Pixel Drawing Draw Steel: Wyvern Ambusher.
I like to think that these wyverns are more bat-like hanging out in the tops of trees in rainforests and other large forests, waiting for unsuspecting prey below.

Book 60 of 2025: Fool's Errand by Robin Hobb.
The 1st book in the Tawny Man Trilogy.

I'm really happy with how this one turned out. He seems like a fun little wyvern to possibly tame... Definitely not about to go into my game. What should his name be?

Pixel Drawing Draw Steel inspired by @maxhamm.bsky.social. Xorannox is super complicated, but I think he turned out okay. Was definitely a challenge for not touching pixel art in a while.
