First and foremost, this piece was drawn by as a commission for me. I have permission to upload this piece and I own the character/species portrayed. All praise CL!

This piece was done to convey her species as egg laying vs live birth as well as show the difference in Riarkraa's age in the ref sheet vs how she'll look when fully grown.

The size correlation of the pup in the egg is a touch off, but it serves the purpose.
