Finished - Favourite Dish

Finally! It’s done! And I’m very happy how it turned out, although I’ve to admit that putting a lot of small things in a pic is a lot of fun but colouring and shading is a chore

About Nelvinorr (dude on the left) and Velto (dude on the right):

Nel

• he’s one of the oldest dragons in the Dragon Palace and the only Icedragon present in the region
• he has a very high affinity for magic (more so than most dragons even)
• he’s the only dragon able to transform into a nearly fully human form (without the ears and antlers)
• he’s also the only one capable to infuse jewellery with the necessary spells for other dragons to appear fully human, although it’s a very tedious process
• he’s not only a capable goldsmith but also able to forge powerful, magic-infused weapons, but he hates to do the later
• some of his old swords are sought after weapons among the human kingdoms despite not being aware that Nel made them
• he’s a very affectionate person but also easy to anger and tends to hold petty grudges
• he likes vanilla-creme and baked apples as well as other sweets
• in his dragon form he’s smaller than the other dragons and sports a thick fur as well as feathered wings and a set of deer-like antlers
• although he’s an icedragon he isn’t bothered by heat or cold just like all other dragons, still he doesn’t like to get wet in his dragon-form as his fur will soak up a lot of water and become so heavy he can’t fly

Velto

• he’s the first born son of Marwesovirr and Lascia
• he once tried to raise an army by summoning a ton of shades to conquer some of the human kingdoms but grew out of it due to an accident with one of the shades, which nearly cost him his life, as well as Nelvinorrs intervention
• he isn’t very keen on being reminded about the less than stellar ambitions of his youth
• the shade also partly fused with him around his arms, which is why he needs to bandage them with seals to keep the shade from possessing him fully
• this also made him an expert in the treatment of shade-related injuries
• although he’s the so-called Prince of Dragons (a title he doesn’t care about) he isn’t expected to do much, still he takes care of a few administrative things in the Palace and likes to interact with the servants (listening to their problems and grievances in order to help them)
• although he doesn’t show it much he cares very much of his remaining four sisters as many of his other siblings died due to being incredible reckless as all Dragonbloods tend to be in their youth (the first 500 years or so)
