Being favored by Viren didn't end so well for Claudia either.

PREPARE FOR GREATNESS!

So apparently, 13 hours results in this? (It’s supposed to her her s4 design but I really did not wanna draw a bun 🙃

Fan art of Rayla from The Dragon Prince, and my first drawing using coloured markers rather than coloured pencils. Really enjoying using markers, the colours come out a lot more even in tone (although Rayla's skin tone is off, much darker than I intended.)

Years ago in xadia, on the night of a meteor shower. A traveling group of elves stopped to watch the cosmic display. Then a bright light shined from deep within the wilderness, catching their attention. In the direction the shower was going. Following the light they found a beautiful purple starry dragon egg. The moment they picked the egg up where it sat, the shower ceased. Perhaps the meteor shower was a result of the egg's appearence, or maybe the stars tried guiding someone to it? But none of them had ever seen a Star Dragon egg before. Not knowing what to make of it. The group brought the egg to a place known as the Star Scraper. Where the celestial skywing elves reside. The celestials were stunned upon the discovery of a Star Dragon egg. They housed vast histories and records. But none could find any confirmed evidence of any Star Dragon in Xadia, past or present. If there was no known record existed. They wondered with this egg's appearence was a sign. Good or bad, it was impossible to say. The elders decided to hope for the best and protect her egg. Everyone who knew of her egg was sworn to secrecy. The presence of a Star Dragon egg is unheard of. As star magic is the rarest and most powerful of the primal sources. The celestials feared what others might do if they knew of it. Dark mages might seek it's untold power, other elves could fight and insist on defending it themselves. Only the dragon king and queen were told of the egg. For years the starry egg was kept safe and secret in the Star Scraper’s Catacombs.

Then came the day King Avizandum met his end, and the egg of the Dragon Prince was thought destroyed. In such a dark time the elders wondered if the egg's coming from the stars was to fill the void left by the king and prince. But how to hatch a Star Dragon, they did not know. it could've been decades, even centuries before the egg could hatch. Luckily only 2 months had passed, and a single star came down from the heavens and struck the egg. The celestials watched in awe as a spiral of magic danced and swirled around the egg. Then after a flash of light the egg cracked. A purple starry female dragonling emerged from the egg. The celestials decided to bring her to Queen Zubeia. Wondering if perhaps the stars foresaw the king and prince's demise and sent her egg to help. For her to hatch soon after could not have been a coincidence. Maybe she could be the new heir to the dragons. Being a star dragon she could have great power and potential to be a strong leader. It also doesn’t help that her colors have always struck them as regal. Zubeia however was still in mourning and was not engaged into the idea. But she accepted their idea. They decided to name her Regina Pulsara. Although when the Dragon Queen became sick and dying. They worried as Regi still had great deal of growing to do before she could ascend as queen. Of course the Dragon Prince was brought back alive and well, and Zubeia recovered. Regi was no longer desperately needed as the next heir. The celestials decided to bring Regi to the Storm Spire to meet Zym. The two dragonlings became fast friends. It was great that Zym would have a friend his size and age to play with when Ezran couldn't be around. Although given the previously presumed instability on the dragon monarchy. The celestials talked with Zubeia that for the next leadership of the dragons. It would be reassuring if a king and queen would succeed her. There is no arragnement or betrothal set. But Zym and Regi do have PLENTY of years ahead of them for their friendship to grow and become close.

Regi has lived at the Star Scraper her entire life. With her existence still of great secrecy. Regi is restricted to the underground catacombs during the day, and is only allowed out at night strictly within their sight. She has been made aware plenty of times of her rarity and why she must stay secret. As a young dragonling she is very playful. Regi loves to stargaze and see the heavens from which she came. She also loves the other primal sources. She sees the moon as a friend to the stars, as they take turns shining in the night sky. In the sky they shine, the sky was considered the heavens as well. The sun is a star itself, just close up. The ocean is like the sky but down to earth, it shares whatever color the sky is and reflects the stars. The earth isn't the most corresponding of primal sources with the stars as she saw. But the earth had fireflies. Creatures she loves, seeing the insecets as flying stars on earth. Regi also loves music. Whatever they might play at the Scraper, she'll either be dancing around, or be being put down relax and sleep. She can be rebellious and manages to covertly sneak out of the Star Scraper at night. Although Regi is usually happy and healthy. Sometimes during her stargazing the celestials notice her watching the stars, in tears. For she was lonely. Being the only known Star Dragon, she wondered what it was like for the stars to be surrounded by so many others like each other. Regi would relish on the day she would meet another star primal. A dragon, an elf, cuddlemonkey, unicorn, even a starweaver spider. Any at all would make her overjoyed. Minus a certain fallen star. Regi would be more than happy to finally be allowed out into the vast world and see the lands the stars see every night. Also more reason to hang out with Zym. It won't be confirmed for some time but maybe, just maybe Regina Pulsara could be the next queen of the dragons.

