Is There Any Reason In Particular Plague Dragons Keep Popping Up As Villians In Your Lore Or Is It Just

Is there any reason in particular plague dragons keep popping up as villians in your lore or is it just coincidence?

I have a love-hate relationship with Plague, and the feelings often times clash. On one hand, the themes of survival, decay, life, and the struggle that comes from that, is profoundly cool to me and fun to play with in fiction. -Their eye colors are also second only to light in my opinion; they look like rubies-.

On the other hand...I DEEPLY abhor irl suffering brought about by illness and physical ailment . Having plague dragons always present is a love-letter to Plague's interesting lore, while having them almost always be villains is self-indulgent hate-mail to the concept of suffering via illness and plague...

The timing of this question is pretty notable, too, as I just recovered(thankfully) from the virus-that-should-not-be-named. My hatred for being sick has been renewed once again.

Poses and practice sketches for the Chieftains! It’s so satisfying seeing them together, I have to paint some interactions between these guys. There’s some serious  drama going on here, it’s ridiculous. I really hope you enjoy the designs and characters as much as I enjoyed making em!

 Let me know what you think, and stay frosty!

The first of our Ancient Talosian Subclan leaders! Resillian is the youngest drake to ever become a Chieftain, largely due to his prolific and driven nature. Being a  prodigy doesn’t hurt his chances either.  He’s eager to earn the respect of his fellow Chieftains, but grapples beneath the intense pressure that comes with being responsible for an entire clan. 

*sends loving support to you because you still an amazing artist, writing really fun and fascinating stories, and you are definetly one those people I look up to a lot*

I hope you have a good day and summer!

Reading this makes the heavy lifting feel light as air :D thank you for supporting my work for as long as you have, and for sticking around after the account move. It's truly a blessing seeing a familiar face (icon? Haha) and getting to share and exchange such creative lore ideas and questions with you!

I hope you have a wonderful summer as well ^^

Man, I had to take a wander through your blog to catch up a bit. I'm really, really sorry you lost your original account! I, like others mentioned, would be a bit of a mess if I did. Please do let us all know if we can help you with things! I'm always up for breeding a lore pair or two for new egg eating shenanigans. ;D Good luck, and always good to see you!

Hey thanks for stopping by! Blog's been a bit bogged down with non-story stuff, but aside from that losing the account has sucked significantly less than if they'd deleted the lore outright. So many kind and generous people have helped me get back on my feet, so the new account has come together very quickly. Heheh, as a shenanigan enthusiast, I might have to take you up on that!

Arkadi is the Cerulean's Chief and greatest hunter. Like the other chieftains he takes immense pride in his clan's talents, stoking a fierce ambition in his fellow hunters to refine their craft. He is the most critical of Resillian...almost jealous of the young Chief's accomplishments...

Arkadi is a bit of a dreamer, and is greatly inspired by the tales of his star-hunting ancestors. The secrets of the original cerulean knight, Archanis, have been lost to time. But Arkadi believes he can bring such glory back. He often reflects out in the wilderness, connecting with the natural world.
