Focus and discipline used to be my strong suits. Yeah... both of those have been lacking lately.
Which is a bit odd. I'm eating better, I'm sleeping better. I'm actually exercising. But generally I do find I've just got less to give than I used to. *looks at upcoming birthday* Ah. Right!
![Creature Concept: Northern Dragon
A white dragon sits up on a snowy tundra plain. Black rocks litter the ground, and grey clouds cover the skies, which are grey with blizzard clouds. Beneath the dragon's front claw is a human skull.
The dragon has folded pterodactyl-like wings with hairy claws for fingers. Its back legs are also fluffy, and look much like the talons of a snowy owl. 3 horns grow from the dragon's head; 2 short ones from the back, and 1 longer, forked one from the center. The tail ends in a triangular barb made from the same material as the horns, and sensory bristles stick out from the length of the tail like whiskers. Similar whiskers, only shorter, are found on the cheeks and the tips of the ears.

![Creature Concept: Aspidus (cyber cobra)
Digital artwork of a mechanical cobra monster. Its fanged mouth is open, and a flame shoots from it. Its eyes likewise streak flames, and two large tubes on its bottom jaw shoot out jets of smoke behind its head.
Its hood, made of reflective metal plates, is open wide to reveal a pair of laser weapons with circles of blue lightning energy spinning around them. The edges of the hood are lined with spiky, rib-like bone structures on hinges.
The metal body is coiled over itself on a rough black floor, and the tip of its tail is made up of large exposed vertebrae held together with sets of cables that run through holes drilled into the bones. Held high above the ground at the end of this chain of bones is an electrified string of metal balls. Bolts of blue lightning similar to those in the hood weapons jump from one ball to another.
The sky behind the cobra is black and filled with stars.

![Creature Concept: Baldhart the Black Flame (fire dragon)
Digital artwork of a black dragon with a dull red head, neck, and chest, facing left. It stands on a bluish mirror-like surface that is lit up with streaks of blue light.
Its wings are a purplish tag color, and huge compared with the rest of its body. Its tail is also elongate, and is patterned with rows of spiky barbs that can also be found on its neck.
3 pairs of horns grow from its head, two on the top, and one that curves around like a tusk on the back of its jaw. A short beard of black fur grows from the bottom of its head, longest under the tip of the chin.

![Illustration: Rain Dragon
Digital artwork of an Asian dragon's head and curved neck on a black background. Its red fish scales are shiny and slightly iridescent, and its belly is smooth and tan in color, devoid of scales. It appears shiny and wet, as does the similarly colored skin on its face.
A pair of tall deer antlers grow from its head, and its eyes are a striking deep blue. Multiple sets of black whiskers extend from the tip of its snout, the longest of which curls backwards and around the creature's neck. The low-hanging areas of these whiskers repel the tongues of flame on the dragon's shoulders around them in a circular shape.

![Illustration: Sunrise Dragon (fantasy illustration)
Digital artwork of a dragon's neck and head. Its scales are primarily colored a light sky blue, and its spikes and horns are gold. Many of its scales also have bright magenta regions. Its eyes are a shiny black.
Its long neck its twisted in a snake-like position, with its head facing left. Its teeth are visible on the outside of its lips, much like crocodile teeth, and its snout is tipped in a bone-like beak structure. Two of its top teeth are especially long and tusk-like, curving outwards from either side of the head. The dragon has 3 pairs of horns, the longest and thickest of which is the highest pair on the back of the head. A thick but short spike, similar in appearance to the horns, is located on the side of the head, near the back of the jaw.
3 rows of spines extend down the creature's neck, and each spine is gold in color, with a magenta base. The center row of spines is significantly taller than the others, and each spine of this row is lobed in the center. Each lobe is patterned with white and purple spots.
The dragon's environment is a cloud scene at sunrise. It consists of pastel pinks and pale purples. Some sky blue is also visible at the top of the illustration, and in the rightmost top corner the sky fades to navy blue. In front of the dragon, some pink clouds form a circular shape that frames the creature's face.
