Description (1/18)
It took some time to design a sufficiently epic looking dragon because dragons are generally awesome looking by default, but I think I pulled through enough to make a Dragon epic enough to be the almighty Dragon God!
Atarau is the All High God of all Dragons in my story, he is responsible for giving all dragons the 16 elemental powers: Light, Crystal, Wind, Wood, Poison, Sound, Ice, Water, Shadow, Phantom, Metal, Earth, Fear, Psionic, Lightning, and Fire. (bysthedragon.deviantart.com/ar… )
Atarau is associated with the Moon, Night, Time, Change, Cycles, Transformation, Wisdom, Knowledge, and Death. He has all 16 elemental powers, 32 Yin and Yang attributes, and the power to control the Aether.
The Dragons believe that the Moon is the home of Atarau and holds the gateway to the spirit world. Atarau's daughter Wairua helps guide the spirits of the deceased to the moon where they will spend 1000 years in the heavenly kingdom of the Moon serving under Atarau. Once their 1000 years of service is up then the gate will open for them and their spirits move on to the next life and then the cycle will repeat. Souls eventually reincarnate but they leave a momento of their past life in the spirit world, all memories and experiences stored in the branches of the tree of life.Β

Because I really hate those guards to the point where I want Godzilla to kill them.

speaking of which how do you thinkΒ Atarau Would react to Godzilla what do you view him as a monster and I will destroy his people always a misunderstood creature that didn’t deserve becoming the god of destruction or is the only creature they can stopΒ Zelophbog Which do you think is the most accurate?

Atarau is a god of the Dead and Time so he's kinda disconnected from the world of the living. I imagine him in a state of enlightenment where things just don't really phase him.

Interesting when you think about it like that but I might as well do you him as yin Sense that represents the moon as well and darkness and it’s surprising he’s not much of an evil God with things like the nights and death are associated with him.

In Greek mythology Thanatos was a god of death but he wasn't evil, he just did his job because death is a necessary part of life

That’s how I view duffers well as a neutral force so why do so many people View the Grim Reaper as an evil creature?

Thank you so much! As I said it was not easy designing a dragon god so I had to draw from a few references and mix them together to make something that's it's own thing

I wonder if you can see my influences...?

kostas1348 In reply to Bysthedragon [2017-10-17 15:14:42 +0000 UTC]

If you mean the elemental influences, then somewhat yes.

First of all, those "tentacles" around its mouth, are from that chinese dragon that you have drawn before.
Those "stars" on its wings are maybe inspired from the Psionic Element. In addition, those two marks at the
very end of its tail are referring to the Phantom Element, perhaps. Its eyes make me think of the Fear Element and
I think that the Fire Element is present here and there. I can not assure you that these Elements are the ones that
you used for this dragon, but I can tell you that this is just my guess.

Oh, well that's an awesome speculation, and yes he is meant to look like he could be any element it was not exactly what I meant...I was looking at pictures of different powerful dragons while drawing Atarau in order to get that godly look
