I am unnamed

I am unloved

By ground below and gods above

Second founder

Child exalt

The unhatched egg in an untouched vault

I stand unclothed, without story

I’m the ugly

I’m the boring

I’m potential

Stark and blank

Untold future, broken bank

I’ll wait for them to let me in

Only fodder

Bargain bin

But they will fall in love with me

and give me my identity

I’m naught to lose and all to gain

And until then

I am unnamed.

Joining the long line of "this was supposed to be a simple meme / inside joke sketch but here we are" drawings, a little break from commissions with a fanart of one of my Flight Rising dragons, affectionately called "the moonie" for his XXX Moon colours.

Yes, the pose and everything mimic those of a variant cover from the 2014 Moon Knight run. I double dare you put a triple Moon-coloured dragon with Pharaoh / Sarcophagus genes in my hands and not expect me to make a shitload of jokes about it.

Also, first drawing with my fancy new signature!

(dragon link: Moon | Flight Rising - bio is still on the works, it'll be ready for Night of the Nocturne this December)

We have a breed that’s known for being a mimic, but it’s not Mirrors.

We have a breed that’s based off fae mythology, but it’s not Faes.

#flight rising #I just think it's funny.

Lads we've done some math

As relates to the anthro height chart and our new statueborn friends. Just to get a ballpark estimate, I did a quick survey of 50 rtb adult Obels. Average length sits at 14.22m. M Pose tended to be more average sized. F pose were more likely either very big or very small.

The female pose is almost a perfect split 25/25/50 Neck/Body/Tail which puts them on the stockier end of the scale with shorter tails than the average dragon.

This also makes them, in terms of actual bulk and stature, closer to Ridgebacks than Guardians. A lot of the original breeds have obscenely long tails since they're used to fill extra visual space in the composition (I often presume), especially those that lack tail plumes to help do that job. It's nice to look at but eats up a lot of their length...

Anywho Obelisks aren't as heavy as Guardians nor as tall as Ridgebacks but they're more than big enough to play rough with either.

I'll probably update this once the population stabilizes a little more.

#Wait they're less heavy than Guardians???#That does not sit right with me. They're Earth dragons born from literal stone.#The first time I realized how big they were I immediately decided they sound like a whole-ass t-rex when they walk.#(Anyway thanks OP for the info you sound like an FRologist. :D)

Guys not only can you DRESS the obelisks, but you can breed them with other modern dragons too???

How messed up is that.

#Yeah I can't wrap my mind around it yet either lol

Obelisks have a very dramatic death pose...

obelisks: be warned. a great danger approaches sornieth

everyone: oh jeez okay! what is it? how do we prepare?

obelisks: …

The Obelisk in the story is named Mirth, and it really got me thinking...what if, whether the Earthshaker named every Obelisk he carved or they chose their names themselves, what if there's a pattern there? If there are a bunch of g1 Obelisks going out into Sornieth right now and they've been named things like Mirth and Joy and Celebration and Curiosity?

I think it's very sweet to think about each new Obelisk picking some sort of virtue or positive trait they want to emulate. Like, this is a brand new breed without a history and without a culture and it's sweet to think that they're still picking what's important to them, and the first one we hear about calls himself Mirth because he decides that is what's important
