Happy Dracones Monday! The Vishap

Found in the Armenian highlands, in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran and Turkey. Here we see one perched on a vishapakar stone ('dragon stone') in Armenia - these stones are often in the shape of fish or have a carving of some sort of animal sacrifice on them (often a bull), and sometimes they have a mix of fish and bull carvings.

This is just my interpretation of a vishap for Dracones Mundi - I chose to go a little more flamboyant with the design rather than make something that looked like a bull or a fish - especially as it's uncertain whether the carvings on the vishapakar are supposed to represent the dragons physically, or if they are more symbolic of summoning good luck for livestock, fishing or fertility.

I post new dragons for my project every Monday on this blog: @draconesmundi

God King and Vishap Prince

So you know those vishaps on errinyes that don't aggro unless you attack them first?

[charliescreatures]

Another beastie from Librum Prodigiosum! A Vishap dragon, this evil flying serpent comes from Armenian mythology! It is said to cause storms and eclipses, but more ominously is it known to steal children in order to replace them with its own!

Pahsiv by far is my favorite melusine in terms of design. The likeness to the Vishaps (pictured above), the way her eyes look, the colors, the intricate markings, the fact that her hair actually matches the rest of her (a lot of melusines have this problem where their hair just looks super out of place almost like a wig because the color doesn't match the rest of them at all and the karen bob cut doesn't help). Even her dress, despite being simple, works really well and is actually quite pretty on her.

what is his problem. GET OUT OF MY AREA.

An ancient vishapakar that was later turned into a khachkar, Ulgyur, Vayots Dzor, Armenia.

concept: deep-sea vishaps but they're frilled sharks

[briefbestiary]

Alongside storms, they either fly skyward from the earth or earthward from the sky.

What a diverse collection

Die #autorinnenchallenge fragt heute doch tatsächlich nach den eigenen Titeln. Denn ja, auch Werbung gehört dazu. Im Moment sind sechs Geschichten von mir auf dem Markt. 1. Totes Blut und Leere Särge Zwei Vampir-Krimis, die in Newmarket, England spielen. Das Tempo der Geschichten ist hoch und mir geht es vor allem darum, Vampire abseits des Mainstreams zu zeigen. 2. Zirkulum und Neshka. Low-Fi-Krimis, eine Metropole in naher Zukunft. Anleihen haben die Bücher bei "Beneath a Steel Sky" genommen, aber speziell Neshka schlägt einen orwell'schen Weg ein. Bell und Hassan sind meine beiden persönlichen Lieblinge und die Dynamik der beiden ist - speziell in Neshka - einen Blick wert. 3. Zeugen der neunten Dimension. Botzemann und Vishap. Die Geschichte der Geisterjäger Alfred und Eike auf der Suche nach Erklärungen. Vishap ist ausschließlich als E-Book erhältlich. Die beiden Erzählungen sind kurz (~30 k). Das ganze ist als umfangreiche Reihe geplant gewesen, bis jetzt scheint aber kein Leserinteresse zu bestehen, weshalb sie etwas hinten an stehen. #bücher #werbung #zirkulum #neshka #totesblut #leeresärge #zeugenderneuntendimension #botzemann #vishap #fantasy #mystery #krimi #scifi #autorenleben #buchtipp https://www.instagram.com/p/CpcpnDvNxVV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

neuvillette dragon form concepts. idk just wanted to draw him cunty in every form

[starcurtain]

I don't post about it often, but my favorite brand of Wriolette is definitely:

Despite being however many centuries old, Neuvillette still has significant dysphoria about being in a human body and doesn't think himself even capable of physically doing things the way humans do, so when he starts experiencing attraction to Wriothesley for the first time he's just like

"Oh dear."

But maybe Traveler is right? Maybe Sigewinne is right? Maybe it's time to truly start living the life he's been born into? This is his body, racing heart and trembling, drippy palms and all, and maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing to just... give it a go?

