Starflight ✦

a little scruffy like a scardycat, but considered pretty and fit looking for a nightwing of his era. Starflight was hatched on the brightest night hidden from moonlight, so in my design, while they are visible- his stars, tears and the moons on his wings do not glow like on other nightwings, but are darker!

as a librarian he wears a moonstone chain with beads for each of his friends and always has a wooden tablet as his scroll on hand. i imagine he would wear some kind of wrapping to protect his eyes to light sensitivity post injury, but he doesnt need it all the time.

im not sure how long it's gonna take me to make them digital and post them but i have all my tribe headcannons already planned out in my sketchbook. but for now im gonna try to do more protags!

Smaugust week 1! Many dragons, and a lot of blue. I will always follow the rules of "anything can be a dragon".

Tried drawing some dragons with my least favorite colored pencil colors. I can always tell the ones I never use because they're long and sharp and pristine (no bite marks). I guess I must be warm-blooded because it's mostly blues, teals and purples :p

This is by far the most unfaithful 'redesign' I've done so far. But that being said, I don't call myself a butcher for no reason.

I don't enjoy how TNR brings back dragons from the original series, as it's set far, far into the future the fact that those species still exist and are practically unchanged is well, weird to me. The fact that NIGHTLIGHTS still exist is also extremely odd to me, as they are a hybrid species they should be long gone due to the fact that Nightfuries have been long extinct (Toothless is an outlier).

This redesign is mainly just me having fun tbh. That's what most of my redesigns are. it's less what the og could've done better and more what I would find more interesting as a concept. There's quite a few tidal class dragons in the HTTYD franchise, yet there's not really any that are a 'main rider dragon.' This is one part appreciating Tidal class dragons and one part an ode to the book series.

RAINWINGS ❀!! very obvious bias for them on my part - we are doing design notes for now, expect countless headcannons on their culture and life etc

-generally based on large parrots and pythons! in a fantasy sense, they are covered in scales that look/act as feather plumage, able to bristle and be moved for display or emote as body language together with their frills! their face looks like a snakes, able to scent heat and taste the air with tounge flicks

-they also have larger longer 'feathering' near the base of their tail that looks like macaw tails which helps them make tight turns when flying. their bird like wings all together make them agile in short bursts, but they do terribly when it comes to distance flying

-they have an elongated front thumb, large hook claws on their wings, and their hind talons look like a bird's for their arboreal lifestyle!

Fruity dragon character I designed for myself! ☀️🍉

His name is Fiji and he’s based on pitaya, kiwi, starfruit and watermelons <3 Also has a little pet friend named Banan 🍌

Design overview:

- those tail thingies are not scales, they are soft growths. to hide them, Fiji just shakes his tail. then they fold up and look like folded scales

- two growths on his colorful tail are white

- has soft growths on the neck which look like a starfruit. they are even softer and more delicate than the tail ones

- ears are kiwi-like 🥝 for some reason they also remind me of kiwi with chocolate, which makes me want to eat them all the time xD

- white eyelashes, pink eye irises

- wings on the top and bottom have different patterns - there’s a kiwi pattern on the top and a pitaya pattern on the bottom

- the pawpads are starfruit-like 🐾

- horns always look beautifully shiny and shimmery, like a very bright and delicious dessert

- Fiji has a watermelon on his back! 👀✨

- has a pet friend with a talking name, Banan. he’s just a handsome guy. very funny, can replicate the sound of any animal and is super huggable :D
