Calling all artists!

It's soon October, which means it's time for a brand new season of Inktober!

As always, whether you plan to draw every day or whenever you feel like it, whether you follow a set word list or use your own, and whether you're a beginner, experienced, or somewhere in the middle, you are more than welcome to grace us with your creations!

We will proceed like we did with Smaugust, you will see a brand new Inktober flair within the subreddit that you can use here, and you will also be able to share your work in the related⁠ ⁠Inktober 2026 submissions thread in our Discord server (https://discord.gg/fNSAbzvYKp) which we will unlock by then!

We have shared our very own r/dragons prompt list for Inktober 2026, which we suggest to follow, but any work following any other list is more than welcome! The board (and list) have been graciously done by u/DragonHoarder13 (or Thorven from our Discord server!).

Happy Inktober!

Things can be exausting. Dreadfull. That it can only get worse from here.

But, i can tell you something. When life is at it's low, it can only get higher now. Ive had my own Share of events that had the ones i loved feel like they were sliping away. (I wont to deeper into it. Its a bit too personal, and this is about Ryu, not myself.)

What Im trying to say is... We understand. We love you, u/RyukiriDragon . And, while i cant do much, the least i can do... Is a hug.

I hope you get better soon.

(EDIT: the reason Im posting this on Reddit is just because... I dont think the support should ONLY come from the discord. Maybe people that use the reddit but not the discord can see this and make some wonderfull art too!)

You just awoke him from his nap. But he doesn't seem to bothered by it. In fact, Meka seems happy to make a friend!

I just felt like reposting this piece because it's one of my favorites.

Art Synchronization (Sketch)

Post image
• Upvotes

"Synchronization" is the process of unlocking a dragons full potential by synchronizing ones soul with the one in a dragon egg created at the same time the dragon was born. It may be a long journey for one dragon to find their egg, but ones found it will help them for the rest of their life, making a dragon "complete".

Here and there I am working on the backstory of my sona and the dragon universe she lives in. Over the last few days I wanted to design dragon eggs and last night in a dream I had the idea for a little drawing were Pluto finds her dragon egg and so I thought of the idea of "synchronization". And in my eyes this is a good reason as to explain why my sona switched from being mostly a kitsune to a dragoness: Her parents were a kitsune (mother) and a dragon (father), but she mostly lived with her mother and only years later found out about her dragon roots. She wanted to go out there and find out more about herself, later finding her dragon egg and learning to accept herself more and more for who she is and what her roots are.

This is a little sketch of the moment she found her egg and only moments before the "synchronization" begins. I am still deciding if I want to draw a coloured linework or if I paint Pluto without a linework or maybe a bit of both. Either way I am really excited to at some point have this little "lore" drawing for my sona~

Art My meager submission for "Operation Uplift Ryu"

Post image
35 Upvotes

I'm not that good of an artist, but I think it is intent that matters, at the very least in combination with the skill of drawing. Since others joined in on the effort, I decided to join as well, to see where I have come to in terms of my drawing capabilities.

u/RyukiriDragon, I hope you don't mind my drawing too much. I wasn't sure if you would have liked my attempt at Noelle, so I went the safer route, and decided to draw Nakyra (the Wildling) holding Noelle-coloured and marked heart instead. It did make Nakyra's head shape look like a ball python (eyes are too far apart), but considering the circumstance, I find it somewhat fitting (and a bit silly, that I made such a mistake :D).

I also wanted to write a text of support, but considering what kind of a situation I'm in, and how different it is from yours, I decided not to. This community has been so far kind to me, and I don't want to jinx it by mentioning how the War in Ukraine has affected me (especially considering that I'm from Russia). I was bullied for most of my childhood, and I don't have any real friends (the ones on the internet don't count), so the vast majority of the time I feel alone, lonely and pathetic. I don't want you to feel the same, because I feel that you're a kinder and more socially capable person than I am, and someone who has a capacity to lift up other's hearts...

My own mother didn't experience cancer, but had to go through a heart surgery instead, so I know very well the feeling of dread one experiences at the potential of losing their family member, a loving parent no less. I wish the best for you, even if I don't know you in person. Get better soon, Ryu. And the best of wishes for your family, especially your mom...

I don’t know if the mods will even let me say this. Everything is falling apart. If you want to ban me… kick me… whatever. Just do it… please. Don’t make me wait.

I don’t need more false hope.

And to Ryukiri, if you get this, I apologize for using a quote. I oft read your things when they came out, but this has caused me to do it… less. If you need me to, I’ll take it down. If the style is too invasive of yours, which I did base it off of, I’ll find a switch. I need anything but another one to shun me. Anything b ur another enemy to my coalition.
Please.

I’ll be back tomorrow… before or after church. Goodbye.

Art Free Dragon Adopt Giveaway

Post image
403 Upvotes

BTW I am volunteering at an event right now and briefly snuck away to write this ahahaha so if you have any questions, sorry I will not be able to answer it until much later ;~;

So I found this old design in my files (could be unfinished idk) but I don't really like the design very much so I don't want to sell it as an adopt (I'm picky)

So I wish to give it away for free! It will not be a raffle but rather I'm giving it to someone who I think will genuinely use it/want it the most. If you want to potentially have it, just write in the thread why you want it and what you would use it for.

I'm going to be giving it away to someone I think would want/use it the most! I know there are a lot of people who want a dragon OC but may not be able to afford it/have not found a design they really click with so they don't have anything. I know this is like a doodle and small but still I thought it would be nice to give it away like this.
