Skyrim dragons are very sexy. I’m trying to get back into just doodling in my sketchbook so I have been painting ink dragons. Lots and lots of ink dragons. Here we have Alduin, Durnehviir and an ancient and a frost dragon.

Day 31 -- Merriment

When it came to harvests, festivals, and feasts, dauric hospitality extended beyond all species barriers... even if the scale of their homes at times proved limiting.

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.

Day 12 -- Moth

The common sulphur birdwing moth had meat that roasted up so similar to poultry it was colloquially referred to as 'deep woods chicken,' slightly gamier than domestic bugs but well worth the hunting trip if you were a good shot (or possessed of your own wings).

My little Kobold is all finished! What a cutie!! I put so much love into this and I am so proud of how it all came together. Sculpted by hand with @monsterclayusa and cast in urethane. You can preorder a blank cast kit to finish your own lil goober this Friday at 2pm PDT and a second batch will drop next Friday, same time. There are new tutorials available on the free tutorial page in my shop. You can also check out my process for creating these masks by supporting my p a t r e o n ❤️🐉 #missmonster #missmonstermel #sculpture #dragon #mask #monsterclay #kobold #dnd
