ARRAX DRAGON SADDLE - HOUSE OF THE DRAGON

The Arrax saddle was the first of the juvy / child saddles, its design form the beginning was meant to look different to the other larger saddles. The show runners often referred to it as a 'training' saddle for the young riders, like a bike with stabilisers. The early development of the buck shape I was looking at insects, just like the other saddles we wanted something organic, and feeling like it was clinging on to the dragon, My main influences were still looking at baby animals on there mothers, but also parasitical creatures and insect. For this buck in particular I was looking a lot at sea creatures that attach them selves to sharks. For its organic form I was heavily inspired by the different Rhinoceros beetles and long horn beetles.
