[Additional Information ]
> BASIC INFO - Stryfe is male. He is an adult ( think ~20 human years ).

> SPECIES - Sand dragon. He lives in the desert and spends time both above and underground.

> APPEARANCE - A pointed, triangular-type snout and large, slitted nostrils that can open and close as he pleases - helpful when burrowing or during sandstorms. The dark markings under his eyes reduce glare reflected off the sand. Large feet help prevent him from sinking into the sand, allowing easier movement in his natural environment. Has pseudo-"thumbs". Long ears help regulate body temperature under the scorching rays of the sun, though as reptile, he will also burrow under sand dunes or crawl into underground tunnels to escape the heat if necessary. Blunted claws moreso for digging and excavation than combat.

> PERSONALITY - Generally calm, collected, lazy. Enjoys lounging around on rocks in the early morning and resting in underground burrows during the height of the day. Usually avoids conflict because he can't be bothered, but can be territorial when food is scarce. Average intelligence, not particularly clever. He is solitary, though this is due more to his location than anything else. Talks to himself sometimes when he's bored. Easily bored and when he's not feeling /too/ lazy, will wander around looking for things of interest. Blunt, but not unkind.

So this character is.. really old. I've been thinking about characters lately and randomly remembered him, so on a whim, I checked out his old pictures and.. many luls were had. |D;

Seriously, look at those terribly clashing colours. :b I will forever see that as him going through a rebellious teenage stage in which he had punky teal hair and metal bands ( .. on his legs. Not on an iPod ). Also I changed his anatomy a ton because /still/ feel like he looks sort of like a donkeyhorse in his old art haha. That was unintentional back then but I didn't know how to change it. Thankfully, five years later, I /do/ know how. :'D

It's funny because he was originally designed for a comic I was thinking up, in which he was extremely headstrong and kind of a brat haha, but now his personality has done a 360 and he's just a humble dragon that lives in the desert and is enjoying his quiet life thank you very much. :b

Mostly I just really wanted to draw those stripes again. They were always my favourite part of his design haha. xD
