Description I did quite a couple of changes and improvements to the meshes and stuff shown in the last images and flash animation.

All poses were adapted to work with the new feet meshes and be more digitigrade.
The boots, or in this case better footshields, got a work-over to better fit the new feet.
The feather blades of my wing armor concept now became the actual metal blades from my description as the feather textures vanished.
While I was at it I also adapted the helmet to fit my dragon head mesh.
And I tried my hand at creating a fitting chest armor, as the light jewellery from the original didn't really provide much protection there.
I did this for both colorschemes, the original silver one coming with the set and my personal black recolor I did a while ago on request by *tiffawolf .

This is still Jojjo's Silverlight Armor adapted to male by AlienSlof. I just adapted it to my dragons' new anatomy... and added a few things.

And what would be more fitting than to give each colorscheme to the fitting type of dragon, in form of Drake, the red-gold and Dark, the Black Dragon? To cut back on the number of pictures I came up with this black&white duality scheme, which is quite fitting the relationship of the two.

Basically this could be seen as every-day business going on in Drake's subconscious, the constant battling between him and Dark, the incarnation of his dark side, who despite not being the primary conscious in Drake's mind is constantly trying to corrupt him, seduce him, trick him into submission, or just simply waiting for Drake to become weakened enough for him to take over control, every day since he became a second conscious in Drake's mind, since all negative feelings and thoughts of the poor little dragon fused with the remaining spirit, the essence, of the last Black Dragon in history, long since dead, forced into Drake's body through its blood and a lot of Black Magic by a Dark Wizard aiming to create the most powerful dragon in existence to be his servant, and became the entity named Dark. Well, long story short, it didn't really turn out the way this wizard intended it. You cannot control a Black Dragon when you can only "use" Black Magic. A Black Dragon "is" Black Magic and will always have more control over it, and he only does what he himself wants to. Nevertheless, the damage is done. Dark is real.

It is a neverending battle of willpower, Drake vs. Dark, Light vs. Darkness, Good vs. Evil, the righteous, caring, never-do-wrong red-gold dragon, self-proclaimed protector of all things living, against the egocentric, ruthless, corrupted and overall evil Black Dragon. If Dark was ever to gain supremacy, all hell would break loose on Earth.
