🦊 FurryTrish Henderson / Adiago / Spacedrake Designs / Sevva-Phoenix - Furry artist who claims to be both Poly, and Monogamous with insane paranoia about people stealing their mediocre, ripped-off artwork.
I was tempted to give you an autistic rating about halfway through reading just due to the length, but when I finished realized that I'm even more autistic for reading the whole damn thing, notes and all. Well done.
Sorry to DP in the thread but it's been a few days and SoftDilo's mask has been slipping pretty badly.

First off, she's joined the bandwagon of (rightfully in my opinion) dunking on Activision-Blizzard... by continuing to lie about how she's an industry-level graphic designer that somehow nobody has ever heard of that's in charge of a team which has dealt with sexism in the workplace. I'm assuming this is also lowkey referrential to when she lost interest in WoW.

SoftAdilago engaged in another passive aggressive uwu slapfight with people who use Huion and once again shilled for Wacom, and pulled the "lol why are you commenting on my post it's been x amount of time" thing that she did on her EdenDragon account recently with one of the feathered raptor replies.

She liked yet another zodiac post that just happened to contain Saggitarius in it.

I'm pretty sure Trish also sperged about Godzilla one of her mains or alts a while back, specifically complaining about how the new design was fat or something.
Interestingly, neither Adiago nor SoftDilo have made any kind of comment regarding the new archive account whatsoever, not even a "it's all fake news" statement from Trish's main, and her SpaceDrakes account has seemingly not posted anything at all, just going by the tweet counts at least.

Adi's Patreon has been more active lately though, which is noteworthy since SoftDilo's art has seemingly fallen by the wayside during this time, with only the new Godzilla portrait and a portrait of her OC Ophy being uploaded in the last week and a half. And about that portrait...

The right image is in Adiago's favorites on DA. As I suspected, Ophy was probably ripped off heavily inspired by Tau. Really weird how the background has almost the exact same pallette (dark blue background, cyan near the neck, pink/yellowish near the head), if a bit less vibrant.
On a tangent, I was thinking about the accusation from page 82 that Trish stole some rando's sona. I did a little search to see if anyone brought this comparison up specifically and only found a brief mention last year, so I'm going to throw my hypothesis into the ring that Ezrael's design is lifted from Pannekoeke's Terry (nsfw) and the similarity to Hajinn's sona is just a really funny coincidence. I was bored today.
The gist of it:
Ezrael's markings feasibly look like a combination of her old character Allena and Panne's Terry, however Ezrael in general uses markings/colors Trish recycles often. The biggest indicator is that both Terry and Ezrael have mood-changing eyes and spines, and dark underbelly.
Terry is of Adjot's 'Drake' species, which Abyss Drakes came to resemble over time. This 'coincidently' happens to be the same time period that Trish tries to briefly crawl up Panne's asshole.
Trish claims that Abyss Drakes are original and are based off of her old species circa 2009, but she retcons old species designs to suit this narrative, as she often does.
To start; a comparison of Allena, Terry, and the first public image of Ezrael. There are more recent refs for Terry, but I'm using the 2017 ref that's most relevant to the timeline. We'll come back to this later.
Ezrael fits neatly into Trish's habit of using the same markings/colors over and over on whatever animal or species she's into for her sonas. Darker stockings, chevrons circa early 2000s, gray with more gray and blue, etc.
The biggest difference is that Ezrael is the first instance of her using a dark underbelly on her sona, like Terry, which she mentions herself in the description of the first Ezrael drawing she posts. She also shares the same mood-changing eyes and spines, although Terry's spines are on his cheeks and Ezrael has them down her back. The other important thing to note is that she originally does not look like one of Adjot's Drakes; she has a well-defined forehead. She is also not the first Abyss Drake.
Abyss Drakes are a hybridization of two of her previous drake species, the Veil Drake and the Rift Drake. Veil Drakes are her bastardization of Schkyzm's Dragonmare species, while Rift Drakes are just fluffy little pedo-bait porn machines.
