Dany’s dragons wouldn’t have been able to take off and create enough lift to stay aloft (at least not horizontally) with that extra necessary wing membrane missing between the first wing fingers and the root of their tails. I know dragons don’t exist and these are just tv shows, but the painfully inaccurate wings has been bothering me since the start, especially since they wanted to make the dragons look as realistic as possible.
I also work on 3d model, mine are not animated and not that good looking with such details, so I can imagine how the work behind is insane, I'm so impressed.
Some complains that GOT dragons don't look like dragons because dragons have 4 legs. They look like wyverns. It is because GOT dragons are wyverns. GOT dragons are artificially created by the Valerians. They merged wyverns and fire worms to create them.
My only complain is in the coloring; They all look so similar, just different shades of brown. I wish they had followed the books' descriptions of the dragons' colors more accurately.
@Vanessinha Colson dragons have 2 legs and 2 arms. Wyvern's have 2 legs and their arms are like attached to the wings so it looks like they have no arms which makes the dragons look alot more badass plus wyverns are skinnier.
@Vanessinha Colson stop that, They're wyverns period. Just like hydras or tiamats, they look like dragons but they have 3 heads so they're hydras/tiamats and never dragons.
i think they forgot to design a saddle for the dragon. i know we can explain that westero kinda forget how to ride a dragon etc… that’s just a weak argument. the tech is there, riding on dragon bare butt doesn’t sound comfortable, saddle there is.
Do he not create a lowpoly model of the dragon and backe the high res. information? Or how you wana rig/animate a 12mio poly model lol.. But the design of the dragon is not a real dragon. Thats a wyverns.
In theory, dragons are much more maneuverable than sailing ships. Why didn’t they fly around and attack the ships from behind? Frontal assaults are almost always stupid. Worst episode of the entire series.
as I can tell, they didn't get aerodynamic enough, they should have gotten a biologist, or taken the Vermithrax Prejorative body as the main inspiration.
Why do the Dinasours on Jerassic Park the first movie look way better than this dragon in 2019.....this dragon looks too 3Dish almost like a video game.
Who cares how many legs dragons have? I mean Eastern dragons don't have wings, but who cares? NOBODY. It is a concept coming from the ancient times! Wyverns look like classical dragons. Wyverns are dragons. Period.
@@iudexe3103 Wings are as inportant as legs (or hands, since some dragons walk on 2 since rear limbs are too weak to stand on them, but still can be used as hands).
the best looking dragons in any movie to tv show in my opinion
agree
Kilgharrah in merlin
Smaug looks nice.
Yes
Saphira was so beautiful too
Dragons in Game of Thrones are the most visually stunning and "realistic" dragons to have ever been created in my opinion.
Absolutely couldn't agree more
Same here
Same here
and now House of the Dragon tops it :DDDD
I would recommend looking at the dragons from Sawyer Lee’s Draconomicon. I believe he was partly inspired by these dragons but they are truly phenomenal
I'm so glad to see the GOT dragons were created by this slightly kooky but insanely professional guy!
You guys did an amazing job.
Drogon looked so realistic.
He looked 10 times better than Smaug and I’m sure Smaug cost 10 times as much.
Smaug looked awesome, don't need to bring others down to lift others up
Thank you. And yes smaug was very expensive compared to the GOT Dragons

That's super cool. Would you be able to show the process of animating it? It must have been hard
I think he explained that he only creates the 3d model and design.The model gets sent to HBO who then hire a VFX company to animate it into the episode.
Hi
3:48 duuuude Terra Nova is such a nostalgic series
he sounds a lot like Robert Downey Jr.
Really!? Thanks! I love Robert Downey Jr.
@@danielkatcher578 hahahaha yeah idk if I'm the only one but I definitely thought so!! 😇
Sam Nassiri thats what I thought 😂
@@danielkatcher578 man you're a legend
I was about to say the exact same thing.
Best looking dragons
I agree.
I was blown away by the amount of detail in GOT’s dragons.
Dragons this guy designed are the most beutiful and realistic dragons has ever appeared on tv or cinema. Magnificent work.
Best looking and more detailed dragons I've ever watched in a movie or tv series. But still dissapointed with the ending tho.
good video, appreciated the accuracy and depth of the 3D process
Honestly this was the best dragons design I’ve ever seen
Congratulations man, theese are some of the most beautiful creatures i' ve ever seen in my life !
Awesome job with this video. Im currently learning this skill so it was great to see what is ultimately possible in modeling, sculpting, and in animating. Thank you.
ME TOO! I LOVE WHAT THE RESULT WAS,
they appear much better than the dragons portrayed in house of the dragon

