the best looking dragons in any movie to tv show in my opinion

[Nathan-jhho]

Dragons in Game of Thrones are the most visually stunning and "realistic" dragons to have ever been created in my opinion.

[billythesquid]

I'm so glad to see the GOT dragons were created by this slightly kooky but insanely professional guy!

[ceceshaffer]

woah... why does the dragon designer guy sound like Robert Downy Jr. O_o

[AverytheCubanAmerican]

Dragon Tales, Dragon Tales. It's almost time for Dragon Tales. Come along and take my hand, let's all go to Dragon Land

[ashtrall]

That's super cool. Would you be able to show the process of animating it? It must have been hard

[MOBROOKS]

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.

he sounds a lot like Robert Downey Jr.

[jomsnow]

Best looking and more detailed dragons I've ever watched in a movie or tv series. But still dissapointed with the ending tho.

[MANIAKRA]

good video, appreciated the accuracy and depth of the 3D process

[bered]

3:48 duuuude Terra Nova is such a nostalgic series

[Antebus]

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.

Dragons this guy designed are the most beutiful and realistic dragons has ever appeared on tv or cinema. Magnificent work.

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!

[JavalinGaming]

I loved Terra Nova! I wished it didnt get canceled. But I'm glad he got to work on GOT.

[pepeddrobarros]

Congratulations man, theese are some of the most beautiful creatures i' ve ever seen in my life !

[jdz]

Honestly this was the best dragons design I’ve ever seen

[DestronGaming]

Imagine making the Transformers in a similar way! It would look a lot more realistic and could be quite a bit more plausible!!!

[ghoulof]

I wonder how Balerion will look since he’s bigger than drogon

[traceym.]

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.
