Colored art of my grumpy Snape/McGonnagal like dragon, Maziah. Click on her to find out what she’s saying.

Some sketches of the other dragons in my personal headworld (which unlike fandom-worlds is the modern world with dragons existing in secret), who also appear as Shardians in my project "White Fire". The wolf-looking creature on here is a Shardian, in fact. The main character.

As far as the dragons go, however, there's Maziah, Arkelm, a nameless dragons based on the White-Lipped Island Viper (beautiful blue snake) King Blackthorn, and a demon that likes to go by Spectre.

If interested in learning about any of them, keep reading. If not, hope you enjoy the art.

Maziah: She came from a dream, and I haven't been able to let her go since. When colored, she is a rich chocolate brown-auburn color with violet purple eyes. She also has a scar on her muzzle, but I don't know where it's from. Her specialty is alchemy and the potion brewing side of witchcraft. Personality-wise she is strict and to the point. Not a very emotionally driven female, but she isn't unkind.

Arkelm: My favorite of the characters I've created that aren't the main one. His key role is in mentoring the protagonist, but he also has quite a reputation about him. Giving him the title Arkelm the Golden, for being such a noble, honorable dragon. As well as (coincidentally) the fact he has metallic golden fins, horns, whiskers, and wings. His scales and fur down his neck and along his chin is red, the scales blood red, the fur darker red. His personality is that archetype of the wise old mentor. Strict, stern, but not too cold. He and Maziah are rather similar in this way, except where she will speak her mind openly with anyone (but not in that brash, childish way teenage protagonists can), he is more tactful in his own words.

I don't know what I'm doing with snake-boi dragon here...but he's there. In the background...

King Blackthorn: Not actually a king by a monarchy...well, not anymore. With the world changing, so has the ways of governing. His title is merely a reminder of the past, but he still holds the position of the leader of the remaining dragon population within their hidden city (which looks kind of like a dragon-modified version of El Dorado from "Road to El Dorado", again thought of from a dream.), but in reality the way it works is more like a democracy... He's technically the president, but that doesn't sound near as regal. So they just say 'king' and his 'council'. Personality-wise right now he's just the 'good king' archetype. He wants to do what's right, but doesn't always. Like everyone, even he makes mistakes. But he isn't unable to own up to them.

Spectre: This guy...he's not exactly an antagonist in the normal sense here. In fact he isn't even real. He's in BlackDragon's (my sona's) head, as a part of herself. One of her 'inner demons' as they say. His specialty being in reminding her of things she did she regrets or is embarrassed by. Letting it fester and grow until it turns to self-hate. He is powerful...but at the same time incredibly weak. With the support she has, BlackDragon has been able to win their battles more easily lately. But not always. Spectre is called the demon of memory for his role in BlackDragon's psyche.

Some BlackDragon concept sketches. A what if, of if she had a sort of disguise dragon form, since the skull face and fur give away her true nature. A Spirit dragon. So she has my favorite crest type for dragons after webbed fins, plating that resembles feathers. Also the features and colors resembling an orca.
