know the difference

It has come to my attention that many people mistake wyverns for dragons, so here’s a post to help you remember

Dragon: 4 legs, 2 wings

Wyvern: 2 legs, 2 wings

Drake: 4 legs, flightless

Wyrms: long snake like body with no appendages, can also appear as a traditional Chinese dragon with 4. Legs and no wings yet can fly

Amphithere: 0 legs 2 wings, can be feathered

Lindwurms: 2 legs, 0 wings, long body

Luck dragon: 4 legs, no wings, can fly, long body, furry with dog like face

Komodo dragon: 4 legs, no wings, real

Bearded dragon: 4 legs, 0 wings, often kept as pets

Lin-Manuel Miranda: Give Puerto Rico Its Chance to Thrive

Alexander Hamilton fought to help his island home. Now the creator of “Hamilton” is asking Congress to help his.

I wrote this. Give it a read and pass it on. Thanks.

*vanishes again*

[dragonbrosp]

La situacion en Puerto Rico ahora es un problema de gran importancia no solamente para las boricuas pero tambien para las personas del mundo que querian justicia e igualdad. Los puertorriquenos necesitan ser el corazon de cambia en la isla. No debe ser una oportunidad para las corporaciones a beneficiarse del sufrimiento de las boricuas viviendo en pobreza.

I can’t say enough how critical this issue is. Puerto Rico needs to be built up and empowered, and that has to start by aiding the Puerto Rican people. Change shouldn’t come from foreign investors out to turn a profit. Puerto Ricans need to be at the heart of a new beginning for the island.

News About Chapter 2

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to give all of our readers a quick update about the status of the comic. The good news is, we are still working hard on it, and you will be seeing new updates from us within the next month.

The even better news is that the new chapter (and the rest of the storyline) is going to be so much more compelling than we originally planned. As a team we realized we were not happy with the direction our story was headed. We did some brainstorming, some world-building, and some long-term planning, and we’re confident the result is going to be worth the wait.

In the meantime, we’re happy to announce that the full-color print edition of Chapter 1: An Elf Named Kate is available for purchase on Amazon. The entire chapter has been beautifully painted in watercolor, and it’s absolutely spectacular. You can buy it by following the link below:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1519663641/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1459175690&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=an+elf+named+kate

Thank you so much to the people who have stuck with our comic thus far, and to those of you who will support us in the future,

https://www.patreon.com/nadine This is our final page for chapter one! It’s in watercolor as a teaser for the print edition, which will be full color just like this. All of this is painted using just watercolors over the ink that we used as the line work for the screen toned pages of the webcomic. We are taking a few weeks off to prepare the print edition. All of the pages need to get this same treatment, after all. We will also be getting ready for Chapter 2!  The print version will be available on December 14th and we will be starting chapter 2 around that time as well. Chapter 2 will focus more on our rag-tag team of adventurers Thank you for reading our humble first comic. We hope it made you smile. We created this comic because we believed that there was something missing from your typical comics. The three of us involved in the production of this comic all identify as Latina, but we are all also mixed race. So, we live in the space where people make racist comments about our families to our faces and expect us to agree. We are used to having our stories overlooked and oversimplified. We are used to our cultures being the butt of the joke. We are used to seeing people like us only as background characters, rarely even significant side characters, in American media. Things are getting better out there, but publishing is usually a few years behind the times. Even in comics, which have a relatively fast turnaround, it can take a while for change to happen. Sometimes you have to take it into your own hands to say “white people aren’t the only people who have these experiences.” And in some genres it feels like you have to yell out loud “White people aren’t the only people!” Fantasy is a genre in which this is especially true. And on top of that it’s a boy’s club. The creation of a fantasy world that had a place for women of color was our inspiration. That same inclusive thinking is our guiding star as we plan for future comics. We are awed and humbled to have anyone at all spend their time reading our comic, let alone to receive the feedback we have. A special shout out to the amazing people who preordered the comic at Anime Weekend Atlanta. Your enthusiastic support reminds us why we made this comic in the first place. Thank you all. See you again for Chapter 2! - Barbara Hernandez  Editor in Chief, Dragon Bros Media

https://www.patreon.com/nadine Kate appears! Looks like she’s taking a chance on adventure rather than tending the great tree for the rest of her life. Just as a head’s up: we only have one more week ( 2 pages) left of chapter 1! After next Friday, we will be taking a short hiatus to color and print the comic. The release date for the full-color print version of chapter 1 is December 14th. We will also be story boarding our next chapter! More on that next week!

https://www.patreon.com/nadine They seem so glamorous and exciting somehow. In just a few minutes they rolled in and turned Kate’s whole night on it’s head. Adventures are like potato chips, though. You can never have just one. Right? That’s a thing, right?

The party is completely ruined, guys. Thanks for sticking in there as we took last week off to prepare for the convention! Next time around the comic will be published so we won’t have to prepare other merchandise. In case you didn’t know, we’re going to be printing a beautiful watercolor version of the comic. Our scheduled release date is 12/14/15, but we may have it available even more often so keep an eye out for updates.

[dragonbrosmedia]

Hi everyone!. I just wanted to announce that I have a new patreon. Right now I’m working a part time job at minimum wage and the rest of my time I spend on my comic, the Wyverns, and other projects. I’d like to be able to focus my energy on illustration so I really appreciate any support you’re able to give. I just set up my patreon (https://www.patreon.com/nadine) and soon I’ll be adding more content like videos and progress pics.

Thank you for all your support!

[dragonbrosmedia]

Sorry that this page is so late. We are all very busy getting ready for Dragon Con, and also to move into a real house like real adults. Which we totally are. Totally. Note: We’ve decided that it will work better for our schedules to update on Tuesdays and Fridays, so we will be continuing with that from now on. Follow us or track the tag #The Wyverns to get all our updates.   Read this page and more at http://www.dragonbrosmedia.com

I love that you made them yourselves too. That's awesome! I have a similar style Star Wars dress but I took the easy route and bought it pre-made.

There’s nothing wrong with buying something if it’s too much of a hassle to make it. It’s always nice to support other makers. We just see cute fabric and feel compelled to buy it and do something with it. We’ve got some really cute Baymax fabric that’s probably going to become a skirt, and some pokemon fabric to make a few purses.
