Description [I 'finished' coloring this picture a while back, but never posted it because I....well, I thought it sucked. I didn't put enough effort into the background or foreground to make it look good. So I let it languish in my gallery for a while. But, since I've never felt the urge to go back and try to fix it, there's really no point in not posting it as it is.]




So, in a previous drawing or two, I've extablished that some Dust Drakes use thier sandblast-breath to carve rocks into statues. Well, here's another of those Dust Drakes: She uses her breath to carve self-portraits of herself, and then leaves those self-portraits as markers whenever she abducts someone! The markers serve several purposes. They remind her of where the peasant came from when it comes time to return him, they remind the peasant of thier time together after the peasant is returned, and lastly, they let the peasant's family know exactly why the man of the farm won't be coming home that night!

....Because there are many other, more serious reasons that a man may dissapear from the contryside, and the Dust Drake wouldn't want the family of her boy-toy to worry unneccisarrily....

She probably destroys the statue

Oh yeah, that will go over well - a constant reminder to the wife of what took place.

"Harold, you get rid of that thing right this instant. I don't want to see even a trace of it come tomorrow!"
"But honey..."

Well, maybe the wife can use it as a stress releiver. Whenever she gets angry, she can go outside and beat the statue with a stick!

well that is one way of leaving a note behind. but now that I think of it what are the chances of a Drake abducting getting the same peasant? (and if this question doesn't make sense in anyway for some reason just ignore then)

I can't imagine how much time she'd need to spend carving these...

TriffRaff In reply to EdgedWeapon [2011-01-09 23:02:03 +0000 UTC]

True. But, she probably doesn't have much better to do, and I'm sure carving them is good for her ego!

That's certainly one way of leaving a calling card.

It leaves nothing to interpretation!

That was very smart of her!

She has it all worked out. Years of practive, and all that....

That's oddly sweet of her. On a querying note, does the family ever sell the statues?

I suppose they could, but who would really want to give up something with such....sentimental meaning behind it?

RageWood In reply to TriffRaff [2011-01-09 04:05:27 +0000 UTC]

Sentimental for him, but I can picture the wife saying "GET RID OF IT!" Also, aren't abductions supposed to be a little rough and hazzardous for the smaller participant?

I do wonder though, what percentage of peasants play along and what percent fight back (I assume in vein)

TriffRaff In reply to RageWood [2011-01-09 23:00:47 +0000 UTC]

Good point about the wife.... And a hilarious point!

As for the guy, yes, it would be a rough experience, but I'm sure any Drake worth her wings would make an enjoyable one. And no matter how much they struggle at the onset, they're all probably playing along by the end...
