Another Smaugust piece from last year. Started as lettering practice and ended up, uh. slightly hornier than I intended

🍂🔥Russet Flame🔥🍂
Here’s my first Smaugust piece! I’m not following a prompt list or anything, just kind of going with the flow. I wanted to do a blue- orange piece, and then that turned into copper over time. Keep your eyes peeled for more dragons soon :)
[ID: Illustration of an orange dragon on a blue-green background. The dragon looks at the camera with green eyes, it’s head facing left as its body twists up behind it with yellow wings folded at its sides. Its mouth is slightly opened and has visible scales, an off-white mane, fins on its cheek, and dark grey horns on its head and nose. The background and over parts of the dragon itself include rough halftones./end ID]

I think I developed a good style for drawing scale patterns on a dragon. So here are the most popular royal seawing family members that I drew to test that style out.

So, remember my old Sunny as the nightwing animus au? Well this is a late continuation of that. This is Sunny's second ever meeting with Starflight, after the Nightwings kidnap him to the volcano island.
As a bonus, here's a funny, non-canon idea for a Sunny design:
This is the spiritual predecessor of this piece, there's not much to this au, really. There's only a couple plot points here and there.

Five Dragons Not Based on Mythology
In my current draft of Dracones Mundi, out of the 40ish (43 to 45) species of dragon, 5 of them are more based on popular culture and cultural depictions moreso than mythology and stories, and these five dragons are:
The Dancing Naga - a long pink dragon who performs twirling, spinning dances through the air, based on 'hey, what if a dragon fruit was named after a dragon?' and on the puppets used at Lunar New Year celebrations.
The Sandwyrm - a large serpentine dragon that lives in the Gobi desert. It's juvenile form is based on mythology and cryptozoology (olgoi-khorkhoi or the Mongolian Death Worm) and I could have just kept this creature as a Mongolian Death Worm but I gave it a very different adult stage of life to tie in with pop culture sandworms like shai hulud from Dune or the graboids from Tremors. Just for fun.
The Grey Wyvern - a species of grey and spiky desert dwelling wyvern found in North America - the reason dragons from movies tend to be grey and spiky wyverns in Dracones Mundi is that the grey wyverns are easy to train and look really cool, so many movie makers green screen them in as terrifying beasts for their films.
The Forest Wyvern - close relative of the Grey Wyvern, this is one of those 'horns look like tree branches, wings look like leaves' dragons that appear in fantasy art. Also, I love animals who look like moss and bark so I wanted a dragon similar to a Madagascan Tree Gecko or mossy frog, a dragon that can just blend in.
The Ice Dragon - another Grey Wyvern relative, but white and spiky instead of grey and spiky. Not decided much about this dragon yet! Just there's a lot of media out there that proposes the inverse of a fire breathing dragon being an icy cold dragon, so I thought I would slide one in. It's not the only Arctic dragon (heck, might put it in the Antarctic) as I do have dragons based on Inuit folklore, although these are aquatic and sleek and don't match the pop-culture 'white spiky icicle dragon'
(image: two dragons, the first is a pale and spiky ice dragon, the second is a brown dragon with green stripes and leaflike wings. These are rough digital doodles with very few details.) Pictured are the 2 newest of the 'totally made up' dragons.
I don't think I've gone too wild with making up dragon varieties: the dancing naga is pretty much a dragon from mythology which isn't specifically named in folklore (just a pink dragon from East and Southeast Asia), the sandwyrm is loosely based on olgoi-khorkhoi and if the adult form doesn't vibe well I can shave it back to being olgoi-khorkhoi with no pop-culture references, and the three wyverns are based on strong visual motifs in modern fantasy.
I do worry that putting non-mythology dragons in the project will somehow make it less cool: I know I get annoyed when other dragon books insert pop-culture dragons in place of actual mythology, but these dragons are definitely in addition to a huge roster of mythological dragons, rather than replacing them. I may get rid of these dragons, but for now they fill up the map nicely :3

My friend @i-draws-dinosaurs donated £3 to my KoFi in the month of Smaugust which means, of course, they got a Smaugust dragon!
Being a fellow palaeontologist, this is once again a prehistoric critter themed dragon, based on their amazing speculatively evolved temnospondyl dragon designs, which I wholeheartedly love. When I got the request to draw this I was like YES! I LOVE YOUR DRAGON DESIGNS! Here is the post with Tas's temnospondyl dragons. I was encouraged to go nuts with the colour design, so I of course gave the dragon eye spots and a nice firebellied-toad-inspired scheme.
During Smaugust (dragon-August) any £3 donation to my KoFi (link here) allows you to ask me to draw any dragon. This runs out soon as September draws near, but I will have commissions open for the rest of the year (a little more pricey!)

