I'm wolfing out over here

Hello Sister, said Dog.

How much you have changed after you went to sit by the fire with the Others, said Wolf.

How little you have changed after I left the Old Pack, said Dog.

You have baubles jingling from your harness, and your coat has grown soft to invite stroking hands, said Wolf.

I have an iron collar of deadly spikes, said Dog, and my teeth have not grown dull.

You are sleek and well fed, said Wolf, and then she asked, won't you share a lamb from your flock, so that I may prosper this bleak winter, as your sister?

I will not, said Dog, for the Others have given me the sacred duty to guard them. The Flock gives its body so the New Pack may keep its strength and use it to nurture the next generation. I have made my pact to uphold this cycle. You have made no vow, and run from your mother's flank to scavenge the middens of my New Pack.

I will give you not one lamb, Sister Wolf, and if you wish to take one, we must fight, pronounced Dog.

Love, grief, and magic in the mundane

He takes a lot of inspiration from Animated Wings’ Starflight. I liked the sock markings, and the way they styled his ‘mane’; gives him a disheveled nerd look which I was hoping to encapsulate. His color scheme was taken straight from the graphic novels, but I’ve given him white horns as opposed to black. I’m not sure where that convention arose from, but it’s been around since the earliest days of the fandom, so I suppose this is my tribute to that.

He’s thin and doughy with narrow shoulders, and I imagine he has horrible posture and a permanent slouch. The body of a dragon who prefers to stay hunched over his scrolls all day.

He has a face that might be considered handsome, in a dorky sort of way, with his tousled mane, large snout, and woeful, worried eyes.

As per tradition, he has a star motif inspired by his name, although it isn’t very obvious from this angle. He’s supposed to have a four pointed star on his chest, his back, and another one for his ‘side burn’ markings. He also has large, bat like ears, which is an artistic choice I’ve seen others use that I’ve grown fond of.

And some bonus sketches :)

A kiss with death
