April Flowers, May Shower

Well, so I know I said I'd give weeks of exclusivity to Patreon supporters, but this was done as a commission before I started the Patreon, so it'll be up on HF tomorrow. You guys will get exclusive stuff, but not yet, as 1) I need to use this to advertise, and 2) no one's been charged yet. 

So the exclusive pics are yet to come, and in the meantime at least you get this in high-res and not the crappy 1200x1600 pics are limited to on HF. Hope you enjoy!

As with other dragon species, Bullheads start absorbing ambient language while still in the egg, and by the time they are hatched, are ready for Mark Twain-level literature. Young dragons tend to be especia...

Tail Gunner (Revised Version)

Defying the usual Hobbesian lifespan of tail gunners during the Second Great War, (whose firing position at the base of a dragon's tail proved to be the most vulnerable to enemy fire and smaller dragon attacks) Elliott "Ellie" St. James survived the war in part due to the fierce attachment her dragon developed for her.
Agamemnon guarded her as jealously as he would any jewel, as he prized her not only for her excellent marksmanship in keeping enemy fliers off his tail, but also...

Our Eyes In the Skies

Captain Jessica Ravenscroft, with her dragon Aurelius
A crimson reaper, one of the few dragon breeds known to prey on other dragons in the wild, Aurelius nonetheless remained an integral and trusted part of Agamemnon's flight squadron for the duration of the war. An excellent all-purpose fighter, and a fierce and wily warrior, Aurelius was an excellent example of the benefits of having reapers in a bomber group, regardless of the wariness they might have inspired in some of the...