His mind is made up. Neuvillette is going to express his interest to Wriothesley in a mature, respectable, and perfectly normal manner!

But, ah... how?

Meanwhile, Wriothesley is growing ever more confused at Neuvillette's odd behavior by the day, but like... it's an endeared sort of confusion. Dragons are just kinda weird like this; it's all perfectly logical. Neuvillette has Wriothesley's unwavering support even if he does keep swimming down to the Fortress of Meropide in his full suit and cravat at 5am in the mornings and scaring the shit out of the morning shift gardes.

Wait. Wait. Run it by Wriothesley again--Neuvillette wants to what--?! The consent can only be described as enthusiastic.

Still, the ultimate takeaway is that Neuvillette doesn't just learn how to love a human, but also learns how to love himself, the strange vishap in smooth human skin that he's become.

MELUSINE CREATOR MEETING PAHSIV

MELUSINE CREATOR MEETING PAHSIV ‼️‼️‼️

PAHSIV PAHSIV PAHSIV YIPPEE!!!!!!! SHE'S SO CUTE

one day, you're taking a rare trip to the upper world with Foul Legacy, needing a bit of sunlight after spending several weeks down in Merusea Village. he sweeps you up into his arms and takes you to a distant forest, all surrounded by trees and mist and moss, where not even the Treasure Hoarders dare step in. but to you, both protected by an Abyssal monster and hidden from a cruel, unforgiving world, it's lovely and fascinating. Legacy's steps are several of yours, so he can easily keep up with you as you explore the foliage and fantastical reed pipes. his lilac ruff of fur bristles when he hears the unmistakable howl of Riftwolves, taking your mitten-like hand and gently tugging you away from the old, rotted willow that looms in the distance, wandering towards a lake dancing with wind and floating globes of water. it calms in your presence, though, and you're dancing among the lakelight lilies when your antennae twitch at the pitter-patter of small, stumpy feet

"Creator! Creator! Pahsiv!"

a Melusine with brilliant fuchsia eyes happily darts through the grass, tapping her feet in a little excited jig as she stands before you and Foul Legacy, whose wings flutter in surprise. she skips in a circle around you in particular, examining you at all angles but never touching as her tail wags. after a moment you stick your hand out to shake, and she stares and tilts her head before extending her own and giving you a light, friendly smack on the palm

she's a Melusine even stranger than you- or perhaps, like you, she's not a Melusine at all. but she's friendly and curious, with a sharp interest in tidalgas, and whatever fear she had of Foul Legacy evaporates when you explain that he's a friend, dancing around and allowing herself to be picked up and placed on Legacy's shoulder opposite of you. he's strong, after all- carrying two not-Melusine is nothing to him! you gift your new friend some tidalga you were carrying, much to her delight, and she pats her mittens over the shimmering patterns across your body with a knowing look in her eyes

she doesn't come with you when you leave Erinnyes, but somehow you know that she'll be there to greet you if you ever come to visit again

[gold-rhine]

he's SO FUNNY about it btw, like his character stories have so much angst about like oh.... he's forced to pretend to be "normal human"... it's so hard for him.... ppl are so judgemental....

but he de facto makes NO fucking effort to pretend to be human, doesn't even try to "hello my fellow humans" like zhongli does, he refuses to lie, he goes "LMAO archons wear FAKE visions to BLEND IN? imagine being such LOOOSERS"

he could have lied that he's an oceanid or smth when ppl saw that he's too long living for a human, but tho he doesnt disclose hes a dragon, he doesnt give ppl any explanation AT ALL. when asked if he's a trial demon bc ppl didn't know what the fuck he is, he was like no, i'm not and i don't actually care about trials, it's just 9 to 5 for me, so ppl were like ????? High Justice doesn't give a fuck?? it's a springboard job for him??? huh???

like he created so much PR problems for no fucking reason just bc he refuses to compromise even a tiny bit on pretending to be smth he's not. like wow ppl didn't trust you at first? when you obv act nonhuman and refuse to explain shit? asdfghjkl
