🔥🐉 Meet My Original Dragon Characters 🐉❄️

Both dragons are brothers and cannot tolerate one another. I had a story built that these guys were tricked by a dark sorcerer and forever trapped within a bubble at a ruined castle they thought was plundered with treasure.

Unfortunately now they take either side of the grounds. Pyrothrax takes the left side, while Permathrax takes the right. Both bicker just like siblings do, annoying one another.

This takes place in the same world as "Under the Moonlight", an Audio Roleplay series. The location though is set in the far west, away from the sun and moon kingdoms.

🔥🐉 Pyrothrax - The Red Drake, The Comet. Fastest dragon of all the lands. His fire is hotter than an erupting volcano...at least that's what he claims.

❄️🐉 Permathrax - The Blue Drake, The Blizzard. Rough and tough, he claims he's the strongest of all dragons. His ice can freeze an entire army.

Anyways, I thought I'd draw my boys once more. Give them a new look and they came out amazing!

Might share their story one day...but until then enjoy the art!

Idk how often Universal does repeat HHN houses but I'd love to see Dueling Dragons come back sometime in the future

dueling dragons chapter 2 (wip)

i promise i haven't forgotten about this!! i think i need to spend an hour just plotting things out, but i'm still in the honeymoon phase of a new relationship... i think i finally have an intro i don't hate, so i'm sharing it here as a little bonus content for my fellow kaijou followers!

It had been a hell of a day at Kaiba Corp, and for Yuuto Tanaka, personal assistant to Seto Kaiba himself, he knew hell.

The man was on a rampage today. His first three calls in the morning, he’d chewed out the other executives and given his ultimatums for how they would interact with Kaiba Corp. Inevitably, it would mean sending out the other teams to do damage control and ensure their partners that not every interaction would be like this. It was an outright lie, but egos had to be soothed. For lunch, Tanaka delivered Kaiba’s protein shake as he smashed away on his keyboard, rewriting lines of code he was sure their development team had screwed up. Statistics were delivered, presentations scheduled, and then it was 2:00. Tanaka had been dreading this meeting most of all.

Tanaka hadn’t been around for the Battle City days. He’d only known of Duel Monsters and Kaiba Corp in passing, and from the few international incidents they’d caused, but on moving to Domino City and entering the working world, it’d become unavoidable. He’d known Seto Kaiba and Yugi Muto were the titans of Duel Monsters, their statues holding the foundation for what the game would become, and then there was Joey Wheeler. He’d retained a sort of underdog status thanks to his play style, and his wins were never guarantees. Tanaka only really knew, when he sat behind Seto Kaiba at dueling tournaments, that his boss would regard the field with disdain, and his commentary would get more animated with each card Joey Wheeler played. The two hated each other, that much was clear. What wasn’t clear was exactly why.

When marketing had presented their proposal, Tanaka had figured it would go down in flames. But Isono had worked his magic, and now Tanaka trailed behind Kaiba towards the conference room, where they were greeted by bright eyes, a big smile, and a mess of blond hair.

“Afternoon, Kaiba,” Mai Valentine said. “I was worried you weren’t going to make it.”

The woman sat casually on the end of the conference table. A purple dress hugged her hourglass figure, and a cropped blazer rested on her shoulders. Kaiba stopped in his tracks on seeing her. Sitting in a chair behind her was Joey Wheeler, a smile on his face. He was dressed casually, but with a button up shirt and a brush taken to his hair to suggest professionalism.

Kaiba’s brows twisted up. “What are you doing here?”

“So polite,” she said with a smirk and stuck out her hand. “I’m here as representative for Mr. Joey Wheeler. I’m his agent.”

Kaiba did not take her hand. He remained standing as Tanaka retrieved a chair, unlocking his tablet to take notes. Two lawyers sat at the other end of the table, and Miss Nakamura sat up in her chair, hands folded over the welcome packet reserved for new duelists. Tanaka gave her a smile, and she nodded back.

“Fine,” Kaiba said. “We can begin.”

“Oh, no, we can’t.” Mai picked up the contract that had been forwarded to her, and it was clear she’d marked it with red pen. “When Joey informed me of the nature of your proposal, I took a second look at this. I know Kaiba Corp is used to having total control over their duelists, but you’ve made it clear this isn’t another sponsorship deal. Miss Nakamura was kind enough to show me the drafts.”

Junko’s smile faltered. The lawyers looked at her unhappily.

“You’re definitely not paying my boy enough,” Mai continued. “We’re talking image rights, voice work, and brand protection. My client requires further compensation.”

“This isn’t a negotiation,” Kaiba growled.

“Relax, Kaiba.” She slapped it down. “I’ve only got the one counteroffer. 10% increase across the board. Unless your product is a flop, which is frankly unlikely, that should set up Mr. Wheeler with a nice little nest egg for future endeavors.”

One of the lawyers laughed. “Ten percent is well above what our duelists are signed on for.”

Tanaka’s eyes flitted to Kaiba. He was cold as ice, his face a blank sheet. Normally, counteroffers were laughed at, and Kaiba became a storm his opponents had to weather. But his shoulders had a weariness to them, a desire to see this done.

“Two percent,” he said.

Mai laughed. “You are lowballing me! Eight.”

“Five.”

“Done.” She snatched his hand, giving a firm shake. Kaiba immediately withdrew, and she laughed, sitting down beside her client. “You all heard him. Let’s get this paperwork signed.”

“Not quite,” Kaiba said. A telltale smirk crossed his face. “Before we sign our duelists, we have to ensure they won’t embarrass us on the field. Of course, we check the tournament standings–”

“Top three international duelist,” Wheeler said, leaning back in his seat. “Don’t tell me that doesn’t pass your little test.”

“--but the most important thing is how they stand in a fight. Miss Valentine, if you would like to continue with our lawyers as his representatives, I will take the deadbeat to our training station.”

“You got a lot of nerve–” Wheeler jumped up in his chair, and Mai’s hand flew out to pull him back down.

“Of course, Kaiba,” she said, smiling sweetly at the room. “I know Joey won’t disappoint you.”

Kaiba’s warped smile said otherwise. Tanaka didn’t look away as he typed away at his notes. Junko caught his eye from across the room, worry slapped across her face. He could only offer an unsure smile. As far as Kaiba was involved, nothing ever went smoothly.

“Let’s go then,” Kaiba said. “The sooner we get this over with, the sooner I can kick you out.”

Wheeler ground his teeth down, and Mai pinched his cheek in a mock motherly affection.

“Play nice, boys,” she called, waving after them. Tanaka, as always, followed one step behind. It was his job, of course, but he had to admit, it was exciting not knowing what would happen next.

Dueling Dragons is finally done! That was a long weekend, UGH but I’m really happy with how the game turned out! It’s pretty cool and fun if I do say so. You can play it (for free) on Mac and PC at this link:

To be totally honest I’m not sure if the Mac version works... but it’s free so don’t worry about it

As a quick experiment I added something over top the skulls! Going to be moving onto completely new designs after this one and let the skull series sit for a while.
