Most sharks have a nictitating membrane that shields their eyes when they're attacking prey or are under attack themselves...This crazy amount of detail that I find myself adding to every piece is the main reason my artworks take so long. OCPD is a b*tch sometimes...

Hey VikasRao I know it been awhile since we last talked but I talk about a story idea I have?

I may have asked you this before, though if I have I don't remember doing so, but do you have any plans to compile and publish Draconology into a book? I would certainly purchase it if you did.

VikasRao's avatar

Thanks! That's the dream

How plausible is the New Zealand Waitoreke (South Island Otter) in your world of Draconology?

VikasRao's avatar

Considering it's likely just a misidentified feral animal introduced by Europeans. not at all

I feel like it's a descendant of the Saint Bathans Mammal.

It's unlikely to have survived that long, especially with the cooling of New Zealand
