Description

Custom arrojara species commission for :icondragon-lady-nfld: !

Not only is this the last of my commissions now but also is my first showing of the new arrojara design which I have spent the last year refining!

Its been a very hard design to nail, as I wanted to combine only certain avian attributes to it and still keep them different enough to not be identified as a bird, and I hope it has pulled off. Compared to the last version (Rabia Reference v.3.5) the design is hopefully much more in proportion, and the whole anatomy is more powerful and predator-like. I have added these oval-shaped organs on the wings trailing edge and you can see by the sketches that they act as camber control which allows arrojara to 'sharpen' or 'open' the wing shape to gain different types of flight. The organs themselves are attached by ligaments that can be tensed or relaxed and the organ itself can open and close. The organs specifically monitor variables in the air currents which make the arrojara highly responsive to wind currents etc, they are very agile and perform extreme acrobatics.

Also new to the species is retractible talons. They are resonable runners and to allow them to achieve this the talons are best kept out of the way and also stops them from getting blunt as they are rather massive in size.


Will hopefully have Rabia a new reference this year too once I have all my trades and gifts out of the way :D

Ahah. I really love this species. They seems so slim and fast. Doesn't seem very strong but surely dangerous. Even if their arms aren't very strong their legs with claws seems very devastating to any prey with most of the armour.
Their teeth will destroy prey.
They are perfect hunters.
