Realize this is basically my orange lady I already did but with a different pattern. Back to the drawing board. Sigh. I feel so burnt out on painting sometimes.

We're going to do something cool tonight, taking an average Purple Albino Reticulated python and pump some sweet Orange/Red from some quad gene Banana Ball python morphs.

Yeah I just wanted to throw it out there, I'm personally the last person who would notice a difference but I also didn't really think there was alternatives to Dragon Shields, they just always seemed like THE sleeves.

If you find some cool artist that make sleeves you should make a post, I'd totally be down to support some folks too!

We've played with Dragon Shields before, my partner found them kinda bulky. We're trying out new sleeves from here, the ultimate guard katanas. They have some really pretty ones from Ultra pro too like Bloomburrow :

Digital colored drawing of a coyote lifting their leg and peeing on the word "ice" in big block letters made to look like ice. Next to it the words "no respect for killers & kidnappers" is written in yellow.

A digital painting of an ice cube, followed by several hands closed over each other with water pouring from them. Bold text on the art reads: "ICE MELTS".

Thinking about calling it "Autumn Sunset" since Sunset is already a ball python morph. #herps

Haven't painted a snake since September. Doing a realistic made up morph, well at least trying to do that.

Hopefully going to make something to make the internet angry. #herps

He ends up giving us some notes and journals, including one about bonding with creatures. Then dropped casually that WYNTER WAS A WHITE DRAGON.

So Qi'va's grandmother was a dragon rider.

We have now found a cave and are hatching the eggs.

This caused a lot of turmoil within the group and ultimately ended up deciding to take the eggs to the Harpers, choosing not to hatch them.

On the way we stopped at the house belonging to the writer of the letter who witness my Grandmother and Wynter.

Fast forward a few sessions and we've caught up to the dragon cultists and recon roughly their plans, kill some higher ups and claim 2/3 (our druid squished one) black dragon eggs.

Qi'va had an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia while discussing what to do with the eggs and ended up claiming one.

SO, a few sessions ago we discovered a buried cache that had a letter, some valuables and a set of wedding rings
The letter told the story of Qe'ros and Wynter taking on a trio of dragons, a blue, red and giant green.

Qe'ros ended up being Qi'va's grandmother.

A graphic of a sticker design with various fossil designs surrounding text that looks like it's carved out of stone saying "Prehistoric Explorer. The main text of the graphic is as follows: "Fossils of the Mesozoic and Paleozoic eras. You're a real Prehistoric Explorer with this one. Matt finish, 4 inches. Fossil Sticker. All pledges."
