Description So a few months ago i started writing a story about dragon shapeshifters (and no it had nothing to do with flight rising). The dragons could be sorted into groups based on habitat, and my main characters were all from taiga forest. Demir isn't from that story at all (I gave up on writing it) but I really liked my initial taiga dragon concept

 

This was the first design I did for that series. Anyway my main takeaways were: prominent tusks, feathered wings, Big Fluff Mane

Anyway based on that I designed Demir just now. She belongs to a new dragon species that idk the name of yet but! Its society is slightly like a bee hive, dragons are born into their roles and will have varying body types despite being all the same species. Demir is a guard, far more heavyset than her more delicate peers, equipped with a venomous spur at the tip of her tail and large tusks and claws to give her an edge in battle. She's about 20ft tall at the shoulder, and her wings are probably ungodly huge. She's a little unsure of herself, kind of nervous, and she stammers a lot, but you won't find a dragon more devoted to her duties; protection, she believes, is the deepest act of love and devotion in the world.

I haven't done up a design for the dorsal surface of her wings but they'll probably remain dark.

I'll be drawing up the other worker classes of his dragon species soon enough

The design looks pretty nice, and Demir looks awesome. The tusks look a bit creepy to me, but then again: they're tusks. Those usually look either comical or creepy.

thanks! I love tusks as part of creature design, I think they add an extra 'wild' touch that isn't as cliche as claws or regular fangs. The creepy factor is a plus :>

You're welcome! And you're definitely right about that. It suits the design better than fangs anyway and you don't see it as often, so it adds a bit of originality as well ^^

That's the idea! I thought that simple fangs would be lost in her design

Yeah, probably. The tusks do stand out! (not in a bad way of course )

I really like the lighting and their warm colors!  @.@ (incidentally did you mean to keep swapping their pronouns around? lol)

Thanks! Demir's a she, I just made some really terrible, awkward sentences due to tiredness. ('It's a new dragon species' not referring to her but to the concept as a whole). I'll clean them up now
