[quote name="Sevi" date="2021-07-06 10:36:27" ] i would actually be super interested in seeing the subsequent art book Undel released, DRAGONART EVOLUTION... i don't own that one, and i didn't even know it existed until i looked up the original book! i think there's plenty more books she also released besides dragon art(?) but i'd have to research these are some very old art tips from 2005, but a lot of them still hold up stylistically! [/quote] That one directly includes some art of FR breeds! :D ...As another note, since I'm not sure it's been mentioned: Dolosus was essentially the mascot character for the Dragonart books, starring in comics that would illustrate concepts discussed in the tutorials- for example, [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/3034277/3#post_48271380]this comic[/url] that @TenderVulture posted was directly included, if I recall correctly! I didn't know he was a character in a webcomic before his use in the books, though. To be honest, I think the art books were my first introduction to Undel's content; I was a little young to be trawling the internet when Dragonart dropped, to say the least!

Finally a place to talk about dragonart and flight risings earliest developement!! I remember being very young and browsing the neondragon website daily. There was actually a little 'coming soon: flight rising' image on the sidebar I believe. I bought dragonart and preordered dragonart evolution, both of which had some super cool dragons and art! Here in dragonart evolution, we see quite a few familiar faces: [img]https://i.imgur.com/mXAij7o.jpeg[/img] the official fae art, years before flight rising launched! [img]https://i.imgur.com/Qe6fBq7.jpeg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/XXh9vk5.jpeg[/img] more official art [img]https://i.imgur.com/LFBMMJb.jpeg[/img] Oh what I wouldn't give for this little dude to make it onto the site..... cutie [img]https://i.imgur.com/YSwchy5.jpeg[/img] quetzecoatl ancients WHEN

Who's to say that the fluffy bat dragon didn't get re-designed into our Nocs? Nose/snout shape is pretty close, same with the horns! DragonArt Evolutions also has the beta art for Tidelord, Earthshaker, and Flamecaller! It also houses a joke regarding a OG FR skin [item= Skin: Red Plaid] "Do not give dragons plaid, it's not good design" (I now regret not getting Red Plaid as it's long retired and anyone who owned it either went inactive or are housing it for a perma/big auction.) Although I discovered DragonArt/NeonDragon AFTER FR, it's still pretty good and has helped in my dragon art in several ways. [emoji=fae happy size=1]