Regi will become a powerful archdragon when she grows. While most of her is still a mystery. Some of her magical powers have already come. When someone is tired or in need of strength, she can place her paws on them and transfer energy to them. Giving them a magical or physical boost. That's why they gave her the name Pulsara. Regi can also see glimpes of the future, though see has little control over it. Sometimes when she touches someone or something, when she dreams, or even randomly in the day. There's also her cosmis breath. At night it’s hard for her to get lost, as if the stars tell her where to go. Regi can at times also tell what others are thinking or feeling. Her most recently gained power is portal making like Stella, she's no where near mastering yet though. When using star magic her eyes change and shine to look like stars themselves.

This is her as a dragonling during the first saga. An art of her for the Mystery of Aaravos will be released soon.

Regina is Latin for The Queen.

A pulsar is the opposite of a black hole. When a Star dies it can become either one. A Pulsar sends out while a black hole sucks in.

I found out that Kazi's design was based on C3PO and the rest is history. 😅 Also, yes, Janai is holding a "lightsaber"! 😉

My fave skrunkly Soren from the Dragon Prince! After watching season 4 I had to draw him XD

Keep reading for a surprise

Also, I made something…

Figured that since Ozai looked so young in his portrait, that must mean it was made shortly after his coronation, or thereabouts, so applying that logic here, ZuZu stills looks young and handsome. The dragons, I know, that event was meant to be kept secret, but counter argument, this painting doesn’t necessarily say, “Hey, Dragons are still alive—here’s a map!” It’s just a bit of artsy-fartsy majestic embellishment. Also, I feel like Zuko might want to rebrand the Fire Nation, just a little, you know, after the 100 year war. So instead of just pure fire iconography, he brings things back to their roots, aka, the dragon. More dragon iconography!!! In this portrait, Zuko isn’t the one firebending, it’s the dragons, the first Firebenders. And in the meantime, he’s holding out a White Lotus. Now, I tried to use my Google Fu to find out if there was ever any symbol in Japan or Korea or China that meant “peace,” but my search results came up empty, so I figured that perhaps the lotus could become their version of, say, the olive branch. A discreet and tasteful way to include such a major part of the final battle while having a double meaning. Also, take note of the fact that he’s holding it with BOTH hands. In Japan, when one offers a gift, you always do so with both hands. And while I know it may look a little strange, Zuko towering over his friends—bro—this was always going to be Zuko’s Firelord portrait. He was always going to be the main focus. He just wanted to also include his friends and commemorate the day the war finally ended/his coronation. Anyway, that’s all for now… hope that wasn’t too much… and if anyone has any ideas for how to make it even better, pls let me know.

Bonus Panel:

Been rewatching Avatar The Last Airbender and listening to Avatar: Braving The Elements Podcast lately and it's been great revisting this world. This show had such a big influence on me as a kid and it's great to see how well it still holds up for me as an adult.

Now it makes me smile to think of Aang and Zuko babysitting their lil dragon friend 🧡

Aarvos’ Merry Meal

Fun little head canon for the world of The Dragon Prince: a “Merry Meal”. Comes with a mutton leg, sweet bread roll, apple slices and a carved wooden horse. I also HC that Aarvos annoyed Viren to get him one during the march to Xadia.

Some TDP doods from twitter!

Team Green Dragon Hatchlings

In their first meeting, they were ecstatic to meet each other. Zym had a playmate to have when he couldn't be with Ezran. While Regi got to have a new friend at all. The first of many playdates between the two adorable, and powerful arch dragons to be. They became fast friends and the mere mention of visiting the other would excite them. Even at a young age, Zym understands the safety of Regi's secrecy. He's told Ezran about her but he can't tell anyone else, not yet. Zym has told Regi a lot about Ez and vise versa. She's excited to meet him one day. To have another friend. But she'd also love to meet Callum, Rayla, and Soren. Whom she's also be told about. Regi would love to be apart of Team Zym.
