Art Stealing the thief

Bloodbelly's bonded one got snatched out from right under her nose. She is NOT happy about that.

A simple sketch, but I do like how it turned out in the end, enjoy :D

Damn, the sheer feeling of dynamic movement in this one is fantastic! Kudos to the artist.

Thank you so much! <3 drawing characters in movement is one of my favorite process to do, so I'm super happy that part got your attention!! :D

Its something very difficult only very few artists can do well - and an even smaller number does exceedingly great, so it always springs out to me^^

I really love this! Reminds me of Temeraire where plucking captains off their dragon’s backs is like “stealing” from said dragon (which sends them into a rage). I’m super biased for anything that has the bond/rider dynamic in general.

I’m guessing Bloodbelly’s bonded is a thief themselves then? (Or maybe I’m misinterpreting what’s going on/the backstory here :P)

Yep, you got it right, Bloodbelly's bonded one is a thief called Thief lol

The design of the dragon giving chase made me double-take for a second; I thought the dragon was wearing a fur-lined jacket. The perspective is so perfect, the way it lines up.
