The nephew of queen GlacierAnd the icewing protagonist of the second Arc in the wings of fire series (icewings have lots of spikes, that's how you recognize them aside from snowy colors on their every scales). Starts off harsh and cold, with a short temper, but does get better as the story unfolds.
Unfortunately, the Arc's ending gave Winter (and other characters) the short end of the stick, and since the next Arc focuses on another continent (literally), him and his cast are seen little, which means they don't really get the opportunity to shine again, and their potential development happens off screen.

Icewings having lots of spikes, I wondered how I would make one into a pooltoy. Turns out rounding the edges and portraying many spines lines to add density works. Of course, a ref of the character helped.
It's quite impressive how one skilled enough can turn some edgy character design into good beans without losing the character's identity, Winter being perhaps the darkest/edgiest protagonist of Arc 2 (though he really needs hugs). And I have to say that while I'm probably the first to draw him as a pooltoy (with his full draconic form, since "DonHP" did a portrait and "Rusty yeenor" made him an inflatable deer), another artist inspired me with how rounded they made the character design of some wings of fire characters.

Pretty much. It’s the best way to make something like an iguana without weakening the dorsal seams. On something like Godzilla, you’re kind of stuck with weaknesses in the dorsal plates unless you want another dozen valves though…
Double the size, quadruple the area, and thus quadruple the strain. On the other hand the bigger something is the easier it is to use the far stronger lap and butt-and-tape welds on major chambers…
I’ll try to avoid excessive jargon.
