#Dragonling

[blockedragon]

Yeah, yeah, we've all thought of an Alfiq LBD, very funny, I love it. But I'll do ya one better! This is a Dragonling:

"The fairly common dragonling is a worthy opponent for any adventurer. It is capable of casting a number of powerful spells and healing itself in combat. Those who speak their language tell us that beneath a veneer of maddening riddles and non sequiturs are minds of great wisdom. Despite all their merits, dragonlings are less grand than their lineage would suggest. Explorers, sages, and archivists have argued for centuries over whether the great dragons of legends still live, if in fact they ever existed. The people of the Alik'r Desert insist that their vast plain of sand is home to a multitude of the Great Wyrms. Granting the nomads their prosperity for tall tales, if there were a forsaken land where the great Dragons still fly undisturbed, it would indeed be the Alik'r Desert."―In-game description "The Iliac Bay area has stories of such things, but so far all have proven false. The eggs turned out to be eggs of other reptiles. The small dragons were merely oversized lizards and no relation to true dragons." -There Be Dragons (a Skyrim in-game book) They are sapient and mortal... Meaning one could theoretically be chosen by Akatosh as the Dovahkiin!

Sometimes, you gotta keep the little ones from getting too rowdy, usually to much complaining.

Felt like bringing back the dragonling from day 9!

Fan Artist Emoji Asks

🎢 Which of your images would you call your wildest ride?

💔 Is there an image of yours that broke your heart?

Aw, hey, thanks for the ask! :)

Oh that first one is tough since I've been doing art for so many years. I'd say one that stands out is a portfolio image I worked on back in 2010 (when I was much better at art) that had soooo much going on with lighting, water reflections, subsurface scattering, etc., and I got a lot of feedback from other artists to help me improve it.

As for breaking my heart... Hm, a lot of things do that, I guess, since I'm usually disappointed when I can make the thing look like it does in my head 😅 But if we're talking what images I got feels from... Okay that's tough, too, because I don't usually get intense feels from my art. I'd say the one that makes me the most 🥺 is this one of Waxer and Boil in a post-Umbara fix-it setting? (I'm not sure the image will display because the terrible site I use for hosting images on AO3 has been down off and on all day 😑)

Thanks again for the ask! <3

This series is written as excerpts from Dawntreader's Guidebook, a novel written by the trezlin/drakling Tavra Fangrender under a pseudonym to avoid persecution by her own kind. The second entry is on her own people, the trezlin. Paper textures are from textures.com. Transcript Though I have written in Gren, I cannot assume that all who obtain this guidebook are Gren. It's unlikely to speak the tongue without hearing of my people, but who knows what may happen in the future. Records of these sorts may be valuable, so I shall document regardless.

While we have many words for ourselves, I'll choose the most scientific: we are draklings. It's more accurate to prefix us with 'forest' or 'nature' draklings, compared to those of the sea or desert, although few of us would ever bother to specify. We arescaled upright beings, like all draklings, and sport short horns and protective scutes on our cheekbones and backs. Every individual is different, but most males are of taller stature than females and are heavier built. We are collectively shades of green with different striping patterns based on differing regions of family origin.  Using the Verdant Valley, the homeland of my people, as a point of reference: Southwesterners, such as myself, have forked and mottled striping patterns, even those beyond Vandell. Most valleyfolk and northerners come with more defined stripes. Southward, in and beyond the Scarwood, live those with spots. In-between dale and Scarwood live a folk with a mixture between the former two of broken spots and stripes. Those of the most notable nations are known as the Gren, a strong-willed, prolific, and powerful people. They have spread across much of the Verdant Valley, forming multiple distinct nations and governing bodies. Namely, these are Vandell, Suwehb, Jamgadir, Thirpof, and Manhomir. Our realms are perhaps only matched by the most clever of dragons and draklings, as I've not yet discovered a people more advanced than our own in all aspects of a society, except perhaps the wind kingdoms of the mountains. Our culture is vast and will vary greatly in detail, but in all nations, it is the nobles who lead. Although they hail from long family lines of high standing, knowing how to handle a spear and order men in war is what makes them nobles above all. Commoners take up the menial tasks that keep society running. Thanks largely to our religion emphasizing unity among Gren, peace is mostly had across the realms and violence rarely exceeds raids of greed or vengeance. Trade is common in our society, with goods produced in different regions transported and exchanged for those in others. Uniting all of the Gren is the belief that we are born of Yggorum, a deity that made us in his image to fight against the corruption in this world that is the bloodthirsty dragons. Those of us that show prowess with our innate nature magics are thought blessed and often become 'druids' under Yggorum's guidance. Due to these beliefs, dragonslayers are the most revered of all walks of life, followed by druids. Taking a dragon's life is the ultimate goal as Gren - an opinion I do not follow.

I had a hard time deciding on what I should do for the prompt Exotic and my theme: Puella Malediction but I decided to go with my gut. This handsome gentleman is Torinn Silverscales, a dragonling sorcerer of Nesolame. Never a dull moment drawing him...especially on the interstate.

Excited to set up for Halloween Xspo for the weekend. See you in Spokane!
