The Hero's Crest

Symbols, Banners, Crests

Following on from my designs of the necromancer and her dragon, I decided that I wanted the heroes of my story to have their own dragon symbol. A symbol that would look ferocious and would show the power of the organisation that the heroes work together to build. Using the head designs I'd done for my 'good dragons' (pictured below) I used the base head sketch to develop crests and a simple dragon silhouette symbol to put on banners. Looking into symbolism for dragons as well, I found a really simple triangle was used in old germanic to represent a dragon eye. Using that simple symbol I did a few variations that could be included in the heroes armour, weapons or clothing.
