Hi and happy STS!! What inspired you to make a dragon 'field guide' and what are your favorite dragons to work on? And do you have a favorite/least favorite dragon depiction in mainstream media?

I was inspired to make a dragon field guide because that was the sort of book I loved to read growing up: Dugald Steer's Dragonology, Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastic World Around You by Holly Black and Tony di'Terlizzi, Dracopedia by William O'Connor - I loved illustrations and fantasy and a 'scientific take' on dragons.

The only problem is, as I grew older I became fussier and more knowledgeable, I would start to nitpick my favourite books relentlessly. Then I turned my attention to being creative instead - instead of going "harrumph, this isn't scientifically accurate" I could just draw my own dragons the way I liked them. And eventually I read so much mythology and studied so many crocodiles that my crocodile-dragons-based-on-folklore project is now about 40 illustrations in with 69 planned dragon species! It's still a long way to go to get finished but I am trying to push out 1 illustration a week! :)

Favourite dragon depiction in mainstream media:

I'm not sure if this counts as a 'dragon depiction' as they aren't necessarily 'depicting dragons' but like. Ikran from the Avatar films are such cool designs and I adore them.

I also really like Godzilla, my faves being Monsterverse Godzilla and Shin Godzilla (DEFINITELY dragons, dragon king of the sea...)

Least favourite dragon depiction in mainstream media:

I am HUGELY not a fan of the Night Fury from the HTTYD movies. Snub-nosed, weirdly retracting teeth, weird spiny lobed things on the head. Also I am biased because I really enjoyed the HTTYD books as a child and this looks nothing like Book Toothless. I'm just not a fan of this dragon!

happy sts!!!

do you have any aus for your wip(s)? if not, what would you be likely to make?

Already answered here (link)

Apologies for having like 3 accounts haha! My story writing goes on @bloodmoodtrash usually!

However when I answered that last question I forgot that I did make necron versions of Harriet (my mad scientist) and Victor (my vampire) from the Bloodmood story because I really like necrons and I had necron brainrot for a while.

Reimagined as Necrons from the Warhammer 40k universe Victor (who is full of bloodlust as a vampire) becomes a flayed one, which is a necron who wants to become flesh again and tries to do this by eating meat and clothing themselves in the skin of their victims ('flayed' as in they flayed people and wear their skin). Harriet is a Cryptek, which are necron scientists/wizards.

Their Necron AU names are Har'khet and Vykhor. Har'khet has done some cryptek engineering to make a 'tame' flayed one. Personalities are more or less the same, silly dynamic.

URGENT HELP🚨🚨🚨🍉🇵🇸

Hello,

How do you do ? I hop to be in a good condition.

This is my special campaign

We hope to help us by donating or sharing to others.

Every donation makes a different even if it a small.

As you know, the war began on October 7 and lasted ten months. During this period, we were unable to obtain food, drink, or treatment because we did not have money.

There is no source of income for the family at the present time, so we are unable to buy food, clean water, and medicine, especially after we are afflicted with the ongoing infectious diseases spread in the north like Hepatitis C disease.

Our house has been damaged a lot since the beginning of the war. We are from the north of Gaza and we are still in the north and have not displaced to the south. We displaced 10 times from place to another seeking to safety .

We hope for your help and support, even if only a little.🙏🙏

I reach out to you today with a heart heavy with both pain and hope,💔🥹 seeking your help to save my family from the horrors of war in Gaza. We are a family that includes women and children, living every day under the weight of fear and destruction. 🙏 I write to you because I believe that humanity and compassion are our shared strengths, and when we unite, we can achieve miracles. ❤️ https://gofund.me/7a794018

personally I do not understand the obsession with revealing whats underneath the mask a character wears all the time. as far as I’m concerned that mask IS their face. do NOT peel them. that’s the same as the beast from beauty and the beast turning into just some guy at the end
