Reference images for concept

So heres some of the art work that i used to create some of my concept designs.

i liked these dragons that i found due to the simplistic styles used to create them , from looking at these pictures i realised that to make my designs look realistic towards chinese style is that my drawings had to be fluid with alot of like curves and details but still keeping a simplistic look to it.

so below are my research for phoenix , the phoenix is always seen as much as the dragon within chinese art looking at the research i found , it seemed again that the styles used are always very fluid and always keep to one direction