The first Abyss Drake is her short-lived sona Damian. He initially makes sense as a hybridization of Veil/Rift. He has the general Veil body, feet, and elongated face, with a Rift drake's more rounded nose and wings. Like the first image posted of Ezrael, his original design doesn't look like Adjot's Drakes.
With that exposition out of the way, here's a timeline of why I think Panne was the catalyst that made Abyss Drakes the bullshit that they are now:
11/23/2017: Panne posts the 2017 ref of Terry https://www.furaffinity.net/view/25533998/. No obvious interactions between Panne and Trish yet, but they have mutual friends such as Ivenvorry. 11/28/2017: Trish posts the ref of Damian, as shown above. 11/28/2017-2/3/2018: Trish draws a bunch of Damian, and look at all those foreheads.
2/3/2018-8/16/201: Trish attempts a whirlwind bromance with Panne, suddenly commenting on most of their images during this period. Many of these images (including the first image) contain Terry.
2/11/2018: Trish posts the first image of Ezrael, as posted above. Damian drops off the map at this point. 2/17/2018: Trish posts an 'evolution chart' of her characters to explain where Abyss Drake babies come from. I've added some of the most recent examples of characters/species before this image was posted to show how this starts to retcon old anatomy and everyone's faces start to get chunky (to be fair Fern/the Mistavian dragon has been blocky since originally being an Amai clone, even though he was originally a feral Veil Drake and not a different species at all). I tried to keep the text unblocked so you can enjoy how Rift Drakes found feral dragons in the wilderness and thought 'sure let's steal their jizz'.
2/21/2018: Trish comments on Panne's next image (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/26458947/). I find this one interesting because unlike most of her future comments that consist of 'hey cool art', this shows her attempts to reach out to them.
2/28/2018: Now let's get Spicy. Trish posts FFI's Drake character Dmitri for the first time. But, there are two archives of it. The first time it is posted, she simply states 'this is FFI's Drake'. She apparently deleted it and reposted it a couple of hours later with a new description that says no, this is an Abyss Drake and links to a variety of other submissions that supposedly inspired the design, mainly refs of FFI's Sethos. We can only imagine what sorts of comments she got to drive her to wipe the original.
It goes without saying but Dmitri looks like Adjot's Drakes, and nothing like previous iterations of Ezrael/Damian that have been posted thus far.
3/8/2018: Trish posts the official first Ezrael ref. She still has a bit of forehead, which makes the slip up of Dmitri being called a 'Drake' all the more interesting. As she states 'it's been waiting for almost a month now', I think this was sketched before she went full Adjot on Dmitri.
3/19/2018: Trish posts an image of Ezrael and Dmitri, which was directly inspired of a drawing Panne did which included Terry (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/26714414/).
7/30/2018: Panne posts what was originally a commission for Trish of Ezrael and Dmitri (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/28174492/). 8/11/2018: Panne posts more art that Trish comments on (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/28301068/). Trish's comments aren't interesting (other than the fact that she's going owo at brother/sister incest) but it includes this comment chain:
And finally, here is the previously leaked Patreon where Trish claims Abyss Drakes are different from Drakes because of minute proportional differences or something and we're all dumb-dumb-booby-heads.
There are multiple issues with this. First of all, most of the examples she chose for herself are 2020-era drawings. When she says she chose the 'oldest' version of her drakes she means she posted some random 10-year-old drawing of Fern, who was at the time a Veil Drake and not her 'only sentient feral dragon species' aka Mistavian or whatever (even this is new, in 2007 he was a 'Furr Dragon'). By picking 2020s drawings, she ignores some of the more damning similarities that existed when Abyss Drakes were first taking form. And at the end of the day, these drawings are cherry-picked to make what points she wants to make because Trish cannot keep consistent anatomy to save her life.
Notice how even her 'furever characters' Kisu and Fern, who she's had since birth, spent many years with consistent designs until she decided to give everyone block heads to prove her point.
