Description

So I read a series of books (the first is Hawksong, but I can't remember the rest), where two shapeshifters from different races were having a baby. The cross was a cobra and a hawk.

This isn't fan-art, because it looks nothing like how the actual child turned out (to the best of my knowledge), but it got me thinking...I wondered what a bird and a snake would look like if they were to cross and I came up with my own explanation. To be honest, my favorite part of this drawing is the tail. I love how it turned out. It would also, as my fiance pointed out, serve a great help in changing direction while in flight.

I'm pretty pleased with this drawing. I still need to work on feathers, as they lack detail, but overall, I think this turned out rather well.

Oliza's wyvern form was first describe in Falcondance, but she had her own book (though I feel the series should had ended differently). Besides the fact that this wyvern is lacking her legs and talons, she looks nice. I love the head most of all, it really fits with the idea that this wyverns could almost be like modern dinosaurs (though I view them kind of more like raptors).

I love her wings.
