Description
So I read a series of books (the first is Hawksong, but I can't remember the rest), where two shapeshifters from different races were having a baby. The cross was a cobra and a hawk.This isn't fan-art, because it looks nothing like how the actual child turned out (to the best of my knowledge), but it got me thinking...I wondered what a bird and a snake would look like if they were to cross and I came up with my own explanation. To be honest, my favorite part of this drawing is the tail. I love how it turned out. It would also, as my fiance pointed out, serve a great help in changing direction while in flight.
I'm pretty pleased with this drawing. I still need to work on feathers, as they lack detail, but overall, I think this turned out rather well.

Oliza's wyvern form was first describe in Falcondance, but she had her own book (though I feel the series should had ended differently). Besides the fact that this wyvern is lacking her legs and talons, she looks nice. I love the head most of all, it really fits with the idea that this wyverns could almost be like modern dinosaurs (though I view them kind of more like raptors).
I love her wings.

This is actually rather accurate. There might have been some mention of legs in there somewhere, but that was rather unclear.

I was a little unclear on the actual description, especially because I've STILL only read the first three books (Wow, I really need to go back to that series and read more now), but it was really fun. I like the idea of legs, because I'm not sure how she'd land otherwise without scraping all her scales painfully. But I also like the idea of her still being able to slither, so I'm not sure which I'd prefer.
I have an odd obsession with details and how they'd work in different situations. LOL

This is awesome, I think this is sort of how they described Wyvern in the book, which wasn't how I imagined wyverns, but oh well.
This is very cool

The books never seemed to give an exact description...at least not the three that I read (hawksong, snakecharm, and falcondance). I'm not sure if she's written more in the series that describe the wavern better, though.
This is how I imagined it when they first found out Danika was pregnant in Snakecharm, and (though not how i imagined waverns either), I really had fun with the drawing!
Thanks for the comment!

Yeah, she doesn't mention it until the book "Wolfcry". I think that Hawksong and Snakecharm were the best in the series
Great job once again on the picture. I love it!

I agree that those are my favorites so far. Falcondance was alright, but no where near as good as the first two.

Very well done
makes me think more of an amphitere than a wyvern but who cares XD

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. It was completely done with a ball-point pen, which made the shading really fun to do.
Haven't heard of an amphitere before...off to google it. ^.^

It's not a very known dragon but I like it. Loves to add birdwings on reptiles XD

I love dragons, and any reptile with wings. Adding the bird wings on the snake was fun because it was a challenge to go from feather to scale without an obvious line between the two. ^.^
