Sand EELS! Yes they are quite cool. It took me awhile to figure out how to put a saddle and a person on one of those things without it looking funny. I messed up the design of the eels when I did this panel compared to when they were first shown. Their head fin is in front of the saddle instead of behind it.
The Eel rider is at a higher chain of command and has more details in his outfit compared to the little foot soldiers. I wanted the Yon Empire to have a seashell feel to their attire and I think it worked out quite nicely.
Max looks terrible in the second panel. The battle scene looks awesome though.