Yeah if the membrane reached to just past the hips then it would be good, any farther and it would cause air resistance though.
I loved Terra Nova! I wished it didnt get canceled. But I'm glad he got to work on GOT.
All I can say is thank God for Dan Katcher. I've always loved the idea of Dragons. But he completely brought them to life for me.❤ The detail is scary.
People seldom think who is behind these amazing designs and CGI. This man deserves recognition. Genius!
The dragons were a huge part of the show, and I felt they were unceremoniously killed with no fan fare. A bit disappointing.
Haha! I’ve seen, liked, and replied to many of your comments on Brian Tyler Cohen’s channel! Funny to see you are, or were, a game of thrones fan as well! And as usual, I agree!
It was super disappointing
Hope they will survive in books.
Hate dragonslaying
THIS. I agree so much! Their deaths were so lame! Atleast in HOTD we get to see Arraxs' badass death!
I wonder how Balerion will look since he’s bigger than drogon
Drogon was not done growing when the show ended.
Dragon’s can live for centuries and Drogon would have likely grown to be much larger than Balerion the Dread.

Truly a multidisciplinary work of art!
I wish there was a way i could get a realistic tattoo of Drogo with khaleesi standing below him for a back piece
Still traumatised about the end of GoT
Same here.
Not sure if I’ll ever get over season 8.
Hope this man is also working on House of The Dragon 🙏🏾
most likely...but they most likely hired more people due to the new dragon designs also

sounds good
He did a good looking dragon.
The Guy who is designing the dragons is sounding like "Robert Downey Jr."
we need a part 2 for house of the dragons
This is amazing
The details and movement : Phenomenal! However I never liked the body proportions, mostly that ribcage on the adult dragons
This is the most got thing I have seen (i have never watched the show)
That's Good to know

I love terra nova - i wished there were more seasons
Dude nailed it. Best dragons on the screen.
Insane!
I didn't like the writing on the last couple seasons, but credit where it's due; the dragons looked fantastic
Wow you guys weren't kidding. Exact same vocal tone as RDJ.
1:58 😂 what
Kind of looks like the creature creation process for the old computer game Spore.
Amazing
Shame this guy isn't working on House of the Dragon.
Stop Giving Memories
If you dont watch and just listen, thats RDJ speaking right there....damn
I thought they are inspired by iguanas more.
They look like wyverns
@Vanessinha Colson they do. Ever played dark souls 3?
@Vanessinha Colson wyverns breathe fire on all the games i played and movies i watched. Dragons just make them look underrated.
@Vanessinha Colson dragons have 2 legs and 2 arms. Wyvern's have 2 legs and their arms are like attached to the wings so it looks like they have no arms which makes the dragons look alot more badass plus wyverns are skinnier.
@Vanessinha Colson just what the hell do you think of dragons? No, i don't ever wanna know.
@Vanessinha Colson stop that, They're wyverns period. Just like hydras or tiamats, they look like dragons but they have 3 heads so they're hydras/tiamats and never dragons.
How ever saw tera nova like
What else do they use to edit?
Respect

Ugh I miss GOT
anyone noticed he sounds like rdj? close your eyes it’ll make kore sense!
Nope, these dragons were designed similar to the one in Reign of Fire. That was his source.
Well Dany was mother of dragons This man is Father of dragons 🙂😄😊😊😊
House of WYVERNS , I didn't see a single dragon in this video
which software did he use?
zbrush
Is he also doing House of Dragon too?
Do he not create a lowpoly model of the dragon and backe the high res. information? Or how you wana rig/animate a 12mio poly model lol..
But the design of the dragon is not a real dragon. Thats a wyverns.
It's the most realistic. If dragons were real, that's how they'd be. Only insects have 2 wings and 4 or more legs.
only thing right in last seasons: dragons
Let me correct you Dragon isn't even a mythical creature rather more from a fantasy world
In theory, dragons are much more maneuverable than sailing ships. Why didn’t they fly around and attack the ships from behind? Frontal assaults are almost always stupid. Worst episode of the entire series.

Hate to break it to you but these are wyverns
Wyverns are mre possible than a traditional 4 leg dragon. All vertebrates have 4 limbs.
I m early yes
Its a frickin wyvern, not a dragon
Dragons have been depicted in many ways. Chinese Dragons dont even have wings at all but are still called Dragons.
@@danielkatcher578 chinese dragons still does have 4 legs, wyvern only has 2
Who cares, 2 legged makes their flying more convincing, also makes more evolutionary scene. Is Smaug also a wyvern now?
Who cares how many legs dragons have?

Ok then.
