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.

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... 

Name: Stewart

Dragon Specie type: Patchwork dragon (PH)

Appearance mix: Voodoo doll, original self’s costume.

Specific appearance mix: His scales/skin are a series of patchworks, made out of what appears to be different types. The only places that i cannot observe any kind of scaling without getting too close are his wings, the tip of his tail and that black string/rope down the back of his spine. 

His teeth are long and thin, resembling stitches when his mouth is closed and torn stitches when his mouth is open.

Breath element: Fear toxins

Other notes: The ring at the end of his tail is pure gold with the texture/thickness of the ring being like titanium. He uses it to lure greedy humans, or humans with simple curiosity, to him with this gold. When the greedy or curious individual tugs or grabs hold on the ring, he will spook them and then go on the hunt for them, chasing them down and then capturing them.

His pupils can glow, or his eye sockets can appear empty. Just because they appear empty, doesn’t mean that he cannot see you.

Can turn 360 degrees with his waist. Still cannot imagine what the kind of underlaying skeleton would look like to allow him to do such a thing. 

Name: Zachariah Walker

Dragon specie type: Undead Zombie King

Appearance mix: Walker’s 2nd zombie form, Walker’s mutant form, Walker’s mold zombie form, Walker’s body gained form.

Specific Appearance/Explorer’s log: One of the more disturbing and gross, (although strangely vibrant and dramatic), dragons i have come across. 

His face is sort of more like a Chinese dragon, with what seems like makeup around his eyes, and lipstick on his lips. His lips do not resemble that of a scaled, reptilian creature, but that more of a human. 

His front teeth share the lip’s resemblance to a human’s, but the rest of his teeth are very fanglike and need a very good wash. They are yellowing and seem to be dripping with the disgusting element that the dragon is able to breathe, which I am going to cover upon later. 

I cannot tell whether his body is overweight just mostly in the stomach region, or is bloated due to the strong stench of decomposition that comes from him. 

In his gut area, I notice holes, fleshy holes. I have observed him eating victims while they are still alive, and those victims are regurgitated out from these holes as zombified versions of those individuals.

This dragon doesn’t have an official tail, but instead he has a generously large sized gash where his intestines would be from the back, and the intestines are spilling out from that gash, and are dragged behind him as if they were tails.

He can somehow control these “tails” as if they are extra limbs, and even mouths. He can use them to consume much larger creatures than his mouth/throat can get down. The smell and noises from these events are ungodly.

The creature’s hands are oddly humanlike, but the finger bones are far too long and thin to be fully human. They are more like chopsticks, in length, and although he doesn’t have fingernails or claws in the fingernail sense of the word, (as in Chariton, or however you spell it... never won a spelling bee in my schooling years), these are clearly his species’ form of claws.  

Breath element: One of the elements that this dragon is able to breathe is something more like absolute disgustingness in a white/grey chunky, pukelike, muck. The stuff isnt that of fire, or anything else like it, but rather sludge that if it came into contact with most individuals, creatures, or plants, it would either kill them, or turn them into a zombie version of that creature. The only people/creatures that I have seen this not effect is Brian, TUO, Cassidy, and Alistair.

Scattered in the gunk, often, are insects and maggots, which is another clue that his body is infinitely decomposing itself and then healing itself.

This gunk is extremely sticky, and sometimes, I have observed this dragon ‘bird-feeding’ its victims this stuff, (and I think you know what I mean when I say bird feeding), and to the point that if the victim ate anything else, they would have exploded from the inside and died. This is extremely bad, not just because of the action, and the pain, but because typically, with most victims, one tiny bit will turn someone into a zombie, only imagine how bad it would mutate someone if they will inflated to the near point of bust with it.

Another thing it can breathe, is what looks like black mold. But it is much more complex than just the stuff that is spread like a parasite, but what a parasite the stuff is. This mold can be the controlled by the dragon, following and stalking prey, and once the mold gets to the intended victim, it swarms/cocoons the victim like a second skin, forcing the victim to “walk themselves” back to the lair of the monstrous creature, so the dragon can continue to torment the victim further.  

Other notes: Like Spiritomb, he will amuse being bartered with, to spare ones life, however, NEVER ever accept this, even if your life depends on it. 9 and a half times out of ten, he will either cheat to win, or even if you DO win, he will eat you, or torment you, or take what he wanted from you anyway. So, its basically death, or terrible loss… or… death and terrible loss. -_- He is basically also called the Asshole dragon… *sigh*.

Art notes: I was unable to fit his full body into the shot as i was also unable to shrink his head down without losing several important elements in his design. 

In drawing/coloring the small diagram of his body in the upper left hand corner of the canvas, i realized that it would be interesting to have the story on why it is colored with only flat colors is that the explorer needed to get out of the area quickly, as Dragon Walker began to suspect his presence. 

Lineart/design done on: 8/5/2021

(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: Malitarr

V: B1

Dragon specie type : Tarr

Appearance mix: Humatarr/Dragon

Specific appearance: His face shape is kind of like a stereotypical western dragon. The scales on his body/torso are inspired off of the scales on Smaug from the animated movie of the Hobbit. His body is dripping with thick black and rainbow goop, which is different than the typical “slimy” texture of some of my other dragons. His horns are dripping, his neck is dripping. His stomach mouth’s lips are reminiscent of the mouth from Audrey 2, from Little Shop of Horrors. (Live action movie). He is buffer in this form, compared to his 2nd form. I drew him with his neck outstretched, meaning, that if he was more relaxed, he would have a shorter neck, and this is the reason why he has a weird hole at the base of his neck.

Breath element : Tarr goop. Although you can just consider it actually coming from his face, kind of like someone blowing a bubble, rather than it coming down from his gullet and from an organ on the inside of his body.

Other notes: He leaves goop behind him… he probably can fly, but it could be a little awkward.

 V: B2

Dragon specie type: Tarr

Appearance Mix: Humatarr/Dragon

Specific appearance: He is much rounder in this form, his horns are shorter, his hair is… well… I’ll get to that. His face is rounder, and cuter by comparison, rather than intimidating and scary all, if not most of the time.

His hair and the hair swoop that he had in his “human” form, is emulated with a thicker and shaped “scale” on the top and back of his head. It is black and shiny, but void of all of the rainbow swirls that most of the rest of his body has. If you look at him from the back, he has these thick black gummylike scales down his “spine”, but as it reaches his literal head, the less and less rainbow swirlage you’ll see in them.

Breath element: Same as first book counterpart.

Other notes: Same as first book counterpart, although it would be unlikely that he could be able to fly with his new body weight.
