I give you, the cranial and mandibular skeletal elements of the Western Banana Dragon!

This was an utter JOY to work on - I want more anatomy commissions!! More more more! A $75 commission, which gave me more time to put in details and do some more research on what would work realistically. This is a patently very mammalian skull, with a lot of reference from Brown Hyenas for the dentition and zygomatic arch (cheekbone). The temporalis and other jaw muscles would attach to the underside of the horn core, since the horns get in the way of the muscles attaching to a temporal ridge along the top of the skull.
