Raffles & Giveaways

[b]Username: [/b]Archaeoraptor [b]Theme: [/b]Winter Visitors [b]Species: [/b]Humpback whale ([i]Megaptera novaeangliae[/i]) [b]Entry Type: [/b]Visual [b]Comment (Optional): [/b][quote][url=https://www.wildaboutwhales.com.au/whale-facts/about-whales/whale-migration][b]Humpback whale migrations[/b][/url] Humpbacks have a wide geographic range and are found in all the world’s oceans. During summer months, populations in the southern hemisphere spend their time in Antarctica feeding. In late autumn they begin an annual migratory route to their winter breeding and calving grounds in the warmer tropical waters of the Pacific. They return south in spring.[/quote] Wasn’t entirely sure what to do with the wings, but most of the pictures I found had the whale breaching, so!

[b]Username: [/b] Shyia [b]Theme: [/b] Day 1 - Winter Visitors [b]Species: [/b] Arctic Fox [b]Entry Type: [/b] Visual [b]Comment (Optional): [/b] I had to! I think of winter + animals and I immediately think of these furry little babies! The scry itself is pretty basic- not much I can do about that since arctic foxes have very little markings. I used the tertiary 'Firefly' to act as snowfall and the Fade/Blend duo to give the scry a bit of an icy tint. Since the foxes are small I did a hatchling, specifically Nocturne because they're pose is very curious and foxes are known for being curious.

[b]Username: [/b] Beaniebby20 [b]Theme: [/b]Winter Visitors [b]Species: [/b] Helleborus ×hybridus, commonly known as Lenten rose [b]Entry Type: [/b] Lore [b]Comment (Optional): [/b] Lenten Rose is named for the time that it blooms, and comes in a wide variety of colors. (This is also my first lore that I've written, so sorry if I got anything wrong! I got a little carried away) [img]https://i.imgur.com/wXupUNn.jpg[/img] [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=57227254] [img]https://flightrising.com/rendern/350/572273/57227254_350.png[/img] [/url] [b]Entry:[/b] The snow crunched delicately under the young dragons’ feet. He was new to this sort of sensation, the ground giving way beneath his weight. The cold spread from his feet to the rest of his body, but it wasn’t too bad. A nice chill was one of his favorite things he had discovered in his young life. The dragon was nameless, but wouldn’t be for long. No, soon he would come into his name, as his parents had before him. He wanted to choose a name that had something to do with this lovely, chilly season. He walked, his pearl nestled between his wings as he had seen his father do. It was rather difficult with his smaller wings, but he didn’t want to lose this precious piece of himself. When he took his next step, he felt something else other than snow give way beneath his foot. He took a step back and found a beautiful red flower. It had been slightly trampled, but the young dragon imagined that this flower could endure anything, if it could break through the frozen ground and cold snow to bloom so beautifully. The hatchling moved about carefully, uncovering the snow to find more of this lovely flower, though the shades varied from purples, to pale yellows, to the dark greens that were so common in this season, to colors that replicated his own. They were all beautiful, and soon he found himself surrounded by these strong, hardy flowers. He would have to ask his parents about these wonderful flowers. Perhaps he would name himself after them. He plucked up the first one he had stepped on, and placed it next to his pearl, before heading back home.
