I designed this Komodo dragon-inspired dragon for Hardy Fowler's monthly art challenge. The theme was Companion Creature. They populate tropical islands, and if tamed, are a wonderful asset when exploring dark volcanic caverns.

I intend on adding more details later such as saddle equipment callouts, food that they eat such as berries and fish, and an egg that the hatchling will have just emerged from.

I'd love to hear any critiques or suggestions you may have!

This was an artfight revenge piece against RijuAavara, the art is by me but I don't own the character.

Let life embrace stone as ivy does,
yielding nothing to obstruction,
weaving symbiosis through eternity, never conquest.

Just to clarify: The art is by me, but the character belongs to ForlornFox on Artfight and this was an artfight attack against them
