NeverEnding Story Redesign // Falkor

I had fun redesigning the NeverEnding Story characters. I tried a more
mature, dark and gritty approach. My main reference was mostly the first
film and the wikipedia page (I never read the book).

Falkor the luck dragon.

Awesome!

I absolutely love this entire piece up until the tip of the nose. Even so the work is stunningly gorgeous.

Beautiful!!! i like this concept... I jus't don't undertand why in the movie they change the name of the dragon. I think the original name it's more interesting. FUJUR
I really love your design and i think it could work, even if you only take as a reference the movie, i think looks more dragon-lionish like in the book. LOVE IT!!!

Yeah, same thing, especially when you rewatch it : the special effects aged badly but the story is still awesome.

I'm loving these. I watched the movie several times as a kid and more recently read the book. It's wonderful to see these characters reimagined, and in such a nice style as yours. Keep up the good work.

haha thx !

WOAH.

THANKS.

Actually, Falcor's dog-like appearance in the movie was changed from the novel the movie was adapted from, in that his appearance was more Lion-like, hears a pic I found of the cover of the book with Falcor it: 2.bp.blogspot.com/-DpQ23-2ZtQE…
