Description I've been wanting to draw Galabor a lot lately but the spikes along his back were too numerous and complex to do over and over. So I've simplified his spine without making it completely unrealistic for him.

notes:
  • Even before the change, Galabor had 2 large spikes on his back between his wings. These have been around since his first conception but his wings have gotten so much bigger (as in from shoulder to tail in terms of connecting to their body) that you never see them.
  • His spinal-spikes have turned from hedgehog-like to crocodilian-like. Protecting his less protected back from attackers.
  • The fingers on his wings have reduced from 4 fingers + 1 thumb, to just 2 fingers + 1 thumb. Makes it easier to draw in excess.
  • Leg plating has also been simplified to just armored bone so I don't have to figure out whatever the hell is going on with his knees.

Galabor is a very old character that I've had since I was 6 (I'm currently 28). He's been through MANY changes but they've always maintained features that keep him who he is. Lightning bolt antlers (YES they're antlers), a star-shaped thagomizer on the end of his tail, a T-rex shaped head, 3 fingers/toes on his hands and feet, purple and gold/bone additions, and the 2 long spikes on his back.

If people DO draw Galabor, please give credit and link me to it. I'd love to see it!
