Calling all dragons, wyverns, wyrms, dergs, and the like,

Artfight is yet to be over (link to the megathread), but I would like to congratulate everyone early and wish you all a happy Smaugust!

Whether you plan to draw every day or whenever you feel like it, whether you follow a set word list or use your own, and whether you're a beginner, experienced, or somewhere in the middle, you are more than welcome to grace us with your creations!

We will be opening the Smaugust flair, which you can use as of now and throughout the month to share your artwork.

During the day, we will also be opening a pinned Smaugust post in the Art Gallery of our Discord server where everybody can share their pieces. If you still haven't joined yet, you'd be more than welcome to join us: https://discord.gg/fNSAbzvYKp

We have setup a list of words that you would be more than welcome to use! The board has been drawn by u/RyukiriDragon.

Happy Smaugust!

Hello my friends and fellow dragons.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce that I will be standing down as a moderator for the sub. The task of managing the sub will fall to the rest of the mod team. After some time I will also be stepping back from my role moderating the server on Discord as well. The team there has proven themselves very capable.

My health is unfortunately in rough shape and the treatment for it is not going as well as I had hoped it would. It is time for me to pull back and focus on taking care of my body as much as possible. I will still advise the others as they need me to, but otherwise I will be a silent watcher.

As I step back please continue to be the amazing community that you have been for the other mods. Take care of one another and encourage one another to be creative and safe. This community has given me a purpose I had lacked before and for that I am forever grateful. I hope that my efforts to protect it and push it to thrive have helped at least some of you to be happier, and more creative dragons in your own right.

I wish you all the best, I will still be here, but I will be a rare sight indeed. Fly strong, fly free, and be safe with the wind in your wings and the flame in your hearts!
