Chapter 41 by Ai-R Ai-R

What's next?

Arms Crossed → Open Dragonwings

...Hm. Well... it could go a little poorly, but I feel a little bold, so I decide to steer thigns a bit and replace 'Arms Crossed' with 'Open Dragonwings.' To my surprise, my phone seems to stutter for a moment, and then a few other phrases change to accommodate.

The light ahead of Lilian either get sbrighter, or her hair gets shinier, but otherwise it remains the same color. Her eyes turn a richer gold, and her armor returns to a mostly-cloth format with plated arms and legs. I wonder at that, and then she sprouts a pair of pale white horns, each no longer than her face is tall, and seemingly formed of multiple concentric 'plates' that taper into a point.

She then sprouts a large appendage which ends in a claw, covered in black scales. This in turn then grows a white membrane, with the expected... well, technically fingers if I remember correctly? In the batlike sense, anyway. Finishing things off, she also grows a long serpentine tail - also black-scaled - which extends out of frame.

Beyond the obvious features which steal the show, Lilian's blues have turned black, with the occasional red trim, and the room has shifted subtly again such that I'm now looking at a corner behind her, instead of a flat wall. Along with at a table-lamp that feels amusingly out of place.

Alright, that didn't go as poorly as I feared it might. Dragon-girl retainer, get. I wonder what's up with the solitary wing, though?

[AN: Seeing that Lilian's Prompt is available for public use, I've also adjusted the phrases I changed to make this work. They are not valid targets (excepting what was there already, such as 'noble military woman'), and here for book-keeping purposes. It should also be noted that I went over this twice while using controls, the first time to maintain a consistent pose, the second to eliminate a break in the line of her wing.

Speaking of said wing... getting it to try and draw the other one probably isn't worth it unless we somehow make her face the camera head-on again (which I tried, and failed at, already because the AI is better at drawing wings from that angle.) I could probably have made it happen using a different image as a reference, but the rules I operate under maintain that I have to use only the image being modified, and any single-step 'children' of it, as reference....

...as for why I went to so much effort? This kind of change was immediately where my brain went to when I saw the 'dragon-knight' phrase, and so I just wanted to get it to work out as best as I could. If you were wondering what it would look like without my additions? Just look at the previous chapter. No, really, it barely changed anything other than the small details of her armor, or it would just zoom out a bit. Very annoying.]
