Farloft's Coloring Contest!

Bluekite, my artist friend, has been hard at it trying to catch me in my many moods for posterity.

I think she has done such a fine job that I am going to put them here for you all to see and download if you like.

In fact, I have a Coloring Contest. It will make the upcoming fall months of rain and school drudgery a bit more FUN!

Dragons for Everyone!

The art work is complete for the cover of the My "NEW" FARLOFT STORYBOOK. This will be released the day after Thanksgiving for all your hatchlings to enjoy for the Holidays.

The book consists of 9 illustrated short stories and will go up for presale toward the end of September.

Available in eBook and paperback, your 6 year old will be able to read it for themselves, and any child younger will enjoy having it read to them.

For My 9 to adult reading check out the links below my header for you favorite purchasing site.

Farloft Flying Dragon

BlueKite was playing around and decided she wanted to go flying with me. 

So, she created this fun piece of artwork. 

Just print it, cut it out, and put it together per the illustrations below. 

How it flies depends on you. 

Farloft - Flying Dragon

There is a front and back to both pieces.

One sheet for three different head expressions
One sheet for the body

My legs are cut separated from the wings so they will fold down.

Four places to tape: #1 Tape - Bottom of head to belly

#2 Tape - Top of head to top of body (line it up with the outline)

Fold head down & body up: #3 Tape - Tip of folded nose and over back on legs

Press the wings down to give them a curve as if I were in flight

Give my tail a bit of a bend up, by running you fingers along the paper

I might need a little more weight on my neck depending on what paper you are using.

Theresa needed one neck piece when she flew me in 20# copy paper and
two neck weights when she used heavier cover stock

If so, just cut out another neck piece and attach to the neck on the belly-side.

Consider the way you 'hold' me and 'launch' me.

Nose up... Nose down... Straight...

- Happy Flying -

Fur and Frost - A Dragon Love Story

Inspired by my friend Zudic from Twitter

Appreciate a Dragon Day!

Today is Appreciate a Dragon Day and in celebration I am presenting to you the
FIRST EVER....

*sticks out chest with pride* 

DRAGON SELFIE!

Me with some of my delightful dragon friends. 

(and a lot of help from Kitsooki of Deviant Art)

For a dragon, nothing is really ever easy. We are big creatures. My arms are long, but not quite long enough, so Kitsooki got out her magic wand and her tablet of spells to create this work of art.

Happy Appreciate a Dragon Day!

(Have you hugged a dragon today?)

The First Sketch - Kitsooki thought this was it - Ha! 

*grins toothily*

More of my friends show up - Kitsooki loses track of how many

Canvas has to be enlarged

*ruffles wings and wants to huggle everyone in pleasure*

Kitsooki starts the line art.

That handsome devil in the lower right is ME!

The finished project.

Kitsooki fell over and had to be revived with chocolate. 

Thankfully I always have a stash.

*pulls all other dragons into a huge wing huggle*

My Dragon Friends:

Back Row: Alvaranox, Takumori Softwing, Storm Gryphon, Ran'Chr, Kitsooki

Middle Row: Talon Vurixen, Dofain, Yogoloth, Robert, Zudic

Front Row: Blue Hasia, Arkon, Tersethra, and Me!

Thanks everyone!

I have decided to make this an annual event. 

A great way to celebrate APPRECIATE A DRAGON DAY!

My Reference Sheet

Last month when I tweeted, someone asked me how tall I was. *brow furrows in a frown* Well, I couldn't tell them. The last time I was measured it was by-hand and I was ten hands tall at the shoulder. I understand from my dear friend Theresa they no longer measure this way. *raises paw and inspects foot*

I also found out, when I said I didn't know, that the other dragons on Twitter had something called 'Reference Sheets.' They started sending me copies of their's. *shifts from paw to paw impatiently* They told how tall they were, what abilities they had, who their mate and children were. It was like reading a family history. It was amazing. *grins knowingly*

I asked Theresa to measure me. She took me out to the garden, grabbed her ladder and had at it. She enlisted BlueKite of Deviant Art to draw my page. I am so pleased to present it here. *puffs out chest with pride*

FanArt - Doing My Happy Dance!

Laura has finished the piece of James and me overlooking the kingdom. 

I am so impressed *ruffles wings in excitement* 

It is so detailed. 

Look close...that's it...zoom in...you can see Theresa's cottage in the meadow by the forest. 

It just doesn't get any better.

Dragon Memories, Dreams & Reflections

The Society of Enlightened Dragonologist

Theresa and Cheri M. have asked me to comment on their launch of the Society of Enlightened Dragonologists . I, being a dragon of considerable age, can tell you ‘It is about time!’

I look forward to my two friends (I hope I can count Cheri among my friends and not trespass on what Keensight sees as ‘his property.’ He appears to be a very territorial dragon) setting long held misconceptions to rights. Let me expound…

I do not, and never have, eaten a human. In my land the type that could possibly push me to such an extreme action are not to be consumed by any rational dragon. Personal hygiene is not of top priority for blustering dragon slayers. This is not to say that I have not roasted, stomped on, clawed, or bitten my share of humans during battle. War always brings casualties and Dragons are very difficult to kill. For humans sometimes you are the poker, but most times you are the one being poked.

I also would appreciate it being set to rights that I DO NOT eat domesticated animals, this includes your dog, cat, rabbits, chickens, sheep, goats, cow, donkey, and horses. I happen to like wild game, elk being my favorite. ::licks muzzle with long pink tongue at the mere thought of a hindquarter of elk:: They are large enough to make them worth the killing. 

I also happen to have a cat of my own, Flutterby , and I am acquainted with several horses which I am on first name basis, Theresa’s sometimes annoying steed, Knicker, and Sarah’s mare Tolly. Both worth the time to pass a few words with if encountered.

There was heavy discussion among the ladies on Twitter that I might take exception and eat their sheep. I assure you that the wool is very repulsive and tends to get stuck in your teeth. My word, they went on about it. They were making armor for the little beasties and having jousting contests to get them ready for defending themselves. My lovely Maltese temptress, took the photo below to prove that I do not eat sheep. Note, they are placidly grazing. (Thank you Sweetheart! ::throws wing kisses:: )

And yes, I know Keensight often threatens to eat Cheri’s goats, but he also threatens to eat her on occasion and she is still here. ::grins::

So I raise a wing and salute to the forming of the Society of Enlightened Dragonologist! My vast reservoir of knowledge is at your service, ladies. May you bring our clans, culture and history into the light of the 21^st century.