I am still inclined to believe that some of the design was stolen from Hahjin, just because Ezrael and Tahjin are so identical and the former appeared during years when Hahjin was very active on FA. While many design elements could've been lifted from Dimitri/Firefox, such as the horn style and muzzle bands, it strikes me as far too coincidental that it all meshed together in nearly the exact same way.
That said, the rest of this is absolutely on point and I wouldn't be remotely shocked if Trish got the other half of her inspo from Terry, especially if she was actively trying to suck up to Pannekeoke at the time. There's no doubt in my mind that the porn she draws now is inspired by a heavy mixture of Panne's flatstyle comic pages with Snowskau/Adjot's more recent lineart and shading technique; prior to sucking up to Panne, most of the porn Trish did was pin-up style pages or more traditional, vertically-aligned comic pages. She didn't start trying her hand at the wider panel pages until well into her Abyss Drake phase.
Much like how Fern's long cheek feathers were the underwing/butt pinions on Kilara's Illumrae tacked to his face, Adi just took much of her style inspo from multiple people and threw it onto characters she already had (Alina and FFI's 'sona by association of dating him I guess) with pre-existing color pallettes and scrabbled in a few other traits to try and obfuscate the resemblence. Ezrael still has the stupid shoulder chevrons she took from one of the old artists she was obsessed with back in the day (I forget who exactly, maybe Riku?) that she slapped on Kisu, after all.
I hate to say it but her dino hybrid designs are the closest Adi has ever had to an original thought, but even then they're just because she wanted to get at Ivenvorry and Fortuna at the same go.
Edit: @Aardvark Park Yep, Fern is definitely inspired by the Illumrae, although not Ophy specifically.
This is Ardius, the counterpart of Ophy in the Illumrae/Avian lore created by Kilara; Ardrius is owned by Shinerai though I believe.
Some backstory; In the Illumrae lore, Ardius has a daughter named Miz who gets wed to Orphiuchus, but is actually in love with Ophy's son Exiel, who is exiled for treason or something. Fern is also exiled in Trish's lore or some shit, which I'm sure is a coincidence.
(This was the story that Trish was vaguing at Kilara about for having "incest" on her EdenDragon account.)
When I saw that Miasma dragon I actually thought of Exiel, not Ophi;
I can't help but agree with @Pukebucket when it comes to Ezrael's final design; the similarities are beyond uncanny-
-but that being said, I can definitely see how there's a direct influence from Terry's design and I would honestly chalk it up to her seeing two designs she liked a lot and taking from both of them.
The thing about the back spines though, is that she's had those since her dragonmare rip-offs as some sort of disease that Adiago and Elegy would contract and grow. It's probably the one design element that I would write off as coincidence in the grand scheme of things.
Not even gonna touch on the Kilara/Shinerai stuff; she's been reffing their stuff since forever and some things never, ever change.
She still plays lip service to "spreading love" with her art, except exactly what has she done for that? Drawing bored looking dragons/dinosaurs staring nowhere and vaguely aggro "big man pushes himself on a little lady" art isn't using your art to spread love/positivity, it's the same stuff basically every artist doodles. Her art has no message nor does it aim to create any real positive feelings because that'd would need more effort than drawing single characters laying around doing nothing.
And actually being inclusive would require her to be inclusive.
EVERY printed project needs to be in CMYK. It's just one setting you turn on (preferably before you start painting), and it doesn't specifically require any work that'd make it take longer. It's like a child doing something the first time, and trying to make it sound cooler by using the basic terms.
An approximation of her art in RGB and CMYK, so you can see how much extra time compensating for CMYK on average takes:

Lmao do you know what the coding for Furcadia Dreams was?
The coding program was known as Dragonspeak. All the coding was pre-written and all you had to do was click a drop down to select code and input the item number in the value. An example is if you were animating objects, you would set separate item numbers into the value for each frame of animation. Animating items was the most advanced "coding" you could do. Most of the "coding" was shit like teleporting avatars when walking through doorways so your Dream didn't look like shit. Using Dragonspeak was not a requirement in Dream Building. Most of it was copy pasting your object files into a folder and drag and dropping them into the program.
