Description Artwork REDRAWN: 


Here is a dragon species that is available for adoption! The way that my species adoptions work is that I sell you the rights to use the idea in any of your work, be it artwork, writing, etc. I'll also give you the above picture without the watermark. Feel free to add your own details! You can also give the species a new name if you want. I just make up a name that I like, but you don't have to call it that. Also, I write my species descriptions as based from Earth, but if your story takes place in a fantasy world or another planet or something like that, you can always adjust any location names.
And if you're not looking for adoptables, just enjoy like any other painting!  
I'd love constructive criticism! My art blog can be found here: kristengracehall.blogspot.com/


Sold to ! Thanks!

Species description
:

Horse Dragons are named for their equine physic. They are the size of large horses, such as Shires or Belgians. They come in a variety of earthen colors, with rusty red (as pictured), brown, and earthy green being the most common. Their legs are long and built for running. Their feet have two toes each, which are hard like claws or hooves. Because they are heavy, the small wings on their haunches provide them with extra lift during flight.

Horse Dragons are excellent runners. They have good wings for flying a few miles, but they are not distance fliers. They prefer to run over long distances, and thus live in open plains and mountains, but rarely in forests. Because they are not built for crouching, they typically catch prey by spying it out from above and then driving down at it. They live in family groups of about three to twenty, headed by a lead male and his female. Young males are typically evicted from the group once they reach maturity and form bachelor groups until they can form family groups of their own. A female Horse Dragon comes in heat once a year and generally lays one egg at a time.

Horse Dragons are not overly aggressive, but they are very capable of defending themselves when threatened. They do not breathe fire from their mouths, but rather snort it through their nostrils. Their heavily armored underbellies and necks give them protection when rearing on their hind legs, and the spines along their necks and backs make it difficult for opponents to attack from above. This is particularly useful since Horse Dragons spend most of their time on the ground. They also wield a savage kick.

Ugh, some idiots on ED are calling my art "gay." I hate it when "gay" is used as an insult. That's homophobic.

Pupaveg In reply to MonocerosArts [2016-07-02 12:30:44 +0000 UTC]

Well, using "gay" as an insult says more about them than it says about you. So any sane person who reads it will think they're savage idiots.

I don't even know how "gay" came to be an insult. It's pathetic and homophobic. It was on Encyclopedia Dramatica, though, and that website seems to be where all the rude people and bullies on the internet gather. Anyway.

Pupaveg In reply to MonocerosArts [2016-07-06 11:15:13 +0000 UTC]

Well, it once also used to be an insult to be compared to people of colour, but now it isn't anymore. No one (except for a handful of people who seriously need to evolve) use it as an insult anymore and even "gay" is slowly dissapearing as an insult, because gays are getting more rights. Sadly there are still people who use it as an insult (especially teens) but I hope they realize one day that gays are just people and that being gay doesn't harm anyone or anything, so why be against it? Why consider it an insult? Probably because of the pathetic excuse that has been used (and is still used) to justify any form of oppression: "They are different, so they matter less!"

Someone else asked first, I'm sorry! But I'm planning to make a unicorn dragon, which is very similar to this one, only completely silvery-white with a single horn in its forehead and its personality will be a little different (probably more shy and solitary, but I haven't decided yet). Do you want to claim that one?

Okay, the person who wanted the Unicorn Dragon says they don't wan to buy it anymore, so do you want it? It's not a horse dragon, but it's similar!
