%r%tThe overall shade of her hide should give ample clues to all as to the nature of this dragonet: a satin-like sheen of green so dark as to appear almost black in low light. Deeply set eyes are placed slightly forward in a predator's gaze, their surrounding hide cast in black that tints gradually up into dark green upon broad forehead. Her long brow and nose are convexly curved, and a tapering muzzle's teeth within gleam larger than normal, while longer headknobs also curve outward, back towards her succinct neck. The 'ridges that spring forth from her back and neck are wickedly sickle-like, appearing as if they might impale or cut the unwary, mimicing inky-black talons that seem to glitter with a faint smattering of stardust near their bases. Long and corded legs effortlessly support her slightly narrow chest and long loin, while angular haunches hint at ample power within. Upon her long and agile tail, black and purer evergreen hues inscribe seemingly random lines and shadowy patterns that make no sense whatsoever, until one steps farther away. It is only then that colors and markings unite into an image that offers the semblance of articulated, exaggerated joints at every vertebrae.%r%tThe wings of this dragonling, while finely balanced between breadth's stamina and length's maneuverability, are as potentially 'disturbing' as the rest of her wicked, well-graven form. Often found mantling open over her prey, deceptively diaphanous pinions are traced with the intimations of occasional 'webworks' of black that arch and stretch - interlinked, supportive - over a predominant background of oily green and smudged, sludgy purple. Around the center of each sail, hints of sluggish pools of patinaed gold and tarnished copper swirl randomly within the predominant green, appearing to shift when her wings are in motion.
OPPRESSIVE VESSEL EGG:
Greys and blacks' uneasy shadows insinuate themselves upon this egg like so many unsettling realities into a sleeper's subconscious. Those claustrophobic spaces grow increasingly confined from base to tip, channeled along maze-like corridors before meeting beads of seeming-moisture that appear to ooze from above... and drip. At first there might seem no escape from the nightmarish hues, but broken into one asymmetrical side is a lighter blotch of stuttering sodium yellow. Relief. Safety. At last. Except for how its surrounding jagged edges glint, when light hits the shell's curve just right, as might gaping metal teeth that promise a monstrous death.
Inspiration: Based off of the innards of the commercial towing ship 'Nostromo' from the 'Alien' movie. The winding, claustrophobic, metallic confines of much of the vessel set the perfect stage for the hidden terror of the xenomorph to evolve.
