help! help! I've been deified...... this is wilderfir, my ggg godsona [:
he's an odd soul, super kind and overly friendly but with an air of restlessness that people often find hard to ignore. how ironic, to be the god of exploration without the ability to travel the world!!! stuck in his realm, wildy can't help but live out his adventures through others. he will give you advice you'll wish you had heard years ago, and in return he only asks that you share the stories of your travels with him. in terms of personality, wilderfir has boundless excitement, asks far too many questions, offers to help even when he can't, and gets a little sulky when anyone mentions being able to roam freely. he's good friends with most of the gods, although miss mitternacht and bauhauzzo can find him a bit much at times. he gets along best with huzzle and click clack, sharing their imaginative nature and love for dramatics. he is around 20-30 feet tall standing on all fours, excluding his horn. his area of the grove is near milldread, serving as the cool to milldread's hot hot hot, with winding rivers, campsites, rundown cabins and LOTS of forest. you as the player can enter his realm through a hollow halfway up the biggest pine tree, via some frankly unsafe stairs.

🐲WISH EVERYONE HAVE A HAPPY LONG(龍/Dragon)YEAR
Tumblr media
Wish everyone good luck in the year of the dragon and happy holiday!!
This is my first time to draw such big dragon, I kinda worried but surprisingly it's okay(ˊᗜˋ*)
2024 is the year of the Green Dragon(青龍) and also the year of the Wood Dragon.
※青 originally meant blue in ancient times, but in painting colors, if blue is mixed with a small amount of green, it is called cyan (one of the three subtractive primary colors), and it has multiple levels.So the dragon I drew is closer to blue><
【Historical Artifacts Reference 】:
Princess Xincheng新城公主 of the Tang Dynasty (634-663)
Princess Xincheng新城公主 was the youngest daughter of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in China and was born to the eldest Zhangsun Empress.

Again not a dungeon meshi reader/watcher but every time I hear about that laois guy I get reminded of how my system had/has a hyperfixation on dragons so intense that we got that big fancy dragonology book and we treated it like the damn dragon Bible for like years
Now, obviously, we understand that there's different interpretations on mythical creatures, and no one interpretation on a dragon is necessarily gospel, but that multiple interpretations on the classic tale of beasts of scale and fire are completely valid and to be expected!
however if you call an Eastern dragon a coatl I'm going to come to your house and slaughter your family
#THEY'RE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT#yes they have similarities but coatls have WINGS typically and dont usually have other limbs. they're more serpentine birds#meanwhile Eastern dragons (Chinese depictions for example) don't typically have wings and are more lizard-like#like Mushu !!!!!!!! Mushu is an Eastern dragon#and then there's drakes and wyrms. which are entirely different bc they can't really fly#drakes are more like draconic horses or dogs. no wings but four limbs and a tail with a reptilian appearance#wyrms are more serpentine with no limbs and no wings. though i think some interpretations of wyrms give them like.. two forelimbs#then there's wyverns. wyverns have two legs and two wings instead of the typical eight limbs (four limbs two wings)#(i also perosnally hold true to the interpretation of wyverns with poisonous stingers for tails but that's just me cause i think its cool)#..... how much of this is just me talking abiut dragons#explodes.#oh yeah and obv there's the HTTYD interpretations which i adore! they're interesting#the designs are so fascinating and from what ive seen seem to have some science behind them#and arent just the typical western style of dragons. which nothing wrong with the western style it's a classic ofc#but it's still fun to see some variation!!#and ofc there's WOF#which holds true to Western dragons in simple anatomy but has its own variations and of course its own lore#then there's. fuck i forget the name but it's a fantasy story based in China i believe#i loved it so much it was so cool#anyways it had a dragon character named Seryu. I love Seryu. he my favorite#anyways i liked the interpretation of dragons there bc iirc it held true to ummmmm some Chinese mythology involving dragons#cause Eastern mythology of drahons is . so much diffetent than Western#Western dragons are commonly very monstrous creatures‚ usually very animalistic#they tend to embody the Christian concept of greed/gluttony hence why they're so typically monstrous/villainous#which i find interesting but i wont get into that#meanwhile. i wanna say Eastern dragon legends more revolve around the idea of a dragon as more of a godly/fae-type creature?#that's probably a poor comparison but that's how i interpreted it. agian im probahly wronf about all of this#im some weirdo rambling about dragons on the internet. dont trust me explicitly#i need to get more dragon mythology books#HELP I REACHED THE TAG LIMIT I DIDNT THINK THAT WAS POSSIBLE GOOD LORD OKAY I'LL SHUT UP NOW

Gotta love how all ur dragons are inspired by the chinese ones so they are very fluffy and feathery
idk if it's chinese dragon inspiration, some dragons are clearly western. it's more like I wanted to preserve their hair and any fur details in the dragon form
thanks anyway lol
