body: I'm trying to make some dragons for my game and I'm wondering how far I can go with inspiration before I get in trouble.
  
  
  Obviously, I can't just take a picture and make a 3D model that looks exactly like the picture. But what about taking ideas? For example [this dragon](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/hbz-got-dany-drogon-1505228283.jpg) has these iconic red fins on his neck and his tail and now I'm wondering if I could use similar fins on my own dragon or if that's getting me into legal hell.
  
  
  I tried to google for Creature Design copyright but I could not find anything. Maybe someone here got some resources where I can find more info about that?
