Okay, Im Curious About Your Other Dragons You Have! Do They Have Any Designs You Have Worked Out Personally

Okay, I’m curious about your other dragons you have! Do they have any designs you have worked out personally for them? Or is it still something you would have to think about? :0

Ah, yes! I have several older designs for my dragons.

KoiKoi, a Talosian spice merchant and a koi fish breeder.

Then we have brothers Virtue and Vice.

Mismallo the Informant

The Prince of Hares

Phyyric, Bloodservant to Lord Talos

Then here's a sample of the Silhouette paintings

Looking back on these, I think they might be due for a repaint :D Also there are several designs on paper, but I think I'll redraw those as well.

Expressions for little Chirin!

 His name is definitely inspired by one of my favorite movies, Chirin’s Bell, alongside another wolf/sheep movie called One Stormy Night. With these in mind, Chirin’s personality has grown to have several wolfish traits. He’s a bit mischievous, is fiercely loyal, has a voracious(borderline obsessive) appetite, and is clever in certain ways(that is...great with puzzles, mazes, sports, and anything spatially challenging. He’s not very booksmart though! ) 

He’s just a naïve kid who hasn’t fully grasped the gravity of his lineage.  

Does matthias actually genuinely care about any of the egg eaters even if it’s in a horrible and twisted very hidden way?

He's obsessed with them. That's what makes Matthias so terrifying.

Deep down he holds an intense desire to be accepted and loved within a family(DESPITE his glaring evil/rotten core). Except he went further than just projecting his ideals onto others, and went straight into Gaslight-Girlbossing his way to making a found family. His feelings towards the others are just as intense, but what Matthias holds for them...

... It could never be called love.

Rannoch Instructs her Sparring Partner:

“Listen up. I can only teach you how to strike. It’s up to you to decide whether you have the strength to do so. 

“Our element is ice. Like ice we must be unmovable and solid, and like the biting winds we must pass through our enemies defenses with a mere touch. There’s the impression that mastering our element requires one to bury their emotions. Many warriors strive to become ‘cold and calculating’ in their style. This is wrong. It is weak. And you? You need all the strength you can get.  

“Remember this, Okira: True cold doesn’t calculate. It is not detached. It doesn’t stop until it permeates everything it touches, and when it has, it changes that everything from the inside out. You must be immoveable. You must be swift and agile. And above all, you must fiercely claim anything that dare stand against you!!” 

So I'm not sure if this has been asked yet but I've been wondering. I noticed you don't seem to mind if other people make egg eater dragons but do you mind if people take your base lore idea (egg eating causing magic mutations in general) and make a different version of it? I've been thinking about writing something of my own about it but I worry it just comes across as copying.

Ah, yeah. I don't want my stuff outright stolen, but I also think people should partake in the fun(as long as it doesn't outright erase the artist, ya know?)

I've found that being transparent about your inspirations is the best way to go. If you worry about something being too close, you could always put an "inspired by" disclaimer. I've seen that done with AU's that are similar, and even businesses that are influenced by other mainstream ideas(think Pokemon vs Nexomon, or those sculptors that sell cool collectable creatures). That way you can be creative as you like and won't be accused of stealing, while my idea can still be seen by others. Pretty win-win!

I hope this was helpful! ^^

So we’ve seen that eating eggs too much can lead to drawbacks, which made me wonder if a dragon who eats eggs of their own element most often (ie. arcane dragon who eats arcane eggs the most) will they get affected by the drawbacks less or more than if the dragon ate a variety of eggs?

Hmmm…I’ve been thinking on this and think I’ve discovered the answer.

If a dragon has already partaken in egg eating(and presumably has gained their own unique “special effect”) then eating eggs of the same element won’t change how their “special effect” manifests or how intensely. It simply doesn’t matter. Their magic has already been warped.

However, an eater’s first egg may resonate with the eater if their elements match, and could result in additional minor effects. This is a baby version of what happens when primal eyed dragons gain their unique abilities.
