ok so this started because, the thing about dusthides is that they have a very cool thing going on with their wing, where the secondary is only visible on the underside of the wing and not the top. unfortunately, only one pose (F) shows this off at all, so I wondered if the M pose could be altered to show the back wing to emphasize that trait. and also i thought it would be cool if the secondary was also on the underside of the plating, which i then had to add more of, and then also i had to draw the F pose to see if i could reposition the tail to show off THAT attribute. and then since i was drawing them ANYWAY i just redesigned some other things. for fun. i dont think i did it super great but it was a fun exercise!!

I think we should do more with the concept of body horror associated with breed changes. And not even in a gory sense, like, this can be an allegory for transness or body dysmorphia or good ol fashion “turning into something you have no control over”

Like imagine you’re a tundra. You’re used to your heightened sense of smell, which can inform you of enemies or friends. You have a warm coat and you prefer salads over steaks.

Then, for whatever reason, you turn into a mirror.

You feel so, so disconnected from the world. Sure, you can still smell fine, but you can’t smell friends from miles away like you used to. The world seems duller by nose, but your new eyes allow colors you’ve never seen before. You always feel cold now that you have leathery skin, and a little under protected. You crave flesh for the first time and it terrifies you.

next dragon breed should have the females be larger and/or fluffier and/or spikier than the males. ENOUGH of the males getting the extra stuff like a beard or an extra horn or a longer nose. u know?

Speaking of the coli.

I think my clan lore will treat the Coliseum as an actual coliseum. It's an entertainment venue where dragons show off their combat prowess while an audience roots for their favorites.

All the different venues are magical stages or set pieces to add drama and indicate the level dragons are fighting at. The monsters are some kind of hologram inspired by Sornieth wildlife. (At one point, the coliseum captured actual animals, much like the real Roman coliseum. This practice was abandoned because it's unethical and, frankly, more expensive than the simulation is.) In-game "level" is a representation of a dragon's coliseum standing, and determines which stages they have access to. The goal is to survive as many rounds as you can. Rewards are randomized loot and increased standing, which allows access to more prestigious stages and perhaps better loot.

The Coliseum is run by Shadow dragons, probably Nocturnes. Shadow flight is all about games, entertainment, and winning, after all; what's blood sport if not an extremely high-stake game?

Night of the Nocturne is a promotional event designed to draw more traffic to the coliseum. The showrunners add high-value loot to attract more contestants, and a slew of fanciful mimic foes to add more spectacle and wow audiences. The whole thing is highly profitable and pays for most of the Coliseum's annual expenses.

#oh I like this idea
