Thorn Graphic Novel Re-Draw Speedpaint // Wings Of Fire 

eYyYY! It’s the girl, it’s T H O R N
When I re-read The Brightest Night in graphic novel form, was totally not ready for Thorn and had completely forgotten (if I could ever properly appreciate at all) how awesome she was
(Also was shocked to see a completely different and dare I say ICONIC side of Sunny?! Like wth I forgot so much of that book)
BUT HERE WE GO!
Happy International Women’s Day!! For the occasion, I of course wanted to draw Thorn since she is arguably one of the absolute most iconic strong female characters in the series. Actually overall in the media, I feel like it is really really hard to find characters like Thorn that can be both vulnerable and caring, and extremely loyal and compassionate, and genuinely strong women. Seriously it’s so hard to find characters that I can pinpoint as quite like this, and I swear to god she is just ICONIC SHDJDJSKDJ
Oh and also dragons with freckles. Freckles. Dragons. Freckles. On. Dragons. Might be one of the best things I have ever drawn, even if I don’t do it all that often. Though I do sometimes kind of h/c (headcanon) Blue and Mandrake possibly having them because I want to. (Bonus points if Blue were to have subtler freckles, if he was blushing they’d become extremely obvious) ((We love him))

So thank you so much for watching! Gotta love ma gurl, scratch that my QUEEN Thorn, and I’m pretty happy with how this turned out! And as I said, happy National Women’s Day! Whether you’re a women or not, regardless of your gender I hope you had a great day :)
Bye!!
