The FR blog of mine to stop ppl from complaining about my main blog

heading to the acclaimed achievements association to buy carpentry tools like i'm going yes i'm going i'm a going to the i'm going really going to the going i'm going to the yes i'm going to the hardware store

Happy Capitalism, everyone!

I wanted to take the time to share a picture of the dragon who started it all, my great Grandpa Bloodmoney! Here he is posing in front of his commissioned portrait right before he got chosen to be exalted to serve our grand Deity! Doesn’t he look swell?

For some reason, the family doesn’t talk about G. Grandpa very much, even though he’s the reason we have our vast fortune! In fact, I had to dig out his portrait from the trash, mumsy-dearest was going to throw this picture and his portrait away! But don’t worry, I rescued it and it’s safe and sound with me!

In the trash, I also found G. Grandpa’s diary of handwritten notes on how to make sweet dragon cash! For just 29.99, the secret of dragon economics can be yours! I was giving these tips away for free, as you can see from my last post in where I tried to find comrades in capitalism, but so many folks were interested, I just had to start charging to weed out the ones who truly weren’t ready to get their heads in the game! Only the best for the future of Flight Rising’s #1 Trading Guild!

This is actually the funniest bit ever lmao

Me clicking Relist for my 12+ dragons on the auction house knowing damn well nobody's gonna buy them

hello FR users if you had to become one of your dragons (and live out their whole lore from birth) which one would you choose and why

Either WarningHazard because she's intense about safety, and has permission to bite should anyone not uphold to the safety standards, while also having a pretty chill life otherwise.

Or Ally, who runs a Cat Cafe for fun, and only sees the Horrors through customers.

I would be potato chip

Because I too want to be a corgi with immense power

In November of 2024 Flight Rising released the Everlux dragon breed.

Designing a new dragon for Flight Rising is always an interesting challenge. The dragons need too be unique, fit into a square, and have enough surface area across both their bodies and wings for separate patterns (genes) to go into both. This breed originated from the Light Flight, and we wanted to explore a more alien dragon design. I came up with several concepts for the breed, but a heavy-set caterpillar inspired dragon is the direction we ended up going in.

Before proceeding with a final, I decided to do some studies from reference to learn a bit more about caterpillar anatomy and how their segmented, soft bodies worked. I did several studies from photographs of monarch butterfly caterpillars. I took the opportunity to draw in my sketchbook. Up until this past year, I have not been doing a lot of practice studies, and since picking up the habit, I’ve found that I observe more carefully and learn more by drawing on paper. With digital art, it is very easy to cut, move, and warp drawings after the fact. With paper, I was required pay attention to get the proportions as accurate as possible from the get-go, and I think it helped me to draw more mindfully.

With some practice under my belt, I proceeded to tighter drawings that fit the Flight Rising dragon style and template requirements.

And here are the final templates used for the game! Between the drawing and final stage, the FR art team provided helpful feedback on the hatchling. It was determined that the pulled up leg was busy and read poorly, so it was streamlined for the final. Getting an additional pair of eyes on something is always a good idea!

alright i'm gunna be the stick in the mud. i hate that the wind ancients have horse legs with claws at the end, it's bad anatomy. I will not draw them like that because it makes my bones hurt. This man's legs are broken.

hahaah thank you for saying it, their feet have been freaking me out since i first saw them

I guess i just see them as a slightly exaggerated finger that you would see om ungulates 🤷 like smack dab in the middle of “you could draw this more hoof like or more finger like”

Who fucking cares. it’s 2 dollars for a charitable donation. 4 pages of them talking about their efforts with sensitivity isn’t good enough for you? You guys are genuinely the most miserable people on earth. I’ve never seen a dev team talk like they are in an abusive relationship with their community before.
