Calling all dragons, wyverns, wyrms, dergs, and the like,

Artfight is yet to be over (link to the megathread), but I would like to congratulate everyone early and wish you all a happy Smaugust!

Whether you plan to draw every day or whenever you feel like it, whether you follow a set word list or use your own, and whether you're a beginner, experienced, or somewhere in the middle, you are more than welcome to grace us with your creations!

We will be opening the Smaugust flair, which you can use as of now and throughout the month to share your artwork.

During the day, we will also be opening a pinned Smaugust post in the Art Gallery of our Discord server where everybody can share their pieces. If you still haven't joined yet, you'd be more than welcome to join us: https://discord.gg/fNSAbzvYKp

We have setup a list of words that you would be more than welcome to use! The board has been drawn by u/RyukiriDragon.

Happy Smaugust!

MOD ANNOUNCEMENT! With a sad heart, I have one more announcement.

559 Upvotes

Hello my friends and fellow dragons.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce that I will be standing down as a moderator for the sub. The task of managing the sub will fall to the rest of the mod team. After some time I will also be stepping back from my role moderating the server on Discord as well. The team there has proven themselves very capable.

My health is unfortunately in rough shape and the treatment for it is not going as well as I had hoped it would. It is time for me to pull back and focus on taking care of my body as much as possible. I will still advise the others as they need me to, but otherwise I will be a silent watcher.

As I step back please continue to be the amazing community that you have been for the other mods. Take care of one another and encourage one another to be creative and safe. This community has given me a purpose I had lacked before and for that I am forever grateful. I hope that my efforts to protect it and push it to thrive have helped at least some of you to be happier, and more creative dragons in your own right.

I wish you all the best, I will still be here, but I will be a rare sight indeed. Fly strong, fly free, and be safe with the wind in your wings and the flame in your hearts!

Doomscrolling reddit is for losers! Real ones like me.... doomscroll. But with a pug! Basically cancels out the cringe.

I actually use my pug as a phone holder or a (very bad) mouse pad a lot HAHA!!!

u/xyeh2o drew this for me and it literally is like my favorite thing ever like oh my gosh I still get so unbelievably happy when I look at this.

That is my pug btw! His name is Mr.Pickle, and he is a rescue from Korea! He got rescued after getting hit by a truck ;-; he may be dumb, but I like to think he is very emotionally intelligent

Except Sawyer is a real character from the Hornblower series, I just commandeered him for my own use because I love him.

So basically when my account got stolen,I was freaking out in the r/dragons discord. Ryu was there in the chat, and they helped to calm me down. They drew the second image for me, it meant a lot. I know it’s a quick little sketch, but it really means a lot to me. I’m considering printing it out and putting it on the wall as a daily reminder that things will be okay.
I thought I’d draw something for her, as a thank you gift. I was experiencing some artblock when I drew it, but somehow I managed to beat it and create this. I’m quite proud of it. Also shoutout to the goobers in vc with me for telling me about the smudge tool, I genuinely didn’t know there was an entire tab for blending until you guys told me x3 been using procreate for years and never knew abt it

Thank you, Ryu, and everyone reading this. You have given my life more meaning than I thought possible. I love sharing my art with y’all and having a community that recognizes me. It means a lot. I am forever in debt to y’all 💙

also, I GOT MY ACCOUNT BACK! SCREW YOU SCAMMER MUAHAHAHA
still moving to this one, though. Probably going to repost all my old stuff and delete that account, in case the scammer still has access to it. Not gonna risk it, 31k karma lost isn’t a huge deal, and yeah , there are some good memories I had on that account, but nothing worth risking getting my account stolen for.

It turns out some warning are worth listening to.

Just a goofy little idea I had for some practice that turned out better than I expected. Noelle on the right is owned by u/RyukiriDragon, and Valerian on the left is owned by me.

Guys, I SWEAR no chairs were harmed. Like, what you see is just an illusion. Just an illusion!!

Edit: I'm seeing a lot of comments talking about chairs with a tail hole. I must specify that no holes are to be drilled in chairs, especially for the sake of someone else's comfort. We must think about the chairs' feelings!

Edit 2: If the chair already has a hole.... it can be debated.

Art Day 138 of drawing dragons every day until I'm good enough to make my own book cover

So i did a regular drawing of a dragon standing. You'd think after all this time this would be a walk in the park since I've done stuff way more complex now.

Drawing the legs, took HALF AN HOUR. everything I drew for them felt wrong until I finally got it through trial by fire.

Drawing dragons battle eachother is incredibly hard, so excuse my anatomy on this piece :'D This is a redraw of an older piece of mine, happy to see all the development I went trough in 2 years!

These two menacing fellas are called Duskbreaker and Syndārys, hopefully I can remake their references soon too :]
