Description
well, folks, it would be nice to get some comments, cause i don´t know how to revise my failures. Help me to to it better the next time![link] this was the first design of the quadrozytes, but at least i decided to renew this race. Only white and black dragons are really boring ^-^(yea, like my Hrinniras xD)
This is the new form of my gender changing dragons. They have a day and a nightform. During twilight they change their shape. The english on the Sheet is not very brilliant, so if you have any questions, please don´t hestitate zu ask. Actual, one year ago i wanted to make a quadrozytes designcontest, but i don´t know, are there any interested parties in designing their own quadrozyten-chara? Of course you would be allowerd to keep this chara and use it as you want.

i reserve the right to supplement the sheet with further infos.
ah well, it´s not on the sheet, but at day they use Photo/Lightmagic and at night shadowmagic.

This species is completely awesome. I like the idea of how they change their gender, plus I have a soft spot for viviparous dragons

Are you by any chance interested in reading about my Exodrake species?

Looks very nice!
You seem to want some critiques, so here goes.
Really, the only problems I can see are with the wings.
-The digits on the "hands" should be at least partially connected to the wings.
-The feathers should be more organized and be in groups with feathers of the same shape and size.
-The wing sections are a bit oddly sized. The "upper arm" part should be shortest, the "forearm" longer, and the wrist to wingtip section should be longest. These should help [link] [link]
Sorry if I'm a bit harsh

thank you so much for this sketch and the critique! That helps me a lot! Feathered wings are really difficult for me to draw and i´m not used to it.
But why have the digits to be connected to the wingfingers? I thought with this design they could cling to a tree without beeing caught with their wings in the branches?

They're certainly difficult, it's true. Hell, I still have trouble with avian wings. Practice is the key, though C:
They don't all have to be connected, but I think at least two of them should. The wings wouldn't be able to fold from the wrist alone unless there's something else acting as support and anchoring for the muscles (sorry if that's confusing D: ) It's up to you, of course.

wings are so difficult...more than the rest of their anatomy. -_-
it would be nice to study on a living object! *_*
ahh, now i understood! yeah, there must be additional fingerbones in the wings, directly to the pinion feathers!
That´s not confusing at all, you´re right.

I actually found this design quite interesting and well made with its ability to shift gender and form. I can come up with a few flaws but I don't know anything about the world this kind of dragon lives in so I don't know how important those details would be. I was mostly thinking about how it would be possible for this kind of dragon to live for so long, it's design might not be optimal for it (once again though, I don't know the details).
Anyway, very interesting and creative concept

thank you for the comment
well, now i´m curious, what do you mean with suboptimal design? Their world would i describe as our world (weather and constitution) but in a state of middle age. Means: + dragons and less humans.
The cause of their long life is the cell-renewing during every shapeshifting. It´s like a jellyfish, they don´t age after maturing, cause cell-aging is why we had a defined lifespan
Was this a satisfying answer?

Hm interesting with the jellyfish concept, it must be a very adjustable species though to surivive. Often the theory is this: the more isolated a creature live the longer it manages to live, just something to think about
Yep, nothing to really complain about, it looks good

hm, thats an interesting idea. hmm. maybe their live get extendet by the Photosyntesis they´re doing during daylight, that´s a lot of energy. wel, i see, i have to elaborate on their life-functions
