dragonriders of pern – Tumblr backup

Recently I’ve been re-listening to the Dragonriders of Pern series, and this one scene with Ruth and Jaxom struck me as a really neat shot.

How many series would make it so you could ride dragons in space after all?

Not a regular question but tell me about your oldest OC in the tags 🙂

Quick watercolor sketch in my trusty moleskine. Still not over my current Pern phase. This time it’s Mnementh.

A golden dragonet, or fire lizard queen, from Anne McCaffrey’s Pern books.

I LOVED the Dragonriders of Pern books growing up. Hopefully one day we get a big budget film adaptation of this remarkable story.

My OC’s – blue rider M’ran and Odanith and green rider P’ret and Gelath

People seemed to like this nugget, so I decided to sketch him up nice ‘n proper! This fellow here has diprosopus, born with two separate, but yet conjoined faces.

The way I think of this guy, he would probably have one single name, think of itself as one singular body, but calls itself ‘we’, rather than ‘I’. A brain that would be one single organ, but caught between the split – much like the head(s). So two frontal cortexes, I guess? I should really look further into this.

He’s probably not a happy fellow. Probably not a very good thing to be bonded to either.
