No better way to de-stress after an exam than working on a contest entry, LOL.
Contest entry for DragonOfIceAndFire !!

I decided to go with what's my absolute favorite element from the TLoS Lore: Shadow. It's powerful, the dark counterpart to smoke and abso-fucking-lutely awesome. A pain to render, though.
This character is supposed to be a male despite looking thinner, like Cynder. That's mostly because in my headcanon, a dragon's anatomy isn't simply based on their sex but also on their element. So, while the elemental four types of dragons would have a buffer anatomy both on males and females, the "corrupted" elemental dragons would be built for stealth and agility rather than for brute strength. I designed him keeping these ideas in mind.
Of course it's just my headcanon and it's most likely just a lot of bs but hey. I love headcanons 8D

Also, yes, he IS supposed to look somewhat like Cynder. Reason: ^^^^ headcanons ^^^^
I think I did a good job in not making him a direct copy though.

In case I win, Dragon, feel free to change whatever you want, from gender to colours! He'll be yours anyway.

I also very very sneakily used the frame you posted earlier. Thanks for sharing (mwah <3 )
