Who says that smolder can only have brother?

What could have been…

@Smart Heart  
I had to look up the argument I made as to why it made the most sense from a storytelling standpoint, since it had been forever since I last made it, haha.
 
Basically, I felt that it would allow us to explore another aspect of his personality, characterize him further. I also felt it would be interesting, considering his prior relationship with Spike, and how that would interplay with the sibling-like relationship Smolder and Spike had developed.
 
I also felt that the other dragons basically had no characterization, just unique designs, so I felt it would be kind of a lazy cop out to have one of them be Smolder’s sensitive brother.

Thanks!

I love this drawing! <3

@Jonny Manz  
Why is that?

@Smart Heart  
I would argue (and in fact did, multiple times) that Garble was the only one who would make sense as Smolder’s brother - I would hardly call it a Shyamalan twist, let alone stupid.

@Smart Heart  
idk he did write “the happening” and “lady in the water” and “devil” and “the last airbender”

@neo4812  
Even Shyamalan wouldn’t approve of such a twist that stupid.

oh yeah everyone thought that billy was smolders older bro cause of there similar colors. mlp pulled a “Shyamalan twist” on us
