#smaugust #smaugustcircle Day 11: Devonian This creature belongs to a group of dolusdracoform dragons which only kept one pair of limbs and often took to the water. Its species is euryhaline, meaning it can live both in freshwater and in saltwater. Despite its intimidating (1/3)

#smaugust #smaugustcircle Day 8 & 9: Mineral + Salt Water Here we have another Dragon Mania Legends redesign, the Jade Devil. Due to its jade-inspiration and its aquatic features, I found it fitting to be a combination of the two prompts Mineral and Salt Water. I imagine (1/2)

Smaugust Day 8 - Mineral 💎 Click for better quality + Full art in the replies! This took me a lot of time to finish, so now I gotta play catch-up with the prompts :'D #Smaugust2025 #SmaugustCircle

:D

#smaugust #smaugustcircle Day 7 & 10: Corpse + Rival An older and a younger male of this herbivorous, novadracoform dragon species got into a fight for dominance during the mating season. Usually, these battles are more of a pushing contest, but this time, the younger, (1/3)

#smaugust #smaugustcircle Day 6: Coil One might make the mistake to think that this is a single organism. However, it is actually a so called "coil" of many members of a diumvermian dragon species. These dragons eat, sleep, move and hunt together as a coil. The coil (1/4)

I am feeling quite sick still, so I have decided to take a break for today. Todays prompt is "corpse," which I may revisit later, but for now, check out this dragon I did last year that still fits todays theme. 😁

#smaugust2025 #smaugustcircle Day 5: Dancer Males of this novadracoform dragon species possess long display features on the jaw and tail and an even larger veil-like membrane than females. They show these off during elaborate breaching maneuvers during the mating season. (1/4)

Smaugust Day 6 - Coil 🐍 Full art in the replies! I had fun with this one #Smaugust2025 #SmaugustCircle

Smaugust Day 5 - Dance 🦋 I wanted to keep it simple for today but that didn't end up happening :,D Full art in the replies! #Smaugust2025 #SmaugustCircle

#smaugustcircle #smaugust Day 4: Steam For today, I took another crack at redesigning a dragon from Dragon Mania Legends, the Geyser Dragon. I imagine it spending a considerable time in water and being rather resistant to all kinds of poor water quality. Like hippos, it is (1/2)

Smaugust Day 4 - Steam 🍉 Full art + bonus concept in the replies! Apologies for the wordy post today, I had a lot of ideas for this beast. #SmaugustCircle #Smaugust2025

My smaugust post may be a little late today, so heres a preview for now

#smaugustcircle Day 3: Bell This darty flier is a dragon which specializes in feeding on nectar and fruit. It spends most of its life on the wing and is able to fly in place for a short time in order to sip on flower nectar. Even difficult to reach places like the pictured (1/3)

Smaugust Day 3 - Bell Despite it's strange appearance, I promise it is a dragon! Full art in the replies. #SmaugustCircle ##Smaugust2025

Here we have Smaugust Day 2: Whistle. #SmaugustCircle This small dragon is found at coasts and on beaches, sifting through tide pools and sand, looking for food. It's sensitive beak is great at finding and filtering out all kinds of small prey. These dragons live and forage in groups. (1/4)

Smaugust Day 2 - Whistle 🐺 Full dragon art in the replies! [ #SmaugustCircle ##Smaugust2025 ]

Smaugust Day 1 - Shaggy Full dragon art in the replies! #SmaugustCircle #Smaugust2025

Starting off Smaugust 2025 with Day 1: Shaggy. Due to time constraints, I'll most likely do pencil drawings for most of the prompts. This two-headed dragon is an insectivore and mostly consumes large termites. Two tongues, double the termite intake. (1/5) #Smaugust #SmaugustCircle

A birthday present for my good friend @pluracrura.bsky.social! 🎊🎁🎂🎉 Go check out his worldbuilding project, his dragon designs are incredible!

With the next Smaugust around the corner, I wanted to do another fanart for my friend @aurumdrake.bsky.social as 2024's Smaugust was the reason we started chatting. We'll both participate again this year and I'm very excited!

Here we have three members of the dragon clade Neotedraca, an ancient group characterized by several neotenous and more primitive features. Their six-limbed, two-winged bodyplan links them to now extinct prehistoric dragons. Further typical of Neotedraca are small body sizes, a fur-like (1/2)

Hello! I am in need of money for gas and groceries, so I have opened up commission slots for these portrait style illustrations! I am also still offering sketch commissions as well. Please check out my ko-fi for more details! ko-fi.com/aurumdrake/c...

#kaijune day 1

Quick redesign of the mercury dragon from Dragon Mania Legends, done for my gf.

Carboniferous insects

Breaching Leviathan

Some concept art I did for a more realistic take on a dragon from my childhood, Mrs Grindtooth. The source material she stems from certainly didn't age well but I have some nostalgia for her. I envisioned her species being all female and reproducing via parthenogenesis. (1/2)

The boys

The Odwotechi is a smaller dragon species endemic to Nagrani, a temperate rainforest on the continent Chetystran. Odwotechi exclusively feed on a single species of fern from which it derives the toxins for its main defense: Playing dead and secreting a foul-smelling, (1/3)

A favorite from “how to train your dragon”, wanted to draw a Typhoomerang! Gave it some heavier musculature and a thicker neck to support a horned head. These guys are really cool- in no small part because they’re huge!

We continue with the elemental dragons, this time with the lesser dragons, starting with the wind one🌪️ #fantasy #worldbuilding #dragon

The space one #godzillacrystalcore #godzilla #spacegodzilla #kaiju #kaijuart

"The Hive know this truth as well as any logic. I am here and they are not. Aiat."

Quick older drawing of the two human species living on Zemystojan. Despite their different appearances, they are very closely related and can have fertile offspring together. Though they may look more primitive to you, their intelligence rivals ours. More on them soon.

Every inhabitant of the Lezvysokh-grasslands bows down to its god, the gigantic Puthorez. This herbivorous dragon makes paths through the sharp and tall grassblades by the simple act of moving. Its secretions fertilize the soil and its young loosen it up. (1/2)

Now in color, the protector, Gamera #godzillacrystalcore #art #kaiju #kaijuart #gamera #gameraart

And to finish the elemental trio, the fire dragon 🔥 #fantasy #worldbuilding #dragon

Since I have already opened commissions I would like to share my kofi ko-fi.com/gaegral

Crossing Zemystojan's Uyedinney-desert is no easy task in and of itself. Instead of succumbing to heat and thirst though, an Udushikwo might grant you a quicker death. This macropredatory dragon is easily identifiable due to its characteristic anatomy, long tail and tail fan. (1/2)

The creation of this piece - from loose sketch, to more refined sketch, to line art, and finally to color ✨
