Description
I’m trying to hold onto the fantasy and mythology of my story. These days it’s difficult to find room for it with all the social conflicts taking precedent.

Anyway, this is a vouivre! French for wyvern. These guys are French (really?) Unlike GoT dragons, they make terrible battle mounts; they prefer a conflict free life and cannot be persuaded to breathe fire or follow commands. They could kill people simply due to their bulk, but fire is an expensive resource that’s created in the digestion process and is used only to roast food. They prefer to whack the horn on their nose into their opponents in the same way a giraffe would, and rarely enter fights outside defending a nest from other vouivres. They aren’t especially territorial either as flight offers easy access to new sources of food and shelter. Meaning that should a knight attempt to kill one, it’d just fly off.
I actually started this in 2013 and it’s definitely time to put it down. Back in 2013 I painted images at actual size, so it was minuscule, and when I zoomed in I was painting the pixels. You can see how it started here if you’re interested: tabon.deviantart.com/art/Vouiv…

I tried tripling the size and repainting it all, but that was a lot off work so I turned it into a phone background \o/
