Some trad avatar of Yako (front) and his dragon Zyphir (back) I did back in 2004.

Yes, Zyphir is deliberately misspelled and meant to sound like Zephyr.
They were DSA Pen & Paper RP characters. Despite there being no dragon riders in DSA (as far as I know, anyway). But you know, I was already a dragon nerd back then, so everything had to be connected to dragons somehow.

I redraw these character in 2017 just for fun