Adiago copying her favorite artists or people she claims to hate is nothing new.
Here is her copying BeastOfOblivion's headworld lore regarding her lockjaw species.
Exhibit A (source), posted by BeastofOblivion on the 20th Feb 2012
And here is the accompanying lore, posted on the 28th of Feb 2012
Pay attention to the part I marked yellow
Exhibit B: a crop from Ez's latest ref sheet, posted on the 30th June 2019
Adiago is such an unimaginative whore, she has to snatch anything cool other artists come up with and make it her own for complete lack of originality, which is why I don't think there are any reaches in the thread. If you see something familiar in her art of concepts, that's because you have seen it somewhere else before. Ez' back spines were most likely inspired by BeastOfOblivion's characters featuring them, too.
Ezrael still has the stupid shoulder chevrons she took from one of the old artists she was obsessed with back in the day (I forget who exactly, maybe Riku?) that she slapped on Kisu, after all.
I don't think that was Riku, but looking into the gallery I found that Riku made some slick dragon character a year prior to Adiago creating Damian. Might be a reach, the characters don't look too much alike, but there is some slight resemblance with Damian's old design, markings, and considering she still obsessively hovers over people she once had a bone to pick with makes it not fully unlikely.
They both wear 3-piece-suits and relate to Italy
(edited, put the images behind spoilers for better page browsing)
Edit 2: anyone know what Adiago is going on about when she claims that Lingrimm stole Fern?
I think I remember this. If it’s what I’m thinking of, Lingrimm went under the username Eelsleeves at the time. Trish was under scrutiny for stealing from Jennadelle/Schkyzm/Rikutida/etc and incredibly in-denial about it and making ridiculous jabs back. So to give Trish a taste of her own medicine, Eelsleeves made a sock-puppet of their own and made a bunch of art of a parody of Fern, playing innocent and acting unaware of Trish’s existence. Eventually they came clean and admitted it was juvenile, and proceeded to move on with things.
This is the only image I could find relating to it, from a time on deviantArt when she was trying to draw attention to the thievery.
Trish didn’t seem to care that much about that when she was getting commissions from them later, though.
oh yeah I remember that period, a lot of spite and hate art was drawn on both sides. Eelsleeves however is not Lingrimm, but I don't blame anyone (except maybe Adiago) confusing the two because Lingrimm copied Eelsleeves to fuck, the entire style they drive today down to the characters of their VN novel is copied.
I remember LG copying Jennadelle before that, the second drawing they did for Adiago you posted is from that time.
If this is why Adiago thinks Lingrimm copied Fern then it's funny as hell considering how much she hated everyone on Schkyzm's side, how LG weren't even active outside of russian communities back then or part of the drama and how much Adiago was later cozying up to them as she always does with artists that catch her interest. Then again shouldn't be surprising she's got issues with her memory since she's delusional as hell and keeps changing dates for when her creations supposedly sprung from her very rich and very original mind.
Edit: I went to Kizucorn's userpage (the bait account that redrew Adiago's art back then) and the memories are coming back. In the end the admins on dA got convinced that Adiago is actually the plagiarist and had her own art removed from her gallery because the admins are retards. Shit was hilarious.
She's also still sniffing around Eelsleeves' (now lamentobento), as at one point she had followed hanghul (lamento's partner or such) in twitter as Softdilo. I didn't get a screen and that follow disappeared relatively fast so it's possible she got blocked.
Much like how Fern's long cheek feathers were the underwing/butt pinions on Kilara's Illumrae tacked to his face, Adi just took much of her style inspo from multiple people and threw it onto characters she already had (Alina and FFI's 'sona by association of dating him I guess) with pre-existing color pallettes and scrabbled in a few other traits to try and obfuscate the resemblence. Ezrael still has the stupid shoulder chevrons she took from one of the old artists she was obsessed with back in the day (I forget who exactly, maybe Riku?) that she slapped on Kisu, after all.
