Description After some constructive criticism on the first version, I did a new sketch for for his contest prize c:

[Edit] Updated to the completed line art


The creature is called a Shyvran. They are a predatory gargantuan creature (about 20' - 25' at the shoulder). They have very soft belly fur, which is desirable to own and would be if not for the extreme danger of collecting it. Taking one down is a deadly affair, so they are not hunted solely for fur. Their long, prehensile tongue is used for sneaking into small hiding places and wrapping around prey and is heat sensitive. They're fast and have plate armor on their bodies to protect themselves from more feisty prey. Additionally, they have an eye at the end of their tail, with lids that curl shut to protect the eye.

haha, nah, you're good. It's from 2013 so it's only a year old. I'm gonna redo my side tabs at some point; anything older than 2012 I'm trying to weed out.

I'd try coloring it myself but i'm clueless to how to do shading or how to apply depth with color >.< Most I can do is horribly flat color.

The belly fur is basically the only trade off for the lives lost in the process of slaying one.

A little quirk! They are NOT hunted for their belly fur as they're too dangerous to feasibly/profitably hunt. Typically they are only even sought out when they have made moved into a territory that encompasses a Draskhala/Human/Fyrilan village/living area. Even then, it is only to remove them as a threat as it is nearly always costly in lives.
