#dragon size comparison

Note
You probably get asks about this constantly, but how did you make the FR Dragon Size Comparison project? ie What's it coded in? What did you use to scale the sprites so they (relatively) match? More importantly, would you care if someone were to make an updated version (including new breeds, etc)?
The size comparison program is made entirely in vanilla, client-side JavaScript (meaning there's no server and it all runs from the browser). The scaling is extremely basic, it literally just sets the image size to the dragon's size in centimeters, divided by 2 ( so a 4 meter dragon is 200px). The wings are a second image within the same div that follow the same scaling rules. I drew all of the images myself which is why they match.
I am fine with someone else making a new version. You can even use my code and images as a springboard for your own. I just ask that if you do use what I've made, you credit to me and also let me know about it. I just added a license to my github repo: https://github.com/emcall/dragonsizes/tree/master
I do intend to update the thing myself, eventually, but have hit a roadblock:
Specifically, I want to overhaul the thing to use vectors instead of raster images, to increase the image resolution, allow a range of color options, and make it easier to add new breeds. However, for some reason I cannot get my vector images to scale programmatically. I've tried many things that never work even though I know it is both possible and fairly trivial. I get easily frustrated with this sort of thing so on multiple occasions I have just given up after trying for hours.
I haven't added any new breeds for two reasons. Firstly, if I'm going to switch to vectors, making temporary rasters feels like a waste. More importantly, though, I'm just not as interested in Flight Rising as I used to be. I haven't kept up with the game and don't really think about it much anymore. This is likely to change, as I am prone to going back to games after a couple years away, but right now I find it hard to get motivated.
If anyone has specific advice about this, I'm all ears.

Volga ref, fire dragon form included!
I decided his humanoid form wasn't dragon-y enough for a dragon-man. Also don't worry about what's wrong with him its nothing he's fine he's definitely fine.
#dragon#loz au#hyrule warriors#volga#Volga (Kheprriverse)#kheprriverse#kheprriart#i kiss his dragon form on the snoot#beloved beaked dragon#me: yea i need to design some more important characters#also me: mmm dragon :]#yes some of his melee attacks as a dragon involve his giant fucking wing-claw#for the longest time i thoguht volga's dragon form was a wyvern. how wrong i was.. (i never looked at it too closely till recently)#makes more sense hes not a wyvern (considering.. arms) but also it woulda been cool anyways xD#edit: not an accurate size comparison between forms btw. this sheet was me fucking around for 90% of its creation#i'll show him off a little more eventually so yall can gte a good idea of the dragon's size

The desert is this trio's least favourite place.
Why? You ask?
Cotton thinks the desert is super boring, just sand as far as the eye can see. She doesn't mind the heat, she is half sandwing, after all, but she still hates the desert all the same.
Thistle is half icewing, kind if self explanatory, he has a low heat tolerance, especially if it's dry. He can't even cool himself down because his "ice" breath doesn't work when it's too hot out.
Silver just hates sand. He can't stand the feeling of it between his toes, he hates walking on it, he hates how it gets everywhere, he just really hates sand.

Alicent, exhausted, being forced to present her son to Viserys, panic in her eyes, hoping he is good enough for her husband:
#I know this is supposed to be a painting of Mary and toddler Jesus. just proportion wise. but shhh. be creative. imagine he's newborn sized#I've made the comparison before but I *love* this painting cause there's such a highlight on her veil#more so than other images I feel#also her veil or at least the same type of cloth is also wrapped around her baby#the exhaustion in her posture. the ways she's wringing her hands. the worry in her eyes. her modest gown. the green accents. the ways she's#visibly pleading/praying. the way she's still holding her baby despite it all. just. everything about this#also. I think this is the type of veil she would wear around viserys. he hates that she veils around him. he knows what he's done to-#deserve it and hates how guilty it makes him feel. so even after he commands she stops she still wears sheer veils. its better than nothing#even if she'd rather completely bind her hair up and layer scarves around it.#also the gown. I love it. I love it so much. I love double sleeves. something about them is so *chef's kiss* and I think this is what her-#maternity wear would look like#alicent hightower#pro team green#pro alicent hightower#aegon ii targaryen#aegon targaryen#hotd#house of the dragon

More dragons from me and my sister's story :D
Olenaeda is the nature one with moss growing on her back, she and Cian used to hate one another and fought before. But now they are romantic interests for each other. After all they are thousands of years old.
The dark dragon is also the first one in this world. His name is War Ender/ The Black Mountain. When the story takes place, he is only a myth; it is said that the large mountain that is the color of charcoal from below and surrounds an old village, is a dragon who has vowed to protect the village/oasis. Most of the other dragons know of his existence, besides the rainbow noodle one who is very young.

what if i put my dragon OCs into the same continuity. what if it forced me to make up worldbuilding for how the vague scraps of their stories would fit in the same world. what if.
#this feels incredible. i have the vaguest of vague ideas on literally just anything more than a vague premise#anyway yeah was doodling size comparisons and my brain was like. what if#i have a mech/robot dragon too but that one probably won't fit in the same continuity#the vibes are different#blaidd's OCs

