I finished the front body view for my new OC Radogien and while I continue drawing a back view and some facial expressions for his character sheet you can read some details about his creation progress in this Kings Journal.
Here we go and thank you for your interest.

The origin
For several month I keep collecting ideas for my original characters and
how they deal and interact with each other. I created Wolftian and Jean and their home the "Naschkatze".
Long ago that place was a castle and the king possessed great magical skills he was taught by a dragon.
Dragons can grow much older than other species and after the king passed away his teacher left the castle in grief until magic will awaken within the empty castle walls anew.

Why I chose a dragon
In an early concept the "Naschkatze" was haunted by an extinct magical species with wings, but I disliked this idea and I wanted something that would connect the past with the present without being scary or seen as a Poltergeist.
So I wondered which non science-fiction being could live long enough to have seen the past and the present: A dragon!
But how does a dragon survive without causing (public) attention?!
Answer: He can transform into a human and live rather unremarkable among humans.
To be honest I am not the first one who had that idea and that brings us directly to...

Radogiens name
One source for transforming dragons can be found in "The Witcher" universe. The stories about Geralt of Rivia and the games are created in Poland. I consider myself a fan and to reflect some of my respect for the detailed universe I wanted to make sure to find an eastern european name for one of my OCs.
Here comes the explanation:
Rado = Slavic = happy
Ogien = Polish = fire
Pharos (Faros) = Greek = lighthouse


"Happy fire lighthouse" Radogien Pharos.
Pharos is also used as a name for the ancient lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the ancient Seven World Wonders.
A dragon is big and a lighthouse is big, too. So it makes sense for me.
Greece is home of many myths and legends, that´ s why I chose the language to look for a name.

Radogiens look
Radogien has small horns and big ears. His wings are based on arms and hands and "thumbs" can be seen. His body is covered with scales except for his genitals, nipples and a small part between his butt cheeks.
His sensitive spots. ;)
He has wrinkles around his eyes, because he is old.
His body is very beefy with big muscles, but his waist is rather small.
His nipples, belly button and humanoid genitals are a result of the transformation skill and although he is a dragon he has also mammal features.

What colour are his scales?
Well, I want keep some details a secret until I am done with the whole character sheet.

I hope you enjoyed this Journal and I hope you like dragons. ^^
Thank you for reading.

You know, I can't help but find myself absolutely smitten with each OC you manage to come up with, and big ol' Rad here is by no means any different. I particularly like the attention you gave to his wings, both the muscle bulk of the 'arms' as well as the inclusion of the vestigial thumbs. They're details that I've not really seen in a lot of draconic characters, and to your credit they genuinely look like those limbs are a part of and belong on Radogien. Also, you're absolutely killing me with the musculature here... That chest, those arms... I swear, he could end me with a bear hug and I'd die happy. What's more, the fact that you made this guy a dragon has really got me thinking... what sort of breath weapon does Rad (hope you don't mind the shorthand name) here have, if any? Fire breath, where he softly blows alight candles that rest on another man's frame, wax dripping onto their skin? Lightning, as he sends your body hairs on end and you muscles twitch, mimicking e-stim play? Or Ice breath, when gentle exhales duplicate the same sensation as ice cubes gliding down the contours of a person's body? Well... judging based on Radogien's name alone, I highly suspect one above the other two. :P

Aww thank you so much! X3 I watched many different dragons on furaffinity and I checked pictures of real bats to learn about wings anatomy. I also knew right from the beginning that Radogien would have huge muscles, especially his chest and arms. I think that he is a skilled climber and sometimes combines the strength of his arms with the claws at his wings to find a safe spot on most surfaces. Regarding his name your guess about the breath weapon is absolutely right. Rad´ (kinda cool nickname^^) uses fire breath to attack, but he can also dose fire to lit up a single candle instead of burning the whole pace. So his fire breath depends on the situation: He can use it for battle or daily life stuff or a (literally) hot kiss.

2022-02-01 06:41:50 He looks amazing! I love the design you created for him, is really detailed and well done. I was expecting to see a Dragon OC when on your journal about "Naschkatze" there where some dragon scratchs there, and looking back on there there also a fireplace ruin, so this fits even more with him name. Also, really great name concept, it's always fun when a character name have a lot of meanings that fits together like that! =D Another thing I enjoy is the change to human form power, that is really cool! <3 Really looking foward to see more of Radogien and how he use his powers~

Thanks a lot! :))) I think it would be nice for Radogien to live among humans without causing big attention, that´ s why I chose the transformation ability. Another reason are the humanoid features of his body, those would be hard to explain if he was a true "reptile". Reptiles do not have nipples. xD I also have a nice idea for him for his next image. ^^
