Hiccup and the Dragon Riders continue to up the stakes in season 4 of Dreamwork's animated series Dragons: Race To The Edge and ComicBook.com has some exclusive concept art from the hit show.

The studio has provided fans an up-close look at how the creatures of the show are brought to life, showing how they're brought from sketch form to 3D animation. Creatures like the Eruptodon, Fireterror, Shellfire, and Submaripper are all featured in the concept art, which you can view in the gallery.

While the entire crew has its fans, Toothless continues to be the star. ComicBook.com had a chance to ask visual effects supervisor David Jones about the adorable dragon and how his animations are always getting additions courtesy of co-workers cats.

Yeah, we tend to play up the cat aspect of Toothless. It's certainly not unusual for someone to bring an iPhone video of something funny their cat did and they want to turn it into a Toothless action. The Gronkels, like Meatlug, we often refer to a bulldog, and I have a bulldog which makes it easy and funny for little creature that runs around bow legged and when it's happy wags its whole backside rather than wags its tail because it doesn't have a tail. We're trying to put those animalistic feelings into the dragons because it feels really real. Stormfly has a lot of aspects of a parrot with the twitchy head movements. Often, when we find ourselves looking for things for the dragons to do, people go back to reference and start looking for the animals that inspire that dragon. It's not very rare that you find something and go, "Oh, that's hilarious! They should do that sort of thing!"

You can view the official synopsis for season 4 below.
