Dracaraptor

I just couldn't hold back the tide.

A while ago I did some scrap of Dracaena as a four-legged dragon, the idea being that I wanted her to have a form that would let her carry a rider. But I like this two-legged "raptordragon" mode better. (What else would you expect from me.)

Dracaena's rider is named Rosalind for now. She is the main character of the story! Ho ho, I led you to believe it was Dracaena this whole time, but no. She is just SECONDARY. (And admittedly kind of more fun to draw overall, what with all the configurations...) Rosalind is a young mageknight in Alabanth, a low-tech and highly religious society. She is part of a unit called the Relic Breakers, whose job it is to track down and destroy magical artifacts that may be dangerous (or heretical). Stuff like golems, crazed magical tomes, etc. As someone who didn't want to join the military and who doesn't have a natural affinity for the required magic, she's very jaded and a bit distrustful of her leaders. Which, in some small part, leads to her meeting Dracaena...
