Sirithiliel Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) So in my own personal mind and private fantasy world, I have 6 dragon species and 2 subspecies that i just slot in with their main species for simplicity sake. I've finally been getting around to working on their designs, and thought I'd share. I'll add the rest as they come along. But basically my 6 types are: Fire (Subspecies Magma), Water (Subspecies Ice), Earth, Air, Magic, and Tropical. Each type has their own preferred habitats and attacks. In my world though, there is no 'this dragon is a red fire breathign dragon, therefore it is EVIL!'. Dragons can be good or evil no matter what they're type is, it's not so clear cut and defined as it is in D&D where a dragon's scales depict if it's good or bad. So an adventurer in my world would be wary of any dragon, no matter its color, until they were able to get some information on it to find out if it's friendly or not. Some species are naturally nicer than others, but that doesn't stop there from being evil ones of that type as well. I started out with a basic mouse-drawn mock up of each one in flight showing their differences, and i'm working on more in-depth pictures of each here's the most recent version of each dragon located elsewhere in this thread Spoiler Edited August 24 by Sirithiliel 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintybeard Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Interesting. Any Oriental/Serpentine types? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirithiliel Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Not on the continent these guys live on. I have a couple of dragons on a secondary, smaller continent that I don't do as much with, composed of 3 types: The oriental style, a feathered dragon, and wyverns. They're not as well fleshed out just yet here's the feathered dragon type: 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitterwolf Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I like the feathered one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirithiliel Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) here's the Air dragon, just a little sketch that I'll refine later Edited August 24 by Sirithiliel 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintybeard Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 All very nice. If you have any drawings of the wyvern I'd very much like to see them. (True dragons are very, very rare in my world.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirithiliel Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Sure. They're not your classic dragon-like wyverns. This is a really old picture, but the design concept is still the same. I'd probably adjust it a bit when i redo the designs of that continent's species. But they have more mammal like features, a furred chest they can puff up and no scales, instead having either leathery skin or a thin coating of fur. They dwell in a massive swamp that spans a fair portion of the island they live on 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintybeard Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 A very nice picture with a thought-provoking colour scheme. Thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirithiliel Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 here's the simple beginning work on the earth dragon. They're very heavy, armored, and their powerful front wing muscles provides the flapping power while the second pair of wings are more for lift and stability than actually flapping. They still cannot fly for long periods of time due to their large weight 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Dog Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I like varied wing types in dragons. Any insect type winged dragons in mind? Like butterfly or dragonfly wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like butterfly or dragonfly wings. yes. They live on a tiny island away from everyone else (think Hawaii or Philippines style). They're very small, only about a foot long. Everything on their island is dwarf sized 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirithiliel Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) here's the magic one! I'l go back and refine each profile page of the dragons later, but for now the quick versions are good enough magic dragons are very rare, and quite powerful. As their name suggests, they are heavily in tune with the natural energies of the world and the ambient magic around htem. They can be any color, some of them can even change the color of their scales at will, but most seem to lie in the purple range. Their breath weapons vary wildly as well, with some having fire, others ice, and even stranger things like a fear-causing black smoke or a blast of raw magic that warps the world wherever (and whoever) it touches for a period of time Some of the observed types: starry pattern (pictured), or composed entirely of dark shadows and able to disappear into the darkness like a phantom, and even a skeletal one who apparently didn't want to stay dead when he died.
