Appreciation for critters that look like they're from a spec evo project:

I got something scheduled to be finished by the end of march so I’m a bit distracted rn, but here’s a redraw of a chameleon adopt I got! They’re based on the genus brookesia, the leaf chameleons: The only major change I made to their anatomy was to switch out the ‘Espio’s nose horn’ for a forehead spur brookesia chameleons sometimes have, so I could still get some of that original silhouette without the horn... Not many chameleon species in the grand scheme of things actually HAVE a nose spike! Anyway she’s a sword fighter who weilds a sabre and uses a fighting style similar to traditional sword duelling (a little bit like modern sport fencing), where you armour your sword welding arm and turn side-on to minimise your profile.
