Rose Dragon

Rose Dragon
Medium: digital painting

Rose Dragons are gentle herbivores. They are secretive and are rarely seen, living in the most remote mountain forests. They have the magical ability to spread love. They live in pairs. They are associated with love and romance, and courting couples will often seek out a Rose Dragon as an omen of good fortune on their future marriage.

Although gentle by nature, they are capable of defending themselves and their homes. Their thorny claws, horns, and spines are very sharp and strong, and although they rarely flame, their fire is extremely hot.

Rose Dragons are most often seen in the springtime when young males collect red objects to decorate their dens. Once he's satisfied with his decor, he flies to high ground and fans his wings to spread his blossom-scented pheromones. Females can smell him from miles away, and those without mates will generally arrive to inspect his handiwork. If she's pleased with his den, the two mate for life. Rose Dragons lay a single egg once every 50 years.

Welsh Dragon

Great Red Dragon
Medium: digital painting
Native to Wales, Great Red Dragons are your classic, scaly, fire-breathing beasts. They always come in shades of red, from fire engine red to deep brick red. They are very large. Their dense scales and the heavy plating on their necks, underbellies, and legs give them incredible protection. They are very capable fliers.

Great Red Dragons are voracious eaters and prey mostly on large animals such as cattle, but have been known to prey on humans occasionally. They seem to enjoy playing with their food, similar to cats, so every now and then a person goes missing, usually a young woman, and it's assumed the local dragon has kidnapped her to "play with." Great Red Dragons also enjoy collecting shiny objects. They live in mountain caves and like to decorate their caves with all of their shiny trophies.

Great Red Dragons mate only once every hundred years or so, laying between one to three eggs.

Angel Dragon

Angel Dragon
Medium: digital painting
Very little is known about Angel Dragons. One of the few species of spiritual or magical dragons, Angel Dragons are named after the messengers and warriors of God in Jewish and Christian theology. Like all spiritual dragons, they have no specific size. They have the ability to alter their corporeal size at will (they can cover the sky or fit in your pocket), as well as to appear to only those they wish to appear to. There is no evidence that they breed. No eggs or young Angel Dragons have ever been seen. They do not eat, at least not food that physical creatures have the ability to see.

Angel Dragons are both loved and feared. They have a fierce sense of justice and purity. Although known for their patience and benevolence, they are without a doubt the most powerful type of dragon when provoked. They will purge the unclean, and have been known to level entire cities that have become corrupted. They are merciful, however, and will single out the innocent and allow them to live. Their bright blue flames (called Holy Fire) are the hottest known fire in the world. They have the ability to light themselves on fire, but their scales and feathered wings are flame-resistant, thus they burn without burning. This, coupled with their dazzling white scales, can make them nearly impossible to look at when in full glory. Some Angels Dragons have been seen that have as many as three pairs of wings. Angel Dragons are threatened in power only by their arch-enemies, the Demon Dragons.

No Angel Dragon has ever died of old age.

Dragon vs. Unicorn

Battle
Medium: digital painting
A dragon and a unicorn fight to the death! Who will win? Personally, I think that unicorn's got something hidden up his sleeve.

Fox Fire

Fox Fire
Medium: digital painting

I was listening to Let it Defy Gravity and at 2:35, this image popped into my head. I don't know what it has to do with the song, but it was fun so I painted it. In all honesty, I think it was the sound of the music that inspired this, not the lyrics.

Elemental Flame

Fire
Medium: Photoshop paint


This girl is on FIRE!

Oh gosh, where did that come from? I don't even like that song. "Looks like a girl, but she's aflame..." Well, if it's not a girl, what is it? A bug-eyed alien?

Anyhow, this is the elemental flame lioness to go along with my elemental ice lion. He was lonely and wanted a mate. I think he got more than he bargained for. Ice Lion can be found here: http://kristengracehall.blogspot.com/2014/04/sparklelion.html
