Description
"I'm a Wyrmroost, but not of Wyrmroost. I was never admitted formally. I'm under no obligation to remain here. I come and go. I'm at Wyrmroost a lot, though, partly because my dad lives here. But I travel all over, mostly incognito, you know, invisible. I really like drive-in movies."
"I've seen a dragon outside Wyrmroost," Kendra said. "I've heard of many others. I've never heard of one like you."
"There are no other dragons like me," Raxtus admitted. "See, when I was still in my egg, a cockatrice got into the nest. My dad wasn't around, and my mom had just gotten herself killed, so there was nobody there to protect us. Three eggs were eaten. Had they hatched, they would have been my siblings. But before the cockatrice got to the last egg, some fairies intervened and rescued me. By the way, I don't remember any of this; it was told to me later. Even for a dragon in an egg, I was young when this happened. The fairies who saved me brought me to one of the Fairy Queen's shrines for protection. I was incubated and hatched by fairy magic, and I came out... unique."
"You're beautiful," Kendra admired. "And nice."
The dragon gave a snuffling, annoyed laugh. "I get that a lot. I'm the pretty dragon. The funny dragon. Problem is, dragons are supposed to be fearsome and awe-inspiring. Not witty. Being the funny dragon is like being the bald mammoth. Being the pretty dragon is like being the ugly fairy. Get it?"

So here's Raxtus! I really like him too. He's a little hard on himself though.
I have a bit more practice with dragons then humans, so drawing him didn't take very long at all. Just today's study block.

So tomorrow I'm gonna draw another scene from the fifth book. With more than one person in it. O_O
Yeah, I admit it. I actually like drawing people.
I used to hate it. I guess all it took were a few good book characters.
