First one I worked on for quite a while, maybe 2 hours. Wanted to do a concept of Apt as I see it and added Kalam for scale, a bit close but I was working on a very small paper, sketch is about 4 inches wide.

Also a random flaming dragon, one can never have enough dragons...

For a moment there, when I read the thread title, I thought you had drawn a picture of our own Apt on a dragon which would have caused me to question your sanity and right to move freely among normal people.

But now that I see what it really is I only have one thing to say: Bloody awesome!

Screw you all, and have a nice day!

I like your take on Apt, very different from how I imagined.
Sort of insect-like. Very good.

Rejoice. For very bad things are about to happen

I'm flattered but my legs aren't nearly that long. Also I don't have... that many spikes.

Love that take on Apt... wonderfully alien/insect/reptile... i think you should remove Kalam and submit that for the webpage.

Not a critique, just a question... do the books ever give her a tail or was that artistic liberty?

Reminds me a bit of the alien bugs from Starship Troopers.

I think its awesome, though I seem to vaguely remember the Aptorian was described with a longish flexible neck? Its been way too long since my last read of the series and this is kickass regardless! i like how precise your mental image of apt is. I can see panek happily riding on her back grinning while she goes on a rampage. very very cool.

Really love Apt. Have had a very hard time picturing a 3 legged demon, until now.

Perhaps, then, we should invent some other term – something innocuous, that we could use freely.’ ‘Good idea. How about … kittens?’ ‘Kittens, sir? Why not? Now then, our carriage full of kittens is not something that can be abandoned, is it, sir?”
