Finally got around to illustrating some of my book characters!! This is (most of) the family of my main protagonist Fio, a Red Clover Dragon! We've got Fio's parents: His Dad Garth and his mother Fauna, who is the leader of the family clan. Freya and Fallon do not have their feathers yet in the first two novels, but this will be their "adult" plumage in the third novel, which I'm currently working on.
One day I want to make full-body reference sheets too, but those will take a while to get done 🤔 Especially since I'm still missing Fio's aunt Agave, two of his distant cousins along with their mother and Garth's best friend Bakula. AND Asha. Goddamn. So many pink dragons to design...
OH here's an example of a fullbody Red Clover dragon for those who haven't seen them before!

Round two: многоꙮчитїй, mnogoočitii vs Drache
(poll at the end)
многоꙮчитїй, mnogoočitii (Old Church Slavonic)
IPA not found
Translation: many-eyed
Old Church Slavonic is an extinct language that belonged to the Slavic branch of Indo-European languages. It’s closest related to today’s Macedonian and Bulgarian, but was standardised based on the dialect of Slavs living near 9th century Thessaloniki in today’s Greece by missionaries, who translated Christian literature so they could convert people easier. Old Church Slavonic was then used as the liturgical language of various Orthodox and Byzantine Catholic Churches. A later version of the language called Church Slavonic is still in use in churches today.
Motivation: This particular instance of the word appears once in a manuscript from around 1429. It is the book of psalms, and the word is used in the phrase "серафими многоꙮчитїй," to mean "many-eyed seraphim," as in an angel. the "ꙮ", or multiocular o, is one of my favorite Unicode symbols and also symbols in general. In the next version of Unicode it's going to be updated, because it doesn't even have enough eyes as the original manuscript gave it! Looking past the ꙮ fixation, though, I'm a fan of angels and angelic imagery, as well as eye imagery. A single word for "many-eyed" is really cool to me, since I don't recall there being one in English. It's a useful phrase for more than just angels, like spiders, molluscs...

Drache (Walloon)
[dʁaʃ]
Translation: Sudden heavy rain
Walloon is an Indo-European language belonging to the Romance branch and closely related to French and its varieties. It's usually considered a dialect of French, but is a language according to linguists. Walloon is spoken in Belgium by a decreasing population, in 2007 it was estimated 600 000 people knew it and perhaps half of them used it actively. It isn’t used in schools and not all young people speak it since many have French as their native language. This is my speculation, but perhaps it will become a local dialect of French, keeping some local vocabulary and features but largely being mutually intelligible.
Motivation: It sounds like the noise a bucket of water thrown on the ground. It is also used as a way of referring to a round of drinks. Walloon is spoken in Belgium and some words are also used in northern France. It is not very well known because most learners are taught the French of the Academie Française but those local dialects are very important.

Bring den Drachen nicht um. Erzähl mir von ihm, nachdem du dich ihm gestellt hast. Und, vielleicht stellst du uns mal einander vor, wenn er seine dauerhafte Ruhe noch nicht gefunden hat. Ich hab ein Händchen für Drachen.

Round one: Figo-fago vs Drache
Figo-fago (Polish)
[ˌfʲiɡɔ‿ˈfaɡɔ]
Translation: A humorous euphemism for sex. The submitter added that it can also be a joking way to say either unserious and uncareful person or playboy, but I haven’t found any other source confirming that.
Polish is an Indo-European language belonging to the Slavic branch. It’s spoken by 36,7 million people in Poland where it is the national language. It is written with a Latin alphabet due to church influence, adapted with the addition of nine letters (ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, ż) and removal of three (x, q, v).
Motivation: This is so unserious I love it. No one really says it but it's a very funny word. ffs figo fago. It's like a fiku miku type word
Note: Fiku miku is another euphemism for sex
Drache (Walloon)

Col Capodanno lunare, siamo entrati nell'anno del dragone, quindi ho pensato di postare questa trasformazione in drago. Spero vi piaccia.
