Trace the dragon rider and Kaylia (proto-Flora) the aspiring mage, both original concepts for the character before Twokinds, suggested by Combak! I ultimately didn't have Trace being a dragon rider as an official thing simply because... drawing dragons was too hard lol I did eventually bring it back a few years later with the introduction of Nora and her relationship with Trace.

We need more Kaylia now

I do enjoy looking at concept art. Always interesting to see what the comic would've been like.

Kaylia: " I was promised a seatbelt; where's the seatbelt?!? STOP THE RIDE, I WANNA GET OFF!!!"

JIngle

Looks like a fun story

The roles seem to be reversed when I look at it. Trace became the mage and Flora’s personality could’ve fit the dragon rider role in some ways.

Seeing how far your art has come is always a treat.

I'm picturing that's Nora at the bottom of the pic, thinking "Oh yes, I remember this timeline..."

*Kaylia screws up a teleportation Spell into a dimensional one and appear right before Flora...naked of course*

Kaylia: "w-Wait TRACE! My Staff! I dropped my Staff! Stop! Go Back!" Trace: "There are no brakes on the Dragan ride Kay."

I love looking at concept art. Seeing a concept be in the womb, and all the potential it could have had. Oh a slight difference could mean we would have ended up with an entirely different character. And of course trying to see if you could fit a concept in the modern iteration and make it work.

And then Trace will have to rack his brains to figure out who he wants, Kaylia or Flora.

Trace: Is this fun or what? Flora: AAAHHHH!!!

Combak

Awesome! Thanks for the bonus old sketches Tom!

Tio Darth

Kaylia could appear more often.

Joe

TOM LORE we eatin good today omfg

Trace: Rule #1: Life does not give you seatbelts!

Brad Sampson

Hmm.... Eragon would be intrigued by these new riders. Perhaps I should suggest a crossover...

SophieTRat-Skunk

I’m not sure Saphira would go for it… she’s strictly a one Rider dragon…

Ah, that time-honored tradition, "drawing on your homework" ;)

eddi_TBH

They were always a pair. And a lot of fun.

Aralan Stradivari

Honestly, it is sometimes fascinating to see how characters started, and where they have ended up

Coyote

Somehow gives me Ruin Explorers vibes.

AetherSprite224

"Dragon Rider" so Nora gets her wish in this alternate universe, eh? XD

Drazgon

I have always had that feeling about Trace... So delightful to learn that Trace originally was supposed to have connection with dragons, just as I imagine our Trace to develop it in the future.

Lord Shackleford

This might be a good story for an alt world or later in the universe.

MS Studios

nice masterpiece! ;)

Crimson Dragon

Trace ended up the other kind of dragon rider.

Creating characters can be quite a journey. I wrote a pair of Sci-Fi novels (published in 2013) that involved humans and an alien race. The main alien character was from a race of felines who were similar to highly-evolved house cats. She, along with rest of her kind, ended up completely different than when I started the original short story that proceeded to take on a life of its own!

Netari Icefyng

oh so that's why Nora was a good friend of trace

Joe

Personally a little sad that this got less votes than the revealing trio, but I guess that's the way the internet is

Mark Temple

anyone else feel like these two could easily be Trace and Flora's kids after a timeskip in the story?

Wyatt Banfield

I can just see trace trying the hand thing on Nora now... If you know you know

Drazgon

I would if lady Nora was younger than Trace.
