originally drew this right after notn then let it sit a bit. I imagine my poor coli team was pooped after farming coli for who knows how long lol.

Captain Sycorax is older than Diavoln, but she's basically a tank compared to him.

Tips for introducing more conflict into your Flight Rising lore (that aren't just "get a generic villain character")

Your dragons should be wrong sometimes. It doesn't have to be all the time, but they should misunderstand things, lie (intentionally or unintentionally), lash out when they're stressed, or just flatout dislike someone for no reason. Everybody will make bad decisions, and it's an easy way to introduce conflict without needing a specific antagonist character.

The world should be dangerous in some way. Think about your clan, and think about where your dragons would reasonably encounter some kind of danger. Is there a lot of crime in your clan? Is there a portion of your clan's territory that has a lot of hostile fauna? Is your clan currently clashing with another clan? Who knows, maybe the biggest danger is getting humiliated at the PTA bake sale, but try to think deeply on this. Once you know what places are dangerous, you can start thinking of how your clan deals with that danger.

A 100% approval rating government doesn't exist. The larger your clan, the more likely that there's dragons who disagree in some way, shape, or form with how the clan's being run. Maybe you've got an Anarcho-Capitalist Lightning clan with a small sect of Eco-Socialists that dislike the current rulers. Maybe you've got a tight-knit family unit but there's a dragon who doesn't agree with how chores are being divvied up. Maybe you've got a monarchy but, oops, you've got one dragon who REALLY disagrees with the concept of a monarchy!

Quick conflict is easy, prolonged plot is interesting. A conflict that can be resolved in 2 hours has a lot less narrative weight (typically) compared to a plot that takes 2 weeks to resolve. Err on the side of letting things fester and intensify if you want the juiciest conflict.

Your dragons should have wants just like anyone else, and those wants should conflict. A highly ambitious dragon joining a clan with well-established authorities is going to feel stifled by their inability to rise through the ranks. What happens when multiple dragons are courting the same dragon? What happens when multiple dragons want the same den location? Two dragons with deeply opposed desires can be the cornerstone of a lot of great lore.

Sometimes bad things happen for no reason. Natural disasters, plagues, sudden global conflicts (ex: Luminax), all of these things can be introduced quickly to churn up some conflict. Be careful to rely too heavily on this though, as it can erode away at your dragons narrative agency and make things feel grimdark (unless that's what you're going for)

Sometimes dragons are just jerks. People in real life are occasionally just mean, and there's no reason to say that your dragons can't just be a bit mean too. Schoolyard bullies, prissy Karens, workplace lunch-thieves, people who cut in line, etc. Don't be afraid to make some of your dragons just a bit mean, or annoying, or frustrating! In fact, I'd argue most dragons should have at least one trait that could potentially drive another dragon up the wall.

So i’m doin like a skill practice where i learn different textures but using the flight icons from flightrising. Here three different types of textures i have done since beginning of the year. These all soon be available on my resources for people to use.

Enjoy!

Hello. Long time no post lmao.

Remember when I made that big flight rising height chart a few years ago. I still have the data sitting around and used it to make this real quick.

If you take the dragon images of each of these breeds, drop them in an art program, and scale them by these factors, then they'll be in canon scale to each other. Thanks to the way math works, you can also divide or multiply all the numbers by 2 or 4 or whatever you need so that you don't lose too much resolution doing this.

Obviously this is missing a bunch of breeds, but I don't have pixel lengths for them on hand.

my semi-regular reminder to myself of how good we have it these days in regards to genes aka looking at the scry shop with only the genes available when i joined

[lunaia-fr]

i love you… i LOVE you…… (wearing mi-amintesc by chivalry)

[lunaia-fr]

Forgot ornaments existed so I'm playing around in the scrying workshop today with potential nesting pair ideas (lol)

immensely funny to me that these are scries of the same dragon, the colors literally don't even look the same
