Do Note That This Is My Most Recent Smaugust Drawing, (8-8-2021), And That There Are At Least 10 Drawings

Do note that this is my most recent Smaugust drawing, (8-8-2021), and that there are at least 10 drawings that have been completed between the previous post, (The Puppet Dragon), and this one. I posted this one now because I am so proud of this one, and how I wrote his “origin” story for this mythological AU.

(I will be continuing the drawings from the previous post, (The Puppet), from tomorrow and further on).

Name: The Bogeyman

Specific Dragon type: Bogeyman

Specie mix: Lester/AKA the Bogeyman, the creature that his prosthetics are based off of (Cockroach), and a dragon.

Design notes: I tried, and successfully designed, to make his lower half look like he accidentally caused himself to mutate while trying to heal himself from a near fatal/otherwise fatal damage to his lower half, meaning, it will look kinda gross, also while pushing the cockroach theme.

Origin Story: Lester’s origin story is very similar to his typical/original origin story in my SugarGlider comics, which is where his comic origin is.

But he is also very different than any of the other dragons in this universe.

Rather than being born/hatched as the odd dragon specie that he is, instead, he began as a dark high elf, simply known to elf and human children alike as The Boogeyman/The Bogeyman, as he often broke into houses at night and abduct children who lived there for unknown, but most undoubtfully, nefarious purposes.

Even for a dark high elf, who are/were known to use dark magic in their life styles, a kind of magic that normal high elves typically refuse to touch, Lester/The Boogeyman/Bogeyman, had a kind of magic ability that he could use without the use of amulets, spells, and rituals.

He could somehow hypnotize most people of low magic to do his bidding just by maintaining eye contact for a good period of time, and his most common choice of victim for this was, and still is, children. The reasoning behind this is most likely, but hasn’t been confirmed as of yet, is because no one suspects that the children could have a much more sinister reason to be thieving the things that Lester sends them out to steal for him.

Despite having this unique ability and evil genius level of intelligence, he always had a goal of becoming more powerful, and the only thing he could think of that he would admit is more powerful than he was, was a dragon.

Another thing to note, before anyone forgets, is that he also had a healing spell that worked wonders and never failed. Never had any bad side effects to him either. Or at least, at this point in time.

After a while and plenty of searching through the lands for a spell, amulet, ritual, or something similar to turn him into a dragon, or at least give him the power of one, he finally succeeded.

Now, sometime after this, he made the horrendous decision to annoy and eventually start a fight with SugarGlider’s Dave Dragon, (which I have not designed yet as of posting this), by taunting him, being over confident and too braggy about himself, he was dealt nearly and otherwise fatal damage to his waistline and below.

He tried using his healing ritual again, to heal his wounds, but something about the ritual/item/amulet that turned him into or gave him the powers of a dragon corrupted this healing ritual, causing him to horrifically and painfully mutate into the cockroach mutant boogeyman dragon that he is today.

The reason why this healing ritual was corrupted is because the ritual was specifically made/planned to be used ONLY on pure Dark High Elves, and with Lester turning himself into part dragon, (although artificially), it did not continue to work as intended.

Welp, too late, huggy remnant rabbit has...

Well, ok, this isnt the worst thing in the world. Lets just hope he plans to let go...

Smaugust 2021

Hi, i am doing Smaugust this year, although i did start late due to forgetting it existed, and i will be posting the dragons i draw for it!

Do keep in mind that i actually have done multiple dragons per day, rather than one per day, due to loving the theme so much. 

The theme, other than dragons, or goal, is to turn my original characters and fave characters into dragons! So basically, i probably will be adding a picture of them in their normal form if i haven't posted one of them before. 

If i have posted an original form before, like for example, Alistair, all you have to do is click on the tag and you can see the other drawings of them. 

Anyway, i will also be posting several pieces of information about each dragon, whether it be simple like a character sheet, or even something that could be found in an explorer’s log as they explore the mythological au land that these dragon characters exist. 

Some of the descriptions are not sorted out, so some of the explorer description paragraphs could be mixed randomly in the “character sheet” paragraphs. Sorry... sometimes i am not paying attention while i write some things. 

If i know how i want to write i sentence, quite often i write it, without taking into account what or how i wrote the previous one... heh... 

The Puppet

Dragon Specie type: ?

Appearance mix: A mysterious dark figure with a cloth on his head/face.

Specific appearance mix: Basically, it’s just a dragon counterpart directly based off of his “human” counterpart. (Basically a humanoid male with a dark purple suit, a cloth with two eyes patterned on it, and a top hat. Kind of looks like he would ride a horse though).

I don’t even know if his “human” counterpart IS human in the first place. He could have once been human, but he isnt human anymore. If you are chosen as TUO’s Harbinger, TUO would definitely modify you to the point that you are no longer human… I don’t know whats under the cloth yet. 

His dragon counterpart has several knots in his design that resemble tree knots.

He has a weird mouth in his neck, but it is unknown if its just a weird film with overgrown scales that grow outwards, or if it is literally something that can ingest things. 

His teeth mostly grow outwards, rather than inside of its lips, in fact, it doesn’t even appear that it HAS lips to speak of. It is a wonder how it can speak fluently.