After 23 hours, I finally got this done! 😭
A size comparison between Dragons and their closest animal relatives. So, like, kinda how other primates are to us.
(Also don’t judge the animal’s names. I kinda had to make them up on the spot using different definitions of words I looked up lol. The words in the parentheses are their common names).
Starting from left to right at the largest brown one, here’s some info:
The Dragon:
They are the largest, most physically dangerous, and most intelligent out of all the Draco’s.
They are technologically advanced and live in a society. (Which has its own ways to control any criminals, but that’s for another post lol).
They are the only Draco’s left alive that can actually breathe fire.
They are the only Draco’s that walk almost exclusively on only two legs despite having 8 limbs.
They are also the only ones who have (almost) no “fur.”
The extra spikes are believed to have evolved for self defense against other dragons.
They have also evolved to be pretty much totally fire proof as an evolutionary retaliation against other dragons who’d wanna burn them alive.
Although it isn’t seen, they have 3 meter long thumb claws on their wings… which dragons fear more than the fire tbh.
They also come in the widest variety of colors and patterns. Through evolution, they became so overpowered, that color/camouflage became irrelevant.
The Brawgon:
They are the largest Draco that is not a dragon.
They live within the largest jungle/rainforest on their planet, and have a mostly vegetarian diet.
They have the strongest jaws out of all Dracos, including Dragons. They are so strong in order to crush some hard-shelled fruits n stuff.
They are purple and green to help them blend into the leaves and trees of their niche. (The planet’s main color of plant life is purple and green).
They live in small social groups like Gorillas do.
They, like many of the large Draco’s, have an uncanny ability to mimic voices, and can even form simple sentences if they learn what those words mean. Many early Dragon explorers and hunters have come back home with some tales about magical creatures which mimicked their voices, trying to “allure” them into their traps. Later, dragon scientists found out that these stories were true to an extent. They found that Brawgons hid in the deep foliage and mimicked the voices of Dragon conversations.
The Grimmogon:
They live in a wide expanse of desert like the Seringetti.
They also live in small social groups and often hunt their prey like a pride of lions.
They are arguably the most likely to attack if provoked, and are therefore considered to be the most dangerous Draco that is not a Dragon.
Their diet is mostly meat, and will only rarely substitute with fruits and other plants.
They hunt a variety of animals, including the largest, most armored land animals on their planet.
They are considered the most intelligent Draco that is not a Dragon, and have the best ability to mimic voices.
One individual Grimmogon that was in a rehabilitation center learned not just how to mimic words, but how to form simple sentences of their own, using those words. He knew how to ask for snacks by watching a worker’s child ask for them from her father.
When the Grimm was released, he taught random words to his group.
Other studies have even been able to teach some individuals how to draw simple drawings on rocks, and later, dragon researchers have found them drawing on cave walls.
Some consider the Grimmogons to be on the verge of their own Stone Age. They are the Dragon’s absolute closest animal relative anyway.
The Chittarogon:
They live in one of the most secluded places on their planet: some of the highest mountain ranges. Think the Andes Mountains.
They’re one of the more antisocial Draco’s, and social groups don’t usually have more than 5 members at a time due to lack of resources for larger numbers.
They are mostly carnivorous, but will also eat any berries and such that they can find. They are very opportunistic, and will eat just about anything edible, even an old carcass, which many other Draco’s will not eat.
Because they are so secluded and shy, the least is known about them. And since they’re so rare, it is considered very good luck to be able to see one.
The Friggon:
They live in the far southern regions of their planet, where there is a wide forest that constantly sees snow.
They again are mostly carnivorous, and will go on hunts with their small social group.
They are actually really good ground hunters since a lot of their prey are small, burrowing, rabbit-like animals that can easily see them in the air.
Though, they can and will take down migrating larger prey on occasion.
They can go the longest without food compare to any other Draco, but are also very opportunistic, and will eat carcasses too.
Not a whole lot is known about them either since they are also very secluded.
The Mimigon:
They live in the largest jungle/rainforest in the world as well, and can share territory with the Brawgons.
Their common name are “mimics” because they have evolved to resemble a highly venomous, bird-like animal that shares the same environment.
They are considered to be the most antisocial Draco in the world, and often only come together one on one for mating purposes. The male may stick around till the egg hatches, but will often dip after lol. If not, then the female usually chases him off, and she will raise the baby alone for the next 4 or so years.
They live a life mostly by themselves usually, though there is at least one place where they come together in vast numbers: the largest Dragon city in the world, which lies just within the rainforest.
Despite being so shy, they have become so used to the presence of dragons and their city, that many just straight up live there. They know it’s easy pickings for food and shelter since not many other animals would dare enter a dragon city.
They have become a bit of a pest on the outskirts of said city, and the large numbers of the mimics often result in fights amongst themselves. Resident Dragons are very used to the sights and terrible sounds of Mimic fights in the middle of the night.
It’s not the healthiest dynamic, but they have proven rather hard to get rid of.
The Bellowgon:
They live on tropical islands (like Hawaii), and, unlike their mimic cousins, they are very social, and live in large social groups, up to 500 members at the most.
They are known to be rather noisy, and often make a deep bellowing sound as a way to assert dominance, or intimidate predators.
They eat mostly plants and fruits, but will also eat insects and small animals as well.
Individuals can range from a dull blue, to a bright blue. The brighter the blue, the healthier an individual is, and has a better chance at mating.
The Minnagon:
They live in a high, tropical rainforest, and are perhaps the most social of the Draco’s. They live in large groups that can be up to 1,000 members at most.
They are the smallest living Draco’s on the planet, and spend the majority of their lives in trees, only really coming down to drink or use the bathroom.
They are almost entirely vegetarian, but will sometimes eat insect-like invertebrates.
Their habitat mostly stays the same year round, but they still will do mass migrations to different regions of the rainforest in order to try to find better resources.
Other random info (I may add to it later):
I know that it can’t be seen, but they all have 8 limbs. The small arms are just tucked away and against their chests, so they cannot be seen from this angle. You can probably see what I’m talking about on the Dragon.
Although they are all related, the larger ones with the light colored horns are closer relatives of the Dragons, and the darker colored horns are further away.

