Paintings and drawings featuring dragons of all sorts.

The Imaginary Network Expanded (INE) is a network of art sharing subreddits ranging from broad in subject to very specific. It is the goal of the INE to share, inspire, discuss and appreciate static image paintings, drawings, and digital art while maintaining artist credit and source links.


Rules (See All):

1) Submit credited, sourced paintings and drawings.

a. Follow title format: Art Title by Artist Name. Add no other info, except if to tag as OC.

b. Comment with an artist published website link. We want to drive some traffic to the creators!

c. Traditional paintings and drawings only. No videos, screenshots, photography, audio, multi-panel comics, content generated or AI-assisted submissions.

d. Posting your own work? See our best practices for submitting OC.

e. Requests, meta, and discussion should be posted to /r/ImaginaryNetwork.

2) Make quality submissions.

a. Do not repost something that was posted to this subreddit less than three months ago, or is currently in the top 100 posts of all time. Use the search function before you post.

b. No collections, galleries or other multi-image submissions. Instead, submit your favorite image and link the rest in the comments.

c. Don't look spammy. Do not post to the same subreddit more than twice a day. No more than one crosspost per day.

d. Low resolution images may be removed. Images that contain too much background, text, or advertisement may be removed. Images must be submitted in the correct orientation. Submissions should not be more than 25% text. Text should not be necessary to understand the context of an image.

e. The scope of this sub is based on "what you see in the picture." The subject needs to be identifiable by the art alone, without descriptive title or any knowledge of lore.

f. Content should first glorify the subreddit subject matter. Hypersexualized characters should not be a main focal point. NSFW submissions should be limited to approx 1 in 10 per user.

g. Images of or titles mentioning merchandise are not allowed. No submission links to storefronts. Instead, link that info in the comments section.

3) This sub focuses on art appreciation.

a. All comments must be phrased respectfully. No name calling.

b. No dirty birdies or body-shaming. Low effort negativity may be removed.

    [dragons] Sketches for a Dragon Race

    Below is the information about this breed.

    Espécie: vermafogo Species: fireworm

    Origem/Origins:

    Entre os vermafogos só pode haver um único alfa ao redor do mundo. Este alfa é sempre um macho, cujo corpo se transforma e se torna fêmea por um curto período de tempo. Ela então bota os ovos e grava um nome em cada um deles. Ela faz isso através dos gênes, e por isso cada dragão sabe o seu nome assim que nasce. Estes dragões betas são inteligentes, mas não falam, exceto na língua deles. Já o alfa pode aprender novas línguas em pouco tempo, e sua voz soa como a voz de uma serpente que sopra o ar pela boca. O fato do alfa saber os nomes dos dragões betas ajuda a mante-los sob as suas ordens, reinando todos os dragões. Quando um alfa morre e surge outro em seu lugar, este novo alfa não sabe o nome de todos os dragões, e por isso precisa botar os seus próprios ovos para que venha a reinar sobre novos dragões. Eles são chamados de "vermafogo" porque nascem somente em meio a lava. Na verdade, usam a lava do vulcão para construírem seus corpos, e por isso sempre nascem muito maiores do que os seus ovos. Eles são resistentes ao fogo, são robustos e muito fortes. Mas o mais interessante sobre eles é que na verdade não possuem asas. Eles possuem longos braços sem membranas. As membranas que você está vendo no dragão são feitas do seu próprio sangue, pois eles são capazes de controla-lo. Então o que verá são membranas vermelhas, feitas do seu sangue. É possível que o mesmo dragão assuma diferentes designs de membranas pelo corpo, e isso os torna criaturas que gostam do visual que assumem.

    Among the worms there can only be a single alpha around the world. This alpha is always a male, whose body transforms and becomes female for a short period of time. She then lays the eggs and engraves a name on each of them. It does this through the genesis, and so each dragon knows its name as soon as it is born. These beta dragons are intelligent, but they don't speak except in their language. The alpha, on the other hand, can learn new languages in a short time, and his voice sounds like the voice of a snake blowing air through its mouth. The fact that the alpha knows the names of the beta dragons helps to keep them under his orders, reigning over all dragons. When an alpha dies and another one takes his place, this new alpha doesn't know the names of all the dragons, so he needs to lay his own eggs in order to reign over new dragons. They are called "fireworm" because they are born only in the middle of lava. In fact, they use the lava from the volcano to build their bodies, and so they always hatch much larger than their eggs. They are fire-resistant, robust and very strong. But the most interesting thing about them is that they don't actually have wings. They have long arms without membranes. The membranes you are seeing on the dragon are made of their own blood, as they are able to control it. So what you're going to see are red membranes, made of your blood. It is possible for the same dragon to take on different membrane designs across its body, and this makes them creatures that like the look they take.
