This monster came from my native country! Meet Ukrainian IronBelly dragon!

This is the largest and the heaviest of all the dragons, weight can be up to 6 tons, he has gray scales with a metallic sheen, deep red eyes, long and dangerous claws.
He is quite fat and slow in flight, able to crush a house or drag a sailboat into the sea.

I used Tyrannosaurus Rex's head as a base for this dragon. Why? Firstly, dragons are still lizards, so this similarity with dinosaurs should be traced. Secondly, the head of a T-Rex looks massive and fits the huge dragon perfectly. And, thirdly, it is a tribute to my childhood love of dinosaurs.

I also wanted to portray this dragon a moment before he exhaled the flame, so we can see how his chest and maw are filled with fire. Considering how huge and slow it is, I connected the wing membranes to the tail membrane, in the hope that this would help the giant in flight.

By the way, nowhere in the books(!) it is said that the golden trio flew out of the Gringotts bank exactly at the Ukrainian Ironbelly, therefore my drawing does not look like what it was in the film.

This is an art for my own project Illustrations with Fantastic Beasts from Harry Potter world.
