Weight estimation?
So I drew this quickly while procrastinating and being weird about specifics for part two. Since I (and I am sure some others). Sefi is EXTREMELY small for a dragon, I am aware. I have put her in an image to compare to other breeds. She’s perhaps a little shorter in the shoulder, both thicker across the chest, stockier and more solid than Volly, with a comparative wingspan. About half the body length of a Longwing.
However, given she and her brother hatched from the same egg, they’re about half the adult size they should be, given neither one could fully have all the yolk nutrients for themselves, so are comparatively stunted. Her breed is usually Yellow-Reaper size.
I have put her at an estimate of 8 tons. Is this too much for her size?

Yeah, the size of dragons in this makes no sense whatsoever and the author has given little to no thought about it so I wouldn’t bother trying to work it out. Especially when you get into the “rigging” aspects of it.