It always has golden or black chains wrapped around its horns and one necklace around its neck with many baubles. The baubles include simple things like gemstones inset in a golden or silver pendant, a crystal of what is supposedly magical properties, but sometimes, it has been seen/observed to also put body parts onto the pendants as well, such as eyeballs.

Breath Element: Smoke and smog. But smoke and smog that probably would do something to the human victim if they were caught in it, but I don’t know what it would do. I want it to be different than Caesar.

Other notes:

(I apologize for the awkward Neck position, i had a limited canvas size as i do all of these line arts traditionally).

Name: Caesar

Dragon specie type: Nightmare King

Appearance mix: Caesar Nightmare form, Caesar 's human form.

Specific Appearance mix: His face is the most bizarre face of all dragons I have encountered. 

Instead of him having mostly a muzzle, he seems to have more of a human like face, but more like he is wearing a mask with over exaggerated features, the ‘rosy’ but pale cheeks, the teeth are seemed to be set inside of a void. His eyes look like what is on the face is a mask, covering its real appearance. 

His body is covered with human like eyes, the locations of the eyes seem to be forever shifting, opening, and closing, coming in and out of existence. Making my hiding spot quickly located even though the beast was facing away from me.

The dragon has multiple mouths as well. One on its chest, one on its neck, and one right above his head, floating in between its/his horns, not counting the one that is rightfully on its face. 

At the end of his tail, is what looks like a human hand.

The only NORMAL part of him that I can observe, seems to be his wings, which are just like typical reptile dragon wings.  

Breath element: Nightmares.

Other notes: He is clearly that of a royal of his species. 

He can create portals to what is known to be its home realm, or known by the people in this dragon filled land, as the nightmare realm. 

He seems to be the devourer of dreams, leaving those he feeds from with horrendous nightmares. Despite this, and his terrifying appearance, he mostly does his evil deeds due to loving fun, and with a very low consciousness or care for whether or not he truly hurts those to get what he wants. He doesn’t seem to be doing anything with the true intention of destroying and hurting others, but he clearly needs to practice on empathy. 

He is strangely good with children. 

He is also seeming to be ageless, as he has explained to me how he has lived through both world wars, ancient Egypt and even ancient China and Japan. 

Name: Human Swalot

Dragon specie type: Grotesque

Appearance mix: Well, although he does have the… description of stuff that he shares with his original form, (or my headcannon), and his human form/counterpart, he is more dragon than some of the other dragons, but you can definitely see how he is the human Swalot when you are told who he is.

Specific appearance: This, this dragon...

This dragon is one of the most both visibly and nonvisably disgusting and grotesque dragon i have come across. 

He is sweaty, he is slimy, (I don't even need to come in contact with him to be able to tell), he is bloated, he is stinky, he is gassy, he is belchy. 

He has a lot of fat folds on his neck, and boils filled with green bile. 

I have even seen him actually store victims or things in between each sweaty, nauseous fat folds, and it is clear that even if you aren’t killed by the heavy weight, you would be killed or knocked unconscious by the stink/stench… 

I can only imagine how bad it would smell when you are pressed up into his body, when i could smell him coming from what i estimated, judging by the extensive amount of time between the scent and the actual moment i laid my eyes upon him, at least a half of a mile, if not a mile, away.

My eyes were watering 30 seconds before he came into view from the trees. 

Similarly to Lickilicki, he has a similar belly pattern, except for the fact that the pattern is reversed. The thick parts are dragon scales, the thin parts are “skin”.

The closest, and least disturbing way that i could describe this to my readers and fellow biologists, is to imagine shoving a very fat, sweaty, fleshy giant into a shell of a dragon that has at least a belly that is far too small for it, and the excess stomach fat is being shoved out from between the large belly scales. 

Breath Element: The gross sweat like toxins that he could either squeeze from the boils on his neck, (Oh god, seeing this occur was... extremely unpleasant), or regurgitate from them on the inside. Like phlegm. ICK… The stuff glows bright green when outside of the body, unlike the glowing DARK green that it seems to be while still inside of the blisters. 

I wasn't able to see what the toxins did if/when they came into contact, other than killing the person most likely, but I can logically deduce that it would have some other side effects.

Instead of BREATHING this, it is more like the act of PUKING and THROWING UP.

Personality notes on this dragon is that his personality is equally as uncomfortable as his appearance. 

He seems to be proud of his disgustingness, and he often acts like a diva. Not too exactly different than Walker, but a bit more unprofessional, and not having anything personal with anyone else to show off. 

He is just doing it to be silly, or purposefully disturbing. 

Although i have had the uncomfortableness of accidentally gaining the attention of this dragon, it was only for a few moments, as I must have had interrupted him on his way to some other place. 

I only documented the interaction because it was something i was coming to do, and i needed to be accurate. 

I was... minorly amused by his, although disturbing rendition of “Paint me like one of your French girls”, pose, but obviously replacing ‘girls’ with ‘dragons’.

I didn't think dragons, or anyone from this world, had access to movies.

Perhaps they watched the movie on TV William’s head/face? 

Other, OTHER notes: I wasn't able to fit in his tail. His tail is as thicc as he is. 

His tail, despite not being an insect/bee/wasp abdomen, could be considered one due to how round and thick it is. However, this is not a flattering and/or cute round and thick, it is GROSS and sweaty, and probably one of the stinkiest parts of him due to it being so close to his rear end.
