In some cultures it is considered to be good luck to have a plentiful figure...

Plus, one has to control the quality of those fortune cookies... It's an exhausting job, I'm sure, but someone has to do it.

Time to bring another batch, just to tie her over until early pre-lunch. It is a big no-no to work on an emptly stomach: it's a new policy from corporate. And yeah, directors are certainly not exempt.

I had to do it.

In case you're lost, let me bring you up to speed: This is Babe, a dragoness who will appear in the upcoming movie "Luck" streaming in AppleTV . There is not much information about her, but so far, we know that she has the role of being the CEO of Good Luck Inc. and Jane Fonda will lend her voice to this powerful-looking business dragoness. You can check out the trailer for the movie right HERE!!

I first saw this dragoness back when the teaster of the movie came out (maybe around 2020), and I was immediately excited. And back then, I had thought about drawing her, but the amount of references were only a couple of frames and pretty low quality. So I let that slip, hoping for the day where we could see a better view of this powerful-looking character shown in the latest trailer.

Also, she appears to lead a group of pigs, accroding to some of the still frames I've seen. So it would only make sense for her to act a bit more pig-like if she wants to create a good rapport with her employees! Indulge a bit more, Babe, my dear, you look absolutely famished! How about you stick around for dessert as well! Can't let perfectly good food go to waste. It's bad luck, from what I've heard!

The funny thing is that in general, I'm not a big fan of taurs. I know many people enjoy the idea of having twice as much place to distribute the weight, but for me, I just have too many questions about anatomy, and "suspension of disbelief" just doesn't cut it. If you [dear reader] do like centaur-like body plans, all the more power to you. And yet, when a character has two arms instead of two sets of legs, suddenly I am back into the idea. Which is the case here, I believe. A friend pointed out that she probably has two pairs of arms, since in most scenes in the movie she appears to walk only on her rear legs, in a bipedal fashion. Plus that fancy velvet tunic/robe has sleeves...

And so, my mind is automatically on board with her desing and therefore I couldn't resist drawing her with a few extra pounds stuck to her frame. I gotta say, between Diane Foxington and this dragoness, I've been loving the portrayal of strong powerful, confident female characters (I just hope that she doesn't turn out to be the villain in the end!)

It could also be that my mind just interprets her as being a "long dragon" and you all know that I have the greatest weakness for eastern dragons...

Whatever the case, I cannot wait to see more of her, either on the big screen or from the impending wave of fanart. Do your worst, furries!
