'k, I know I have a lot of other stuff on my plate, but I've been trying to get my files organized, and I stumbled across what may be my first attempt at computer-drawn dragons. (Eventually these evolved into the species shown in my avatar, but it took a good... three years?
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
They are *not* shaded, but the lines are connected! (I learned to use the curve tool late, but mastered it quickly.) And they have purty eyes, yiss...
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in acquiring one or two before I throw the pics out? They are about as intelligent as Austarians, maybe a bit more so, and come in six colors/ranks...
Reds are the smallest (the size of a large pony) and most agile. They are fiercer and rather less intelligent than their larger brethren, and in the wild tend to stick together in hunting packs.
Blues (usually sky blue) are a bit larger than reds, and nearly opposite in behavior. While still very social creatures, they are gentle and shy away from battle. They are the most easily tamed, and popular as mounts.
Orange dragons are about the same size as blues, perhaps a bit larger. They are a bit more aggressive, though by no means matching the reds for ferocity, and are incredibly loyal if well-treated. They are not quite so common as mounts, perhaps because of the extra effort required in training.
Greens are quick--in both wingspeed and temper. A green dragon frets and pines if not properly cared for, but this color's speed makes it much desired. Beyond the obvious military uses of extremely fast couriers, in peacetime greens will often be raced against each other for sport.
Blacks are a bit like very much larger reds. They are much more intelligent, however, and thus very difficult to handle. Very few choose to ride blacks, and those who do are usually knights with the resources and skill to be able to invest in training from the egg. A wild-caught black is impossible to control, and sooner or later will turn killer and escape.
Whites are extremely large and strong, and fairly intelligent. However, they lack the correct temperament to be of use as fighters, and so are used as transport, for cargo or passengers. To be a white dragon's handler is considered a great privilige, as it requires skill and a high level of natural empathy.

If anyone wants one, there'll be two stages, egg and adult. I need a page (blank with a 'dragon coming soon' note is fine in this case) before I give you an egg, and the egg must be up before the adult stage will be given.
Eggs are the same color as the dragons inside.