When I first finished my Amaldyne ref I started on an image of her breathing dragonfire but never finished it. Until now! Here she is my beautiful baby girl setting things on fire. Idk how I feel about the shading but I'm kinda proud about how revenant!Amaldyne looks. (Also if you're wondering why her neck is Like That it's because maintaining your form as a big hungry goop puddle is especially hard when you're also angy). This was mostly just to see how dragonfire looks when I try blending it a bit (which I don't do on the refs to make it more clear which colors go where) but I might mess around with it in the future, idk.
Anyway some Lizard Lore(TM): dragonfire is a very unique substance. Impossible to replicate (at least under current magical science), dragonfire can and will destroy everything it touches save for the dragon who breathes it. All dragons have at least a few sparks (even if all they ever manage to do is cough up smoke and embers), but a vast majority only have enough to breathe out a single stream for a few minutes, after which they'll need to stop and recover. Amaldyne is probably about average when it comes to dragonfire (although nothing about my universe is set in stone yet sooooo). Dragonfire can come in any color except blue (although there are a handful of old, scattered scraps of legend about a powerful sky dragon with bright cyan flames). It also sometimes feels more like a dragon's element rather than regular fire (although most who get hit by it are generally too distracted by the feeling of being burned by magic fire to describe the experience afterwards). Amaldyne, as a poison dragon, has fire that feels like getting doused in acid (complete with an odd, slimy sensation that lingers for awhile after). It's pretty common and there really isn't any particular significance to it. Just an odd quirk of dragon magic. Also, if a dragon's fire is somehow extinguished (methods to do so are currently unknown) or stolen (incredibly difficult but also quite possible, if you know a few tricks), it WILL kill them. A dragon won't survive without their dragonfire, not even for a moment.
#anyway i love her i love her i love her so much#i think seeing the comparison of regular-sized ordinary amaldyne vs big freaky revenant!amaldyne has convinced me that she's bigger after#she emerges from the cocoon#also fun fact about her broken horn! i've decided that after her death (when eityr finds her and pulls her from the battlefield)#eityr saw one of her horns was broken (and maybe kept the broken piece? idk she's a freak about her (only) friend)#and somehow amaldyne found out about this and consciously chose to make her horn look broken whenever she assumed her dragon form#part of her campaign to cling on to the remnants of her mortality#(can. can you tell i developed massive amounts of story and character details while neck-deep into my t/m/a hyperfixation? can you?)#(censoring t/m/a to keep it out of the fandom tags lol.)#anyway i love my little monster poison dragon#(btw dragon elements are their own whole lore Thing)#ok anyway sorting tag time:#amaldyne#amaldyne rotwing#the lizard crew#lizardverse#body horror#body horror tw#tw body horror#idk if the tag applies but she's doing the thing where her lower jaw sort of... separates..... so i figured i should tag just in case?#if there's another better tag let me know#anyway i should go make dinner now#ok goodbye.#WAIT FORGOT MY ART TAG#sparkarts#<- is it that i think it’s that#ok i’m serious now. pasta time.

,,,okay but what if WL and PK we're enemies to lovers
Yeah I know that most people think that they were immediately smitten with each other (or at least PK was) but WHAT IF

thinking about how the targtowers can be read as a pseudo-parallel to the aegon-visenya-maegor dynamic as the overlooked "spares" from a wife that the king took for granted.
#meta#≻┆analysis ┄ ◸ meta . ◿#honestly tho#aemond carries the load when it comes to the maegor comparison#at least when it comes to how he covets power#resentment stemming from his father's neglect#acquiring a dragon of impressive size and pedigree after so long of being without one#the son of an ambitious mother who champion's her children's rights of succession#this family is such an ouroboros of tragedy
