some more old art! here's Atarka, Ugin and Nicol Bolas going on a little synthwavey roadtrip!

Ugin the Spirit Dragon

Two more small headcanons

Nicol Bolas is mildly claustrophobic. Given how his life started, how could he not be?

Ugin has severe trust issues after how many times his brother and his brother's pawns messed with him.

Ugin, the Spirit Dragon (Borderless Ver) by Ryan Pancoast

THE MAGIC PLANESWALKER ULTIMATE BRACKET, SEMIFINALS!

A fascinating battle from a lore perspective! Sarkhan is the reason Ugin is alive today! Will he take him out of the world of the living as well with his army of dragons? Or will Ugin hit the jackpot? That's your call!

Make your choice!

Nicol Bolas: (Facing his impending doom) Is it... terrifying?

Ugin: No. I don't think so. It's the way it is, you know? Everything must come to an end, the drip finally stops.

Bolas: See you on the other side?

Ugin: Oh, Nicol, no, there is no other side. This is it.

The three against the Eldrazi posting.

A painting I did last year for Magic the Gathering of Ugin, the Spirit Dragon! Honestly such an honour to work on this piece, and such a challenge to draw such a huge fantasy creature!

A moment in the life

How do we know something like this didn't happen?

Night had fallen, and Ugin was sound asleep, curled up like a kitten with his nose tucked under his tail as he dreamed quietly. Nicol Bolas was still awake, however, and making battle plans. “If they come in through here, I’ll have my forces meet them there,” he murmured to himself, tracing diagrams in the dust as he plotted his next move.

A soft little whimper escaped Ugin as the little dragon twitched in his sleep, dreaming of something unpleasant for the moment. Bolas paused his scheming and began to preen his brother’s wings; his favorite thing, he knew. “…I’m a terrible brother to you, aren’t I, Ugin?” he mused to himself before sighing. “You love me so much, but I…” Hearing his brother begin to purr as his dreams calmed, he smiled to himself. “I want to be a better brother to you, Ugin. I do. But I can’t. Not yet.” A second sigh escaped him. “When my war is over… when the enemy have been dealt with… then I’ll be the brother you deserve. I promise.” Erasing his diagrams and curling up a bit, he settled down to stare at the night sky. “If that day ever comes, that is…” Pushing his doubts away, he reaffirmed his vow. “I will win someday. My enemies will be dealt with. And then we can just be brothers.” He smiled. “That’ll be wonderful, won’t it?”

Yeah, I think there may have been a time when Nicol Bolas wasn't a complete monster... or an asshole.

Today's fuckable dragon of the day is...

UGIN THE SPIRIT DRAGON from MAGIC: THE GATHERING

Ugin didn’t know what it all meant. Sorin had not arrived, and neither had Nahiri, and now, an Eldrazi titan was missing. It couldn’t have been coincidence, but what did it mean instead?

“I have to repair this hedron,” Ugin said, shaking the thoughts away. “With that, once Nahiri and Sorin arrive, we can bind the Eldrazi—”

Impatiently, Jace cut him off. “Why?” he countered. “Binding them clearly didn’t work out so well the last time.”

Growling, Ugin narrowed colorless, voiding eyes down at the human that had suddenly grown too bold for his liking. “They were caged for thousands of years,” he hissed. “I think the system otherwise worked quite—”

“Then, where is their keeper?”

Ugin growled again, a deep, rumbling noise that made the walls around them shake. “She will come.”

“How do you know?”

Ugin flicked his tail.

He didn’t. That was the problem.

“She will,” he insisted, more annoyed. “She would never have abandoned her post intentionally. Whatever quarrel has become of her, she will get over it, and she will come home.”
