Giadrome redesign 2.0!

My first Giadrome design's purpose was to give it distinction from Velocidrome apart from coloring, and this time i leaned harder, giving it more features based on the snowy tundras it lives in! Floofier coat, bulkier build and sharper wingclaws, which it uses to slide across the snow like Barioth!

I also ended up using the old design as a basis for Giaprey, which i think works well!

"I should have just gone bare-legged if I knew I was going to be wading this much, but that Kulu gear is literally the only armor I've got. Great for the desert and jungle, sure, but definitely not swamp wear. But who am I kidding, I'm too stubborn to swap for anything else.'

"Right. Context. The local ecologist wanted a report on some monster species that had been pushed from the Frost-laden Wastes, so Toru and I went out to go find some. Though I guess it's more accurate to say that they found us first. A pair of Giaprey—about my height, a little on the skinny side, and apparently more interested in chatting up a storm with Toru than fighting. I suppose it makes sense—these guys are supposed to be more social than their regular cousins.'

"That does make me wonder how Toru feels about all this, however. He's never really seen any of his own kind since...well, since we left Schrade. I know these two aren't exactly the same, but...who knows? Maybe this will be good for him. I hope it is."

A collage! Sorry this is so late! Four images, one of melynx, aptonoth, giaprey (white velociprey), and kelbi! Close up of each below cut.

Holy shit, that’s such a cool type combination. I love it.
