"Go on then, try to conquer the Hells. Shop around, beg, borrow, and steal, Raphael. Exhaust every possibility until none are left." — a conversation that could probably happen between Raphael and Mephistopheles in the past, the topic being Raphael's ambitions.

I tried to project some features of the devil we know on his father to show that even though they're related, they're still very different monstrosities. Also I picked the blue color for Mephisto for artistic purposes (okay he is canonically red I suppose, let's just consider it an option)

This illustration for The Nine Pea-hens and the Golden Apples from Lang's Violet Fairy Book absolutely delights me.

Just look at it! This scene is described in the text as "out flew a dragon, who snatched up the empress just as she was returning from her walk, and carried her off". But later in the story it turns out this is one of those fun Eastern European dragons (Serbian in this case) who, while definitely being a dragon, also lives in palace and rides horses. So clearly illustrator Henry Justice Ford went "well he may be a dragon, but he's also a gentleman".

And in consequence this woman looks less like she's being abducted (which she definitely is in the story, she used to keep that dragon imprisoned in her cellar) and more like she's leaving a noisy party with her grumpy introvert boyfriend.

As much as The Nine Realms sucks absolute ass, I fucking love the snifflehide. The colours, the obnoxiously large nose. Ugh. Let me pet it

I've always praised the fact that Toothless' wings actually look large enough to carry his body:

I mean LOOK at that! I can easily imagine those allowing him to glide and flap hard enough to get him off the ground.

...

THUNDER'S wings, however...

They look so thin. And his body looks so HEAVY. How do those keep him up??!
