I had no idea today is the birthday of a good friend of mine who is also an excellent writer. He is one of the prolific writers over here on Sofurry so many of you already know of him. He is, of course, :IconOf the Wilds: and I absolutely adore Dragon in the Dungeon and the characters featured in it!

To those who are not familiar with said work, Valaranyx, or Valar for short, is one of the protagonists of a very long book series that you can find here: https://www.sofurry.com/view/368475

He only appears later on, but he is such an adorable hatchling ^^ So I really wanted to draw him in a cute pose because he has a really cool color scheme :)

Artwork is done by me

Valaranyx belongs to :IconOf the Wilds:

I had a ton of fun working on this one, and although it has some mistakes that I wish I could go back and fix, I really, truly wanted to get this done during his birthday no matter what it takes because he really deserves this little tribute for all the wonderful work he's done so far.