Did a little digging to see when the chevrons appeared on Kisu. The earliest picture I know of that survived is the imfamous 2007 Kytennish revenge pic, where Kisu doesn't have much of anything going on. Her colors are probably inspired by the webcam image she stole from Kytennish that started this whole adventure. The first time Kisu appeared on her Adiago FA, after she finally stopped pretending to be some spanish dude, was the tail end of 2009. The chevrons at this point were just bar markings, which may be remnant inspiration from jennadelle/Mimi but someone with a better memory probably can recall characters from that time period with similarities. By mid-2010 the bars became chevrons.
I had tried to dig around to see if anyone on her shit list during that period had similarities, and stumbled upon a familiar face (and face markings) with Airu's sona. I don't think Airu interacted at all with Trish, but was popular at the time. Also, Airu's sona species is...A Kitsu.
Some more eldritch knowledge I stumbled upon in digging up old sources:
It was mentioned before how Trish copied the name of lamentobento's senx/sanx/whatever with her Senxet species she started with on Adiago. Well surprise!, her dragonmare ripoffs were originally called panwere. Because that doesn't sound like dragonmare in the slightest (https://floofy-ponies.livejournal.com/).
Proof Trish was imping on Kilara way back in 2010.
She gazed up at him, her eyes fixed at the lithe form that had just completed a beautiful spiral-twist in mid air.
A smile formed across her maw and she stretched her legs, leaping off the dusty cliff, and swirling around him.
I watched in awe as they flew, circling, twirling, the happiest I'd seen him.
The happiest I'd seen Fern.
His eyes sparkled, more than they had in years. He'd found a mate. I was thrilled. Amelia was beautiful in this form, powerful, yet petite, her scales glistened like a ravens feathers. She was magic. They both were.
...How could I have known...
...That this would be the last flight they ever took...
...How could I have known, that on this day, something lurking in the shadows was darker than their magic, and full of more hate than all the worlds demons..
How could I have not seen it, the wretched beast slithering upon the other side of the cliff, watching..waiting.
-Queen Sevva Angellis Astronnoir I, from the official documents regarding Chaos
DETAILS
Huge huge huge oh-god-why huge file under download.
Fern and Amelia, one of their last flights together.
Let me know what you think of Ferns final design. I think this new look is far more unique to me than past looks for him. :] Amelia's look has changed as well..as you've noticed?
Here's for credits:
~FoxNede(dA) Helped a ton with critiques and advice with how to make it so Fern and Amelia flowed better together.
Amelia is some sort of leopard gecko-raven like dragon. As in she has the colors of a raven, and the thick tail of a gecko, as it was seen in this pic here: [link] (changed this design to make it seem far less avian)
Credit in part for the tail design is from =kilara(dA), as it resembles, (without the glow or power and whatnot, the tails of her avians/Amelias is simply a large bludger with a very sharp hook at the end.)
I had to go to encyclopediadramtica to dig up that old Kytennish image, and noticed this some more classic Trish eyeballing (https://www.deviantart.com/whimsicalwyrm).
Can't find the original lines but:
On the topic of lingrimm, they were one of the artist(s) that Trish liked to namedrop when it came to how cool and hip she was with popufurs. I assume she enjoyed how lingrimm ripped on lamentobento so much, and tried to buddy up out of spite. She did a 180 when patreon started being more of a thing and artists were paywalling content. She had some cranky journal, and I believe lingrimm was mentioned as an example of naughty artists who didn't loveee their fannssss. Of course, then she went and made a Patreon. I don't believe she ever specifically called out lingrimm for a theft, but they probably just drew a white dragon or something.
We also have softdilo potentially attempting to lovebomb some guy without drawing him railing her asshole.
It was Rhapsodize's fursona she ripped off with the white face markings and the glowing tail. The artist was in Schkyzm's sphere and Schkyzm had just draw fanart for them or something, which put her on Adiago's radar.
The later change in facial markings was due to being inspired by bearded vultures which suddenly gained popularity in the fandom at the time if I remember correctly. I can see what you mean with Airu's face markings being similar however.
I can see she's already trying to rake in a new fucktoy on her dino account. Because it's sooo typical you draw your Just A Friend a picture of his character sensually preening yours sensually while sporting a blush.
