Wyverns - Blog Posts
I had to learn to draw wyverns for my last comic involving Gerome & Minerva, but I couldn't find good references of Minerva so to learn I initially traced over one of the Radiant Dawn mounted dragons to have a first general idea of how she would look. Sharing in case you guys can use it for reference too!
Uncommon Feral Dragons
A Dragon is a Type of mythical monster of reptilian form. They are one of the most well known and diverse species out there. There are two sub-groups, Feral and Domestic. The term Dragon is the name of one classification of their species, as well as a general name for them.
Feral
They are highly protective over their territory, and they will defend it with their lives. They are fearsome beings, but they are fair. They will give you a chance or two to get out of their territory without harming you.
Wyvern
A Wyvern is a somewhat uncommon classification of dragon that is characterized by a bipedal stature and wings instead of arms, though they do have claws on the bend. They often have a sharp, spiked tail, and sharp ridges up their spines. They often come in grey, silver, gold and black, with dark blue eyes. They also prefer higher altitudes, but they prefer old ruins and abandoned settlements in the mountains. They are slightly more agile than a dragon in flight.
Lindwyrm
A Lindwyrm is another uncommon classification of dragon that is characterized by two front legs, but no rear legs, and no wings. They have no horns on their heads, but they do have a continuous ridge running from the back of their head to the tip of their tail, and on their elbows. They have brown or grey eyes, and are often earthy colors, browns and greys, but pale yellow is known as well. They often breathe long streams of flame. They often live in meadows, plains, and deserts. They are very agile, and surprisingly fast.
Wyrm
A Wyrm is also an uncommon classification of Dragon that is characterized by having no lings at all other than a head and a tail. They have small spines in a kind of ruff surrounding their head, and a pair of horns, but nothing else. They come almost solely in greys and browns, with dark eyes, but white is known for the arctic dwelling ones. They don't commonly have fire, but it isn't unheard of. Ice is known for some of the arctic ones instead though. They are surprisingly adept diggers, and are very fast, slithering a lot like a giant snake.
Wyvern Headshots!
Mirtyn, Elysi, Noirn & Grimmere!
Playing with wyvern designs to show myself I can actually make cool designs with (limited) limitations (their sexual dimorphism.)
Noirn is comparatively glossy compared to her brother Grimm (Because Grimm could not care about his appearance.)
Added stuff under cut
I also imagine the Feathered wyverns speak in a different manner compared to other cities. It’s very loud where they originate, so perhaps communication closer to Morse code but spoken. It’s why Elysi Uki’Hest last name has that odd Apostrophe: a written ‘click’ of the tongue.
Wyverns live with the others cities along with the other species just fine in current times.
Also additional Wyverns but actual folks!
Elysi Uki'Hest, Current leader of the Ourinis Guild. A very specific Wyvern!
Grimmere (No last name), Current leader of the Nekis. Standard Cliffside Wyvern.
More Under, just names and other bits.
Grimmere’s easier to start with: He’s an extremely old man and has seen his fair share of life- he’s in his late 190’s and he’s very old. He’s rejected the idea of retiring young and has worked and worked and worked. He’s a giant also. Only known family is his younger sister and most folks are speculating he’s training up a new apprentice to take over. He’s just a normal elderly guy helping to run a nation.
Elysi Uki’Hest is from an isolated Solely Wyvern city on the sheer cliffs on the Northmost point of Feylands. They developed feathers to combat the sheer wind and water-spray. Even their wings are fuzzy! They’ve lived there for generations— and now they have feathers and a stockier snout. Some of the draconic folks develop feathers but with this city it’s pretty much all feathers and fluff. Elysi’s pretty unique in other cities due to this. She— like Grimm— manages Ourinis and frequently visits other locations to set up deals or the like.
Wyverns!!
Overtime in general all of the species evolved more talons! Right now they’re sitting at 5 talons per arm with 4 hind talons with Wyverns having an additional digit (6 & 5)
More Monster Hunter stuff! Happy Monster Hunter 20th anniversary!
Always more dragons! I'm very excited for Dragon's Dogma II!!

“Cruel”
It’s not nice to chew with your mouth open. Neither is it nice to eat someone before they are dead. Ever seen those videos where hyenas are eating their prey alive? Yeah.
