I used the prompt eldritch for this one but I think this drake veers slightly more whimsical, "high fantasy" vs eldritch. I’ll probably circle back and revisit this design at some point but figured I’d post this one anyway

🐠 Daily Fish Fact: 🐠
Leafy Seadragon: The name is derived from their appearance, with long leaf-like protrusions coming from all over the body that serve only as camouflage. The leafy seadragon propels itself utilizing a pectoral fin on the ridge of its neck and a dorsal fin on its back closer to the tail end. These small fins are almost completely transparent and difficult to see as they undulate minutely to move the creature sedately through the water, completing the illusion of floating seaweed. Popularly known as "leafies", they are the marine emblem of the state of South Australia and a focus for local marine conservation.

Daily fish fact #384
Common seadragon!
Unlike their seahorse relatives, they lack the prehensile tail which would allow them to grasp onto objects! They instead float freely, relying on their camouflage to not get eaten.

Funguary '24: Silver Leaf Fungus | Lilac Seadragon
Week 1 | Week 3 | Week 4
Coincidentally we have a dragon in the year of the dragon just a few days shy of the Lunar New Year! 🐉 Based on the timing I posted this, it's also Valentine's Day ❤️
Silver leaf is actually a fungal disease caused by chondrostereum purpureum that viciously attacks the Rosaceae family that includes roses, apricots, plums, peaches and almonds. It also attacks deciduous trees like maple and hawthorn. The name is derived from the silvering of leaves on affected hosts, and the disease is often fatal. The fungus is as widespread as its hosts and can be a serious parasite to living trees.
Inspired by the properties of silver leaf disease and wanting to do something in spirit of the year of the dragon, I came up with a poisonous seadragon species. Halfway through I realised the pokemon Dragalge is basically the same concept but mine is quite a different take, I hope!
Really struggled with the rendering. I gave up multiple times and kept sighing on how to fix the shading because no matter what or how much I edited, I wasn't satisfied but I had to move on. It was fun coming up with a design and its background, though!
Each #Funguary2024 I do will be depicted as a sea creature and designed like an encyclopedia page. Funguary is a yearly drawing challenge in February hosted by artist Feefal to turn fungi prompts into characters.

The Sea Wyvern is a colossal giant of bio vents and jets living much of it’s life on the wing and out at sea. Its massive wingspan will glide it through calm winds and treacherous storms.
The Sea Wyvern will never touch land, not even to build nests and ventures no closer than coastlines.This dragon is one of the few live bearers and will give birth in the air. A chick’s first and life defying obstacle is taking to the wing as soon as possible. For those chicks who do survive, which is few, the mother’s back will provide a place of rest as it builds up it’s wing muscles. Female’s tails are tipped with bioluminescence as a guide for it's chicks.

Hiiiii! If you have a minute, look up both Phyllopteryx taeniolatus and Phycodurus eques! (Not necesseraly for a critter drawing just for looking at pretty things, because either would be a nightmare to draw probably with the shapes and colours.)
But they look gorgeous none the less!
I've been made aware of them by @murkyquirky and they are gorgeous! *v*
!!!! I have so many minutes to look at those bad boys!!! I LOVE sea dragons SO much aaaaa. Sea horses get all the fame but their cousins are so superior imo. Like, legit literal sea fairies 🧚♀️🐉🌿 (also, you can't tell me what to do (/j) SO! DRAWINGS BE UPON YE!)
Phyllopteryx Taelionatus aka Common Seadragon or Weedy Seadragon (ha!) & Phycodurus Eques aka Leafy Seadragon (my personal favourites)
What's funny is that, unlike bugs which are super symmetrical and rigid, these bad boys are 1000x more fun and easier to draw.
Cus I can lowkey bullshit my way with leafy-like fluid shapes, splash on a little colour and badabing badaboom, you got yourself a Leafy Boy 🌱🐉
(if i scheduled this right and if tumblr cooperates, i should have a little extra something posted after this 👀)
#thank you both for bringing these cuties to my attention#i love sea dragons so so so much#bugs are a pain in the ass to make because of their ridiculously intricate patterns and symmetry#(which is why i love making them. they force me to quiet down and really pay attention to everything)#(they're super out of my comfort zone which is sometimes super necessary. plus they are super beautiful)#(as someone who works with colours it's great content for my visual library so to speak)#these guys tho. super super fun and easy to make. very colourful. incredibly fluid. silly looking#very friend shape#anything that vaguely resembles leaves and flowers has my love tbh#anyways ignore the tags i am typing this at [not fun hours]am so who knows how it will look in the morning#seadragon#darya does art#darya answers
