Sea dragons are a gentle breed, and rarely come into conflict with humans - they will, however, absolutely wreck your sandcastles.

A two for one post today.

Dragon posts for Smaugust.

The Maple Leaf Drake is a small to medium sized woodland dragon that populates temperate forests across the globe. Their unique body morphology allows them to hide, almost seamlessly, amongst vast maple forests. This physiological adaptation also extends to seasonal color changes throughout the year. They will live their lives hidden amongst the leaves, using their long proboscis bill to pierce through the bark of Maple Trees to extract the sweet sap, which makes up the majority of it’s diet. 

Incredibly skittish, the Fearful Precious Red Coral Drake lives it’s life hidden amongst Red Coral. It’s long proboscis-like mouth snatching up small unsuspecting pray.

tumblr tuesday: smaugust

Well, August truly is the month of art challenges. And, as you well know, we love a good dragon as much as the next guy. So today, we bring you another roundup, this time of Smaugust. Please enjoy this Smaugust and Smaugust-adjacent art. Just look at these dragons. LOOK AT THEM.

(a small warning that, yes, here be dragons. But also other beasties that look like bugs, mushrooms, or something else you might not like to look at. Proceed with caution, fellow traveler <3)

A gigantic Axolotl dragon has taken residence on an island village one early morning, much to the village's dismay!  Whilst being incredibly large and exceptionally powerful, these dragons are incredibly docile and their curiosity often brings them into contact with inhabited areas. An oil painting I originally started in February that I worked on between client work which finally finished last month. Oils on panel 16x24"

Smaugust day 5 - "Small."

Very, very small.

Combined my love of dragons with my love of cell biology and sciart for this one!

01 - SMAUG. The best one

I may not do these every day, and I'm gonna come up with my own to replace the other fandom ones. But I don't draw dragons enough any more so I gotta try

While some species of dragons fiercely guard their hatchlings from would-be predators, others give no parental care at all. But nest robbers, be warned - this is because those hatchlings are perfectly capable of dispatching would-be predators themselves.

The Meleagris Drake is a large, robust dragon widely distributed across upland forests. 

The Meleagris Drake’s mimicry of the North American turkey serves a purpose and extends beyond convergent evolution in regards to camouflage, The Meleagris drake s a member of the brood parasitism class of dragons. A female will lay a single egg within a turkey’s brood, The parasitic chick will typically hatch a couple days in advance, making one of it’s nest mates it’s first meal. 

(This guy is a bit late to the party but I thought it was still fine to share.)

A somewhat recent digital painting of a purple cosmic dragon as it flows amongst planets and stars. This was painted with a specific color palette to practice use of limited/specific color to build a scene.

I had fun with the more loose, swirly shape of this dragon's design, and seeing how the colors work together was really interesting.

Painted in Clip Studio.
