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
the best looking dragons in any movie to tv show in my opinion
woah... why does the dragon designer guy sound like Robert Downy Jr. O_o
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.
Dragon Tales, Dragon Tales. It's almost time for Dragon Tales. Come along and take my hand, let's all go to Dragon Land
Avery the Cuban-American Oh my god! I love this cartoon, it’s been ages since I last heard these lyrics
Avery the Cuban-American best comment
I wish to live this place
2011 memories
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
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
@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.
@@SNO3R I loved Smag! Did I say otherwise? Lol cant watch myself recorded. Freaks me out. But for the Record, Smaug is a totally cool Dragon!
@@danielkatcher578 when did i quote or answer to a comment made by you, when and where do i talk to you or comment what you said or didn't say? I commented on the original comment and thats it, i'm not mentioning anyone nor am i enforcing an opinion for or from anyone
Best looking dragons
I agree.
I was blown away by the amount of detail in GOT’s dragons.
3:48 duuuude Terra Nova is such a nostalgic series
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,
good video, appreciated the accuracy and depth of the 3D process
Best looking and more detailed dragons I've ever watched in a movie or tv series. But still dissapointed with the ending tho.
I loved Terra Nova! I wished it didnt get canceled. But I'm glad he got to work on GOT.
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!
Imagine making the Transformers in a similar way! It would look a lot more realistic and could be quite a bit more plausible!!!
Congratulations man, theese are some of the most beautiful creatures i' ve ever seen in my life !
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
This is amazing
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.
Yeah if the membrane reached to just past the hips then it would be good, any farther and it would cause air resistance though.
Dragons are kewl
Is it only me or does Dan Katcher's voice is very similar to Tony Stark played by RDJ
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.
Dude nailed it. Best dragons on the screen.
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!
they appear much better than the dragons portrayed in house of the dragon
Still traumatised about the end of GoT
Same here.
Not sure if I’ll ever get over season 8.
That's Good to know
If you reading this…
*Have a good day!❤️🌟*

Ye ye ye

Same goes to you, sir/ms.
Proud my india and my city Mumbai for this epic dragon VFX .
It is made in india 😎
Amazing
حقيقه إن التنين كان أهم عنصر في المسلسل ووجود قناة مثل هذه تخلي الناس يشوفون الجندي المجهول وراء هذا العمل العملاق والجبار حقيقة شي يشكرون عليه
Insane!
If only adipurush team did this much hardwork for the dragon used for ravan they could have avoided so much of hate
Father of dragons
sounds good
I wish there was a way i could get a realistic tattoo of Drogo with khaleesi standing below him for a back piece
He did a good looking dragon.
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.
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.
1:58 😂 what
Respect
What else do they use to edit?
This is the most got thing I have seen (i have never watched the show)
The Guy who is designing the dragons is sounding like "Robert Downey Jr."
How ever saw tera nova like
Wow you guys weren't kidding. Exact same vocal tone as RDJ.
Stop Giving Memories
They look like wyverns
I think wyverns are more skinny.
@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.
which software did he use?
zbrush
I thought they are inspired by iguanas more.
4:49
If you dont watch and just listen, thats RDJ speaking right there....damn
I didn't like the writing on the last couple seasons, but credit where it's due; the dragons looked fantastic
Dan Katcher: Hatc(h) Draken. 😲
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.
👍👌👌👌👌
Ugh I miss GOT
“In the natural world”
Proceeds to mention the neck of a t rex
Bruh!
that still counts as part of the natural world both extinct and living animals do lol
@@kylelee5966 oh yeah. lol
😃🐲
Well Dany was mother of dragons This man is Father of dragons 🙂😄😊😊😊
GOT is old news...
A white drogon is bomb
I m early yes
He did all that by himself?
Shame this guy isn't working on House of the Dragon.
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.
how to toothless is made
No one is talking about drogon and rhegal looks same
budget restrictions
11th
Some one here because of the thumbnail😡😡😡
It’s such a shame this guy put so much work in to make such a shitty ending.
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.
Old person die already
@@saptakmukherjee3051 I'm 29 dummy.😂.....just stating facts dumb,Dumb.😂
Firstly, Jurassic*, secondly, I think that it could be the lighting effects. Also, it takes a lot of layers so that could be why.
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.
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.
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?
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.
@@rahmanhakim1 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).
Imagine your husband is the one making the design for Drogon 😵💫
Actually, Western dragons has 4 legs seperated from the wings. If the forward legs are the wings itself, then its a fking wyvern bro
Ok then.