Happy Dracones Monday everyone!
This dragon is the grey wyvern, found in desert and rocky areas of North America. Due to this animal being small and easy to train, they are actor animals for many Hollywood films, hence the grey and spiky appearance of most movie dragons.
For more Dracones Mondays ('dragons of mondays') consider following @draconesmundi ('dragons of the world')!

My #1 post of 2022
In the world of Dracones Mundi, dragons are real, so things named for being dragonlike must logically resemble a 'real' dragon - so dragonfruit being pink with green-edged scales meant I designed a pink dragon with green edged scales
Currently I'm looking at dragon-headed caterpillars, wondering if we need a dragon with 4 long tapering horns. Bonus, the juvenile form might have nubs instead of horns and resemble certain famous media dragons (night furies from HTTYD films, or in general cutesy blunt-snouted dragons). Would a dragon like this be a good idea? No idea which country it would live in, but it might be a herbivorous dragon due to head shape... possibly maybe a small newtlike dragon, omnivorous pond dweller or something?

🦋WING BEATS🦋
Sorry that this took me so long to post this- between starting my internship and leaving the original piece I was working on, things got delayed. Yes, a I know this is technically a wyvern, not a dragon, but if Smaugust gets its namesake from Smaug, who also has been a wyvern, then I believe this can count too haha. I tried experimenting some with the shading on here, going more for cell shading this time around. I also decided to add a wing pattern not based on a specific moth or butterfly, but moths and butterflies in general. I hope y’all like this one, and I hope that I’ll be back to my regular schedule shortly!!
[ID: A full body digital illustration of a blue wyvern with partial white fur covering and patterned, orange wings, flying. It faces right, its mouth open and its head tilted slightly up, blue shifting to orange tendrils fly off its lips in front of branching, brown horns on its head. Its mane starts at the top of its head, covers its lower jaw, neck, chest, arms, and most of its tail. Its legs and the base of its tail are cover in blue scales, the shins and top of the feet and toes covered in larger scales. Its legs have white fur feathering on its calves, and it has brown claws. Its tail curls in front of it, the end of it being wider and fluffier than the rest. Its right wing is mostly folded, but it’s left wing is outstretched, showing its claws on the end of each finger, and a yellow and orange pattern with eye spots stretch over its membrane. Two of its fingers don’t make up its wing membranes. Where the wings meet the skin at the base of the tail, the membrane forms moth-like trails. The wyvern sits on a textured yellow background with a white-purple circle behind it.
Image 2: Close- up of the wyvern’ s head. The purple rim lighting and details are more visible, such as its face tendril, teeth and upper palette, shiny eye, and scales. Its facial fur, especially at its chin, has lined texture. Its scales are mostly small and round, with the exception of the square ones on its brow line, and round ones around its lips. The crop cuts off at the top of its neck, and its forearm and the beginning of its fingers. The pattern’s details also are more visible. Most of the background is white, with some of the yellow peaking through.
Image 3: Close up of the right wing and upper torso. Details on the fur, and the scales and patterns are more visible. The anatomy of the hand is more focused on, its claws relaxed and pointing left, it is cropped one third of the way down its right wing, at the top of its legs, the base of the head, and at the forearm of the left wing. It sits on a textured white and yellow background.
Image 4: Crop of the tail and of the left wing. Its fur and wing patterns are more visible, along with the purple rim lighting. Its hand is hidden behind its face, which is partially visible in the top left corner. Its claws curl left. It’s cropped midway down the tail, and at the forearm of the wing, and sits on top of a textured yellow and white background./end ID]

This one is my favorite
Just look at the gold, the little dragon cherub on top, the dirtiness of the dragon skull.
I love it
