What if: Xera

I wasn't entirely sure what to draw when I started this picture. The original was a hypnosis-inspired pic, with the girl (nude) swinging a pendulum in her hand. I liked the pose, but mind control is not one of my fortes.

It felt like ages since I drew Lady Xera, and thought of giving it a try. Only, I didn't have a clue as to what kind of outfit to have her wear. Normally, her red-and-gold dress is conservative, and shows her noble rank, but also hides her body (in most versions of it), giving her a regal look, even though she lacks authority and confidence due to her short size - she's 5'2", making her the shortest female character I created. However, when her dragon heritage awakens, her body undergoes a 'second puberty' of some sort, making her curvy and tall enough that Lupa - whose lupine form is nearly 8 feet tall - is 'two heads shorter' than her.

I thought at first to draw Xera wearing a swimsuit, but looking back at the result, it makes me wonder: what would have happened had Xera grown up differently?
