#Banescale Female

[symterya]

long time no post; I have been struggling with art block which is super cool when you have commissions to finish. :') but here are some more dragons that have been completed in the past month while I go back to kicking my daemon to get their act together. ✦ charybdis - based off of charybdis featured in the epic, the odyssey, the other half of scylla and her sister, charybdis in my lore prevents others from entering eaeor easily. moreover, she is what keeps others from so easily leaving beyond the eldritch workings moving in and around eaeor's port and its waters. sometimes donning a mortal form and a bestial form beyond the whirlpool she forms constantly, she is known to devour those yalyna deems worthy of destroying. ✦ sopdet - still working my thoughts on sopdet in my lore, but she will probably be a harpy warrior within my harpy lands, featured in my elders tab. ✦ tsetseg - a harpy whose two heads speak portents of various futures, each head foretelling different outcomes, but never telling the one asking which is correct. two options are given, two sides of the same coin, a choice. perhaps they come to the same end? perhaps knowing may change it? or prove it. one cannot say, and tsetseg never will. she makes no promises on if one is satisfied with her tellings, only that they exist, and are but two strings found in a web. two paths in a forest, with many yet to go.

one head speaks almost only in song verse, while the other communicates mostly in riddles. ✦ grendel - grendel is a birthday boy! he is a bit unknown in my lore and I have yet to decide if he is a portent and monster, or if he is just a lonely orc, lol. could be both, it's always hard to tell. but he's pretty and gets those brown and greenssss. I don't have as many with this palette but he's cute and I love him.

Allegro #57409469 and Legato #57409404. big wife and small husband. sketched and lined in March-April 2020, finished around June-July of the same year.

image descriptions under the cut.

[image 1: Allegro, a water-eyed female-pose banescale with carrot orange savannah, charcoal tear, and orca wraith genes. /end id] [image 2: Legato, a nature-eyed male pose banescale with berry red savannah, saffron orange safari, and lead skeletal genes. /end id]

[image 3: a digital art 4-panel comic page. each panel is the same size and makes up a horizontal rectangle. the first shows two of the clanbound banescale eggs, brown with ridges and hornlike structures, sitting on grass with a blue sky background. superimposed are two boxes which read 'We survived' and 'You and I'. The second panel shows a young Allegro from the chest up, the top half of a wing is visible. She is stretching towards the top right and some lines and notes like sheet music indicate she is singing. A text box that reads 'And those who survive have a duty' sits in the top left of the panel. The third and fourth panels are sections of the same scene, two banescales - Allegro and Legato, a smaller banescale, cuddling with their heads together in the third panel. a textbox that sits partially behind their heads reads 'Our duty is to do our best to keep on living'. the final panel shows the bottom half of their bodies, and between their feet are two eggs which look like a mix of the banescale ones and unhatched wind eggs, brown ridged with green swirls. some bamboo sprouts up from the bottom corners and reach up into the third panel. superimposed at the bottom of the fourth panel is a textbox which reads 'Even if our lives are not perfect'. At the bottom of the page is an attribution that sources the text as a quote from Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage, by Haruki Murakami." /end id]

Video Description:

A video that opens with the text "Hey you might want to turn your volume down in" and a countdown of 3, 2, 1 happens, followed by the text "Here we go!" The video transitions to the chorus of the metal song "TROGDOR THE DRAGON" by Strong Bad. Trogdor is represented a green Coatl fire dragon with the Intense Attraction Marva eyes (a round eye with heavy eyebrow) and Flame Aura apparel. Trogdor is shown in a series of lush green scenes and villages throughout the video that slowly turn orange as Trogdor burninates everything, including two "peasants", a Fire element Pearlcatcher and a Fire element Banescale dragon who are shown to be very annoyed with Trogdor's antics. The final image is Trogdor burninating a cottage scene.

Was curious on exalted progens, so I collected some data!

There are 269,376 exalted progens at the time of checking, the earliest is a male tundra, #53

139,948 are male, 129,428 are female, 10,520 more males than females

271 are Abbies

2 are Aethers

38 are Banes

38 are Boggies

81 are Coatls

74,401 are Faes

658 are Gaols

71,071 are Guardians

6 are Imps

63,217 are Mirrors

291 are Nocs

32 are Obbys

252 are Pearlcatchers

161 are Ridgies

1 is a Sandsurge

315 are Skydancers (mine are in here lol)

42 are Snappers

188 are Spirals

57,994 are Tundras

138 are Undertides

21 are Veils

and 158 are Wildclaws

This puts Faes at the highest, and Sandsurges at the lowest

Also, the first exalted progen imp was leveled to 25! I thought this was a neat fact

This means that we can confirm at the very least, 2,693 progrens were breed changed, just to be exalted anyway (I am one of these people I am guilty of this) This of course doesn't count people who changed them from one plentiful to another plentiful

In order, from least to most, is:

Sandsurge (1), Aether (2), Imperial (6), Veilspun (21), Obelisk (32), Banescale and Bogsneak (38), Snapper (42), Coatl (81), Undertide (138), Wildclaw (158), Ridgeback (161), Spirals (188), Pearlcatcher (252), Abberation (271), Nocturne (291), Skydancer (315), Gaoler (658), Tundra (57,994), Mirror (63,217), Guardian (71,071), Fae (74,401)

Numbers are subject to change between submitting this post and it being posted, and I'm also not 100% sure if blocked player's dragons will show up or not, so I don't know if that skewed the data at all

I am desperately curious over who made their dragon a Sandsurge just to yeet them

I also thought for SURE Tundras would be the most exalted progen, with how people shit talk them, but they're actually the least exalted plentiful progen! Fascinating!

Lore Under Cut!

Brash and violent, The Red Queen rules Wonderland with an iron claw befitting of the rage-filled legacy of her breed. She clawed her way to the top of Wonderland’s protective forces as a young dragoness, but time and betrayal warped her sense of justice. The Red Queen stole the rule right out from under a dragon she once called sister, slaughtering those who opposed her and sending the rest into hiding. But there is a catch. It has been prophesied that one day, a great warrior shall fall from the sky and return peace to Wonderland. A peace that can only be restored by the death of The Mad Queen. And she would do anything to keep that from happening.

🥀♥️🥀

The White Queen lies in a garden of her own making, shielded from all who would wish to do her harm. Here she mourns a happier time in Wonderland, one where she did not need to hide from her dear sister. Once, they had worked tirelessly together to bring peace to the chaotic land, uniting those who sought fellowship under one banner of harmony and sanctuary. But her sister had wanted more. Her sister wanted it all. The White Queen could not bear to hurt her, so she ran instead. Believing they’d been abandoned, many turned to her sister’s regime instead, including her own beloved…

Design Notes

The Red Queen gave me so much trouble picking out her genes, especially the Tert. I wanted something that matched her eyes but didn’t clash with the rest of her. Then I found that Ruby Paisley had those blueish accents to it and wanted that to match too, and Caribbean felt like the perfect middle ground. Plus with Flameforger it looks like it’s actually casting light onto the shiny parts of Paisley.

The White Queen’s trouble mainly came from my refusal to make her double basic, but still predominantly white. For some reason FR insists on making like all the white genes turn grey, even though we have an entire range of greys to use already. Like I get there needs to be some grey to make it a gene, but there’s a difference between making it white with grey (like weaver) and making it just grey (like glimmer). Her Tert is Pistachio because the actual branch part is just a smidge lighter than using one of the grey-range colors.

I don’t often break up my lore’s found families, but when I do, you better believe there’s gonna be ✨drama✨

They’re tragic and I love them both so much
