taking another attempt at making 3d models. ofc i start with the whiptail, because Suffering. but damn. Long Tail. it isn't even full length yet, it's supposed to be about 2.5x the length of the body- and the body is also like, half the length it should be atm, woops.

[worldofaneith]

progress! some structural improvement, and full body length is down now. some parts need thickening up, the tail mainly, and the back legs. conversely, the neck could be thinned out a little, specially right at the chest.

main focus so far has just be getting the overall body in place, but that's just about done- only thing missing is the rest of the wings, and the horns. afterwards, it's just structure edits until it looks right. and some detail work, like eyes, teeth, and nose- luckily whiptails don't have any spines or anything to be added, so that'll be fairly quick.

got tired of it looking 'off' and finally did some real measurements based on my old lineart and. turns out, i actually made the tail too damn short STILL. by almost 20 feet! that green mark is where the tail tip is SUPPOSED to be. what the fuck.

fun facts as a result of the calendar Aneith uses-

there are 9,820 hours in a full year (about 1,060 more than on earth!)

240 hours in a week

41 weeks in a year

492 days in a year

just thought that bit of trivia was interesting c:

[worldofaneith]

Whiptail owners who note that their Whiptails have laid too few eggs will sometimes take the nest and either sell the eggs to be raised elsewhere, or simply cull them. This frees up the parents to have another clutch the next year, when they’d be otherwise focused on raising their young.

[worldofaneith]

Kytael are an egg-bearing species, however, they’re too large to nest on the eggs directly. so, the parents will usually dig a small indent in the ground, they their eggs (up to three, though they most frequently only have one) there, and then cover it with dirt until the sides of the eggs are covered. the top is then covered with foliage to retain warmth. one or both parents with stand directly over the nest at a time, in order to guard it from potential predators.

[worldofaneith]

carts built to be hauled by Whiptail Dragons usually have straps built underneath them for the tail to rest on, to keep it out of the way of the wheels and to prevent the dragon from being forced to drag it against the ground, which could damage the tail.

Vaer facts-

the word ‘Vaer’ comes from ‘Vampire Deer’. not terribly creative, but it’s stuck now.

[worldofaneith]

Maervic are referred to as ‘bucks’ for males, and ‘does’ for females. Stagethope are referred to as ‘harts’ for males, and ‘hinds’ for females. this carries over when they're turned into Vaer.
