Description "Saleua is a former slayer of beasts and was the mate of General Granis, who disappeared into Glacialica. After his disappearance her former home was left into ruin, as the beasts from the north assaulted it each winter. To add to this, during this period, humans had also began to expand beyond their own borders, attacking, raiding or even enslaving villages they came across. This and the new additions to her family forced her to find a safer place to live. She and her children traveled days southwards where they thought they could be safe from the chaos in the north. For awhile things were indeed calm, slowly but surely however, more and more people could be seen roaming the lands. Southern dragonoids, who she had never seen before, moving towards the north and east, speaking words of a war and them being summoned to aid the northern dragonoids in fending off the invading humans. These news would leave her torn between helping her people with the war effort and her children, it would still be several years before they would be able to defend themselves.

It would seem that the long peace in the north had finally come to an end and the winds of war were blowing her way."


This was an entry for a competition to which I unfortunately was unable to place into the top 10. But at least now I have another piece of lore for my world, and I think it looks pretty good for something I had to cobble together in three days

No sexual dymorphism for dragonoids? If not for description I would not suspect her to be...well,her with them big horns and all.

ThemeFinland In reply to Zaparcik [2019-10-01 15:32:07 +0000 UTC]

There is slight gender dymorphism, but it is mostly hidden under the robes that they wear, a garment that is used by most dragonoids in the north. The primary way to visually distinguish a female from male are wider hips, as they lack breasts.

Zaparcik In reply to ThemeFinland [2019-10-01 15:47:17 +0000 UTC]

I see. With clothes like this the only visual clue is hidden so it's really easy to get their sexes mixed up, for humans at least. I doubt dragonoids have any problem with distinguishing each other no matter the clothes. I'm curious how their war/contacts with humans will end up. Seeing your pictures up to this point I was thinking that they are the only sentient spieces on their world.

ThemeFinland In reply to Zaparcik [2019-10-01 16:42:14 +0000 UTC]

For a very long while that was the case, yeah. The humans have been there, but they have been more like a myth and people have been uncertain of their existence, as they are very secular and secretive. This is why they are very rarely mentioned in the history of the dragonoids, apart from the war of the north, which is the first major clash between the humans and dragonoids.

It's a shame you didn't place higher. Lots of lil chillins in the picture, a sort of wing motif with all the branches behind Saleua, and a pretty bitchin far-distance background all come together to make something worth looking at. I also like that all the kids have red in their design (except for the poor one getting bullied). It really helps unify the piece.

Cheers It indeed is a bit unfortunate, but I am glad to hear that despite the judges not liking it, people like this piece. It was also fun to just make something so atmospherically different from my usual motifs!
