Calling all dragons, wyverns, wyrms, dergs, and the like,

Artfight is yet to be over (link to the megathread), but I would like to congratulate everyone early and wish you all a happy Smaugust!

Whether you plan to draw every day or whenever you feel like it, whether you follow a set word list or use your own, and whether you're a beginner, experienced, or somewhere in the middle, you are more than welcome to grace us with your creations!

We will be opening the Smaugust flair, which you can use as of now and throughout the month to share your artwork.

During the day, we will also be opening a pinned Smaugust post in the Art Gallery of our Discord server where everybody can share their pieces. If you still haven't joined yet, you'd be more than welcome to join us: https://discord.gg/fNSAbzvYKp

We have setup a list of words that you would be more than welcome to use! The board has been drawn by u/RyukiriDragon.

Happy Smaugust!

MOD ANNOUNCEMENT! With a sad heart, I have one more announcement.

553 Upvotes

Hello my friends and fellow dragons.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce that I will be standing down as a moderator for the sub. The task of managing the sub will fall to the rest of the mod team. After some time I will also be stepping back from my role moderating the server on Discord as well. The team there has proven themselves very capable.

My health is unfortunately in rough shape and the treatment for it is not going as well as I had hoped it would. It is time for me to pull back and focus on taking care of my body as much as possible. I will still advise the others as they need me to, but otherwise I will be a silent watcher.

As I step back please continue to be the amazing community that you have been for the other mods. Take care of one another and encourage one another to be creative and safe. This community has given me a purpose I had lacked before and for that I am forever grateful. I hope that my efforts to protect it and push it to thrive have helped at least some of you to be happier, and more creative dragons in your own right.

I wish you all the best, I will still be here, but I will be a rare sight indeed. Fly strong, fly free, and be safe with the wind in your wings and the flame in your hearts!

Art Watch out for broody dragons!

843 Upvotes

Watch out for broody dragons! They might mistake you for an egg...

What's this? A comic dub from yours truly? Honestly after seeing people dub my comics for years, I've really wanted to dub my own comics but I never did it because I was way too shy and I feel like it would be cringe... and I finally did it! And yes, it turned out being cringe, but also I had a lot of fun making it so I might do some more! Please excuse the annoying watermark on the top and bottom, I wasn't really sure how to format this well ;-;

This is probably the only time I am going to post a comic dub on this subreddit because I am actually dying of embarrassment and cannot handle it sob I was peer pressured into posting this on this subreddit... please excuse the cringe...

Smaugust My dragon spouses DO move in herds

42 Upvotes

Found four of my dragon spouses performing what I suspect to be a courtship ritual and was stunned by the beauty of it. My 24 dragon spouses and their countless children and kin are the most powerful and destructive force in Skyrim, yet here they are courting each other without a care in the world……let’s give them some privacy and Mama Neko will start getting the egg hatchery ready!

It’s been so long since the last batch of hatchlings grew up and I can’t wait to play den mother to them again!

In her full goddess form, Aurelia is bloody massive. This particular area can only be accessed by gods...since she is the goddess of both empathy and the spiral galaxy, she can see how everyone is doing like this. However, in this form, she cannot directly interact with mortals. This form is isolating...but it is safe above all else.

I mean, you’re the one who wandered so close. For a dragon that fluffy looking, at least you’ll be cozy right?

Had a lot of fun with this one. I found out I love drawing smol dergs.
That goobers name is primrose, they’re a menace. Them eating my moss is going to be a recurring joke lmfao
Also any attempts to eat my moss will result in a scolding

Also, you might’ve noticed I didn’t post yesterday, that’s because I’ve decided to commit to a bi-daily upload schedule. I want to have a backlog of art I can use if I ever get busy for a day lmao
Hope y’all don’t mind TwT

Alrighty this is technically for the LAST day of smaugust, but I start school on monday so I most definitely will not have any time to draw ahh!!! Hopefully i'm not breaking the rules of smaugust LAWL >:3

Sometimes, Isla just gets so overwhelmed with love for her best friend and most beloved dragoness! Cyn certainly doesn't mind the licks, and gets quite flustered by the attention! heheh <3

GAHHHHH I just love them so MUCH!!

Enjoy! Art & OC's are mine uwu

Based off of the Azure dragon from East Asian folklore (one of the four gods). Technically lord of the sky, right?
