She's so pretty! The double frill is visually neat and very useful, nice inclusion. The shape of her wings reminds me of butterflies incredibly, as well as obviously manta rays. Hopefully she gets approved!

Thank you for all those many compliments haha <3

I got the double frills idea from Toothless from HTYD and though it might help her be able to turn around a bit faster, granted I'm not sure if she would realistically be able to move xD I'm still a bit confused on how manta rays even swim Big Smile

Her wing shape was inspired by those sting rays with the many dots :3

    I think it would, water dynamics are a lot stronger than aerodynamics, so it would likely have a strong effect as well. I think rays swim with a ungulate kind of motion, a little similar to what birds do but adjusted for water rather than air. Granted, I haven't done much research as far as rays go, so its just a guess
