THEY'RE DIFFERENT BREEDS
THEY'RE DIFFERENT RACES NOT SPECIES
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MUD AND A HICE IS THE SAME AS A PUG AND A HUSKY
I COULD PROBABLY USE BETTER DOG BREEDS FOR THAT BUT YOU GET THE POINT

The question is "kill yourself"
Winter: Here's a question for all you mind readers out there.
Winter:
BEEF WHAT IS THE SONG
First video here (hope it works) - Map part with some foreshadowing for future/ending chapters
Hoping so bad to get the next chapter out somewhat in time
I would have loved for Foeslayer to adopt Winter and his siblings at the end of DoD than whatever we got with peacemaker. Winter and his sibling deserve so much better

Yummy little desert dragons, these overcomplicated SandWings are!
Like usual, Joy Ang and Tui are awesome, I've just added my own spice.
Details and explanation below.
Otherwise, next week are the RainWings - I think you'll really like them!
More overcomplicated dragons.
Where do I begin? I suppose with the elephant in the room: as a desert species, they need to be highly adapted to withstand the heat and control their body temperature, so I had tons of fun looking for references to use. Their sails would be used like elephant ears to cool off, by sending their blood into them to wave in the wind. Perhaps this would leave it tinted slightly red, perhaps not depending on the thickness of the structure. I chose backlighting for this piece to highlight the sail (the actual dragon isn't purple, it's just the contrasting colour of the shadows).
Speaking of the scales, perhaps you noticed the scales on the sail? I referenced basilisk lizards for this since their sails look pretty much exactly like SandWing sails, down to the folds and lines usually included in official artwork and fanart. In this piece the lines you see are actually the backlit tendons supporting the structure - based on frilled lizards, which you'll see again soon.
I also referenced pangolins (scale texture), thorny devils (the slight grooves on the sides of their temples that would direct rainwater into their mouths, and bearded dragons (for the little accessory spikes on the chin, mouth, eye ridge, and nose horn). The extra spikes on the mouth serve a double purpose to help rainwater pool and keep it from sliding past the mouth. Lastly, if you're curious about the extra dark points on its eyelid, those are slits in the scales to help it see in sandstorms. Camels have eyelashes but potoo birds have these slits which let them see even with closed eyes, which is important when the main weather you face daily is sand blowing in your face.
Again, imagine how creepy it would be to stumble upon what you think is a sleeping SandWing only for it to be wide awake and waiting for you to get closer... chomp!
