Had an incredible emotional roadblock today on what to upload so I'll just drop these wyvern shifter lads for yall.
They are @Zeralex's characters, but I finalized their designs and made these ref sheets almost exclusively for my 🌟size chart🌟 aka the forever project work on in the background. They are a great bunch though, I love these guys 😫❤️
It was fun coming up with a wyvern body type that looks agile and doesn't crawl like a lot of wyvern designs tend to. The silhouettes in the back are Hämy in both forms and his father Xhatiorus, since those two tend to be our frames of reference heh. Hyuga has Hämy's brother Zurak there as well since he's friends with Hyuga.

Rakuzah, the widowed father of the five brothers, can hardly be described as a fatherly presence. He has raised his sons like a drill sergeant and continues to treat them harshly in adulthood, especially after his wife's passing.
Rakuzah is not old or weak by any standards but a recent battle resulted in him losing his eyesight almost completely. The disability barely slows him down but makes him very dangerous for other dragons in the community - getting bumped on the shoulder by the spiky hide of this big boy can lead to a nasty stab wound - so his sons try to keep him on a good mood and be his eyes if necessary.

Hyuga is a nice kid. The only adolescent and the only one of the bunch to have lived a decent childhood. He's young enough to have avoided the calamities that gave his brothers their numerous scars, and his oldest brothers look after him to keep Rakuzah's influence on the lad under control. Hyuga even managed to befriend a non-wyvern in the dragon community yay!
