Illustrator’s comment:

“Figuring out how to include ‘star-shaped components’ in a way that was not uncool was the ultimate task. When I had the idea of making the hole in its core to be star-shaped I thought ‘OK, where do I collect my 1000000 yen [for this idea]!?'”

Illustrator’s comment:

“Originally, it was a dragon that stands with its back stretched, but because it’s ridden by Sevens Road, I designed it as a mount dragon that leans forward. I’m sure that this is terrible for its hips and it likely doesn’t like fusing too much.”