I bet you she's going to forget all about the hunk dino character from the "sequencial illustrations" now that she has a new, actual person to project her romantic longing onto again. Because these characters same as Fern always just are getting drawn when she's inbetween relationships. It's amazing she doesn't see how much of a broken record she is.
Checked the dude's profile and he ticks all the boxes for the kind of guy Adiago always wanted;
-Younger than her by several years
-Dirty blonde, blue/green eyes, average-looking
-Furry with a blue fursona
-Hetero, Single
-European
She's already drew a dinosona for him a month ago; that blue raptor adopt that originally had the same colors as Adi's raptor waifu was colored blue and sold to him.
I’ve never posted here before and I’m sorry I am deeply unfamiliar with the formatting.
However, I remember it being mentioned somewhere either on this thread or elsewhere that Adiago also got “really inspired” by Shinerai (who was, at the height of Kilara’s and Airu’s more prolific period on DA) in the same circle of artists. Shin, Kilara, and a few other dragon artists were very active in the late 00’s and early 10’s.
Again sorry for being a shitheel with formatting but since Shin deleted some older works from her gallery, this still exists and shows the evolution of Fer- I mean Shinerai
EDIT: Shinerai also has an Avian character (Kilaras dragon species) named Nailmus that has long feathers that jut out from various parts of his body. Apologies for not digging up images, I’m on mobile right now.
Oh hey, it's that character that looks like a bunch of cobbled together bullshit. I was wondering where that came from...
Here's the reference for Shinerai's Illumarae Nailmus by the way;
I also like that in that art of Fern and Amelia... Hold on, isn't "Amelia" the same name as Adi's milf fox character who she drew fucking Fenra's OC (who then fucked Amelia's daughter because intergenerational cucking is what gets him hot)? Wild...
Anyway, the post for that piece credits Kilara for the thicker, gecko-like tail she gave Amelia. I already posted this, but those gecko drakes she draws for feral porn are also just eyeballed heavily from Shinerai's Boons, so there's no way she hasn't seen Shinerai's work before creating these.
Like everything Trish does, she just takes a cool concept already worked on by someone else and slaps some extra bullshit like feathered crests or spines on it and calls it inspiration. Just like her new dinos.
I feel that a massive part of this is that a lot of the artists Trish admired back in the day kicked off the early trends of having closed species on DeviantArt; Avians/Illumarae were a big one back then, Dragonmares were another, Lockjaws, etc.
The thing that makes a lot of these species different from many modern closed species (including Adi's own Abyss and Veil Drakes) was that the reason for their exclusivity was oftentimes due to their creators wanting to share them with close friends only as a personal worldbuilding or RP project, rather than to establish a sense of artificial scarcity in order to set up a paywall for fans to buy into.
So a lot of Adi's species really are just her seeing people sitting in their own corner working on their own private projects with friends and getting mad that they weren't inviting her to join them apropos of nothing, so passive-aggressively copying them in the hopes they'd take notice. Then when they did, she could scream at them about how she was doing it first and they're just copying her. Which is some real pathetic ass shit if you ask me.

Who hasn't Fenra fucked? But yes, Amelia was Rosalina's daughter/Halcyon's cousin and they all did the fucking.
Eros, that mishmash dragon, was originally posted on her luftschloss alt.
And also Fenra fucks it.
I found the first picture of the Aesthrai or whatever Trish calls the gecko things. She claims they're super old and based off of another dragon she drew on luftschloss.
Eclipse, first of her kin! She's the feature of a species of drakes I created WOW A LONG TIME AGO on an alt alias, you can see my original concepts for the race in my drake Citros.
I now have created a full reference base for the species including rare and exotic mutations, and will be offering customs as well as adoptables of them. This is an example of the full ref, adopts however will only come with the basic body pose, no mawshot or genitals.
Custom Aestharians are 50$ and orders can be made via note with the subject "aestharian dragon"
Please note I have rules:
Aestharian dragons are NOT an open species. As creator, I make them per my species guidelines.
