Kelpiedragon and rider

Original character. From my fantasy stories, there are people who lives off a collection of small islands that spread across a giant river land, and they travel from each island to another with the assistance of the kelpiedragons. The kelpiedragons are ...water-horses, but bigger than land horses in size, and they have scales and wings. They are like ducks, in a way. They are able to swim in the river, gallop on lands, and fly in the sky.

This is Gadeon, he is one of the young kelpiedragon riders, and he loves his job and he loves his kelpiedragon, too : )
