All of the elemental lair scenes for Flight Rising, together! This was a hell of a project, and you can really see where I learned as I went. There's a lot I'd go back and change if I could still but overall I'm super happy with these and so glad to get the opportunity

Resisting the urge to Um Actually this dragon novel because it has the dragon eggs be like three or four feet wide but there is simply a limit to how large hard-shelled terrestrial eggs can be. No matter how large the animal is, the embryo needs oxygen, and oxygen needs surface area. The larger an object is, the lower its surface area relative to volume, and the less oxygen the embryo can receive. We think of large animals as having porportionately large young because mammalian pregnancy has the unique benefit of allowing for the size of the young to scale with the adult because their oxygen is provided directly through the placenta, and almost all the megafauna remaining on Earth are mammals. But this is not the case for species which lay eggs! For fuck's sake even the sauropods hatched out of eggs barely larger than basketballs! Your hatchling dragon would be impressively enormous if it were the size of a house cat. Stop trying to make me believe that this (ROUND!) dragon egg somehow supplied enough oxygen to develop an infant the size of a large dog or even bigger. If it were possible the dinosaurs woulda been doing it!!!!

I love you /lh. Experts going off on their particular fascinating cool topics and adding unexpected context to things we take for granted is like my favorite thing this was delightful. Talk to me more about eggs and geometry and biology all you want :D

Amazing concept

[baddywronglegs]

OK so now can we reverse it and maths out the minimum atmospheric oxygen pressure based on the described size of a dragon egg?

tundra little fang peeking out is the most important part of their canon design but you can barely even see it because it's 1 pixel

I imagine that in the colder seasons, faes in any clan just. cling to the tundras. Or anything with fur, really. Tundras are the nicest about it, though. They’re usually just “Yes!! Climb aboard friend! I will keep you warm!” And they carry as many faes as they can. Some tundras are seen with up to 10 faes on their backs at a time. Imagine, 10 little cat-sized dragons riding ontop of a big floof. So many. 

This was kindof inspired by a drawing a did a while back, too hueh

realistically speaking which flight rising dragon breed do u think has the ugliest hatchlings. like yeah they're all cute aww in the official art but in the universe where they don't have to be appealing as a png collectable they Gotta come out wet and wrinkly and fucked up right. actually before anyone says anything YES skydancer hatchlings would be ugly but they wouldn't be pigeon chick ugly they'd be like. green heron chick ugly

[heckling-hydrena]

they'd be this.
