I had someone ask me on dA on any tips when drawing Kaos, and after doodling this up (since I can’t explain things worth a poop, i’m an awful teacher) I figured I’d share here too! 

I have my own way of drawing him through preference, since I MUCH prefer his cutscene model from Giants compared to the baby-face he has more recently (at least in cutscenes). I tend to draw him more adult looking (since he’s nearing his 40s when he even wakes the Queen up) though age in Skylands doesn’t really seem to matter all that much. I also color him with slightly darker skin cuz because I feel it matches his color palette better

I mostly suggest just watching the youtube movies of the game’s cutscenes and screenshotting tons of different poses to get a bunch of good references! 

Enjoy!

I have noticed other types of dark dragons, such as Blackout’s breed. Do these have any connection to the Kuros, possible as cousin species?

Lost Queen : Kuros are one of, if not THE, most ancient species of dragon known to Skylands. We are the core embodiment of darkness. Because of this, we have countless of other species that have evolved from us, and who owe their relations to us. Such as the Skylander known as Blackout, yes.
