Pencils for Sparky the Dragon, faithful aerial steed of Princess Adrienne Ashe.
There was quite a lot to puzzle out about drawing Sparky. From her powerful upper body, to her incongruous kangaroo legs, to her horse-like snout, and her freaky bat-wings, ol' Sparks was a quite a mythological conundrum. So much so, I opted to work out her bizarre "dragonatomy", on a separate piece of paper, later to be reunited with the Princesses Three through the miracle of Photoshop.
I am forced to admit, drawing helicopters is a breeze by comparison.
On a profoundly trivial note, nitpicking keen eyes will notice that I drew English saddles hitched around Sparky's midriff, as opposed to the Western-style saddles, she is usually drawn wearing.
I know it's a fantasy kingdom and all, but I just don't see medieval-esque fairy tale knights making use of American saddles. 
A horse-like muzzle works for me here, since the dragon is supposed to be a mount, and horse-like muzzles have been described for supernatural creatures before.
