Dragonstar chapter 5 page 15 (Patreon)

Even a dragon will think twice if it risks getting a face full of stinging spines...

I really loved storyboarding this page. To show this animal thinking, trying to problem solve and throwing a tantrum when it fails. I was inspired by corvids in how I wanted to display Thunderous Skyvern behavior. Corvids are incredible problem solvers, while still showing a lot of noisy attitude.

Though she looks almost silly in this page, this skyvern became a lot scarier for it. Those long, sharp wing fingers have proven to be terrifyingly dexterous.

Enjoy!