Aestharian dragons at this time are based off leopard geckos and cockatoos, the plumage from the birds respectively.
Future Aestharii mutations will include ball python color morphs as well, but for the immediate future only leopard geckos will be the foundation of the species' colors/markings.
**Aestharii are not sparkledragons, therefore they will not feature green/blue/exotic/unnatural colors.
**Aestharii are male or female only
***NSFW works with your adopts Aestharii is 100% ok.
Bio: A cultural and vocal race, Aesthar(pronounced Es-thar) dragons (Aestharii plural possesive, Aestharian plural non-possessive) are chatty and friendly, they often will copulate with other species including bipedal creatures however, are incapable of breeding outside of their species. As a highly social species of dragon, their groups are led by packs of Alpha females and often times, harems of males. Homosexuality is not uncommon among Aestharian males or females, and often females will coexist with other females rather than males to simply avoid the conflicts that males of their species often will cause. A bull male Aestharian dragon is near 2 times the size of the female, and younger studs only slightly larger. Alpha females tend to have larger crests than their lesser counterparts; whether or not this is lineage or socially forced upon them genetically is unknown but it is similar to certain fish and reptiles changing gender. alpha females will often display male-like characteristics including nipping, biting and dominating others in her pack.
They are incredibly intelligent and resourceful and primarily live in tropical oasis bordering deserts and do not fear desert heat or sands due to a relatively thick, leathery hide. Though intelligent and able to communicate with sentient races, Aestharii are one of the few dragon races to not bother with needlessly "accessorizing" themselves in what they consider "human belongings". As such you wont see them wearing beads or jewels or scarves or collars. The only Aestharii in chains would be one sold off into slavery by poachers who would have stolen the pup from its pack at a young age. Because they are thick bodied and strong there is a decent market in slave Aestharians, they make excellent mounts and pack beasts if they are broken completely OR find a kinship with the right person. An Aestharii who has no pack will often make a bond with another non-Aestharii and allow them to ride him/her and provide companionship.
Aesthari are decent climbers and can scale large palms in seconds, greatly enjoying tropical fruits that are often found in high trees. They also prey on mammals such as deer and even other predators that encroach their territory. Their teeth are sligjhtly angled frontward, with wide gaps between them. These teeth are used for ripping and tearing. Aestharii do not chew their food and lack molars.
Eclipse is mine, please dont use her for weird roleplay or other stuff, you are welcome to purchase your own Aestharii from me!
first attempt for reference sheet, and here, finally I have a persona.
Citros will be my dragon for personal usage, Eros as well and Zeus still too but I really cannot help but love Citros so much
He is based off of the cockatoo type- citron crested cockatoo, with snake markings as well
It's still incredible to me that Sevva can post shit like "these gecko drakes are original to me because it started with my dragon Citros!" lowkey implying that they predate Shinerai's own species completely without any sense of irony, and then you look at Citros and they're just a fucking blue Shinerai clone.
Also pretty sure Shinerai was dating MoroWhiteWolf back then (don't remember if they're still together) who had a blue/white dragon or something. I remember a lot of art of their noodly dragon 'sonas being shipped together at least which I could've easily seen fuelling Adi's desire to want to have furry dragon power couple energy between herself and her partner(s).
Edit: Softdilo also posted a reference gift for some dude of his dragon OC and fuck if it isn't just Adi's old dragon art all over again.
Not sure why she changed the colors, the hues in the original work better together.
Edit: See what I mean? The design just looks a little more exciting and has more punch with the original colors. The muted blues Adiago chose are honestly boring.
Edit 2:
I read her tweet along with it:
I came across @jsniper19 in a raffle thread and was overcome with a silly desire to make this person something to give their dragon more life. so last night I quickly sketched this dragon for him based off his reference ^.^ just a random act of kindness, we need more of that
Is it just me or does this read kind of condescending? "More life", especially because the OP art, as amateur as it is, actually had more of an expression going for itself. This whole "act of kindness" thing smells of Good Guy brownie points, too.
