/scaly/ - Scaly General #242
Post lewd reptiles and discuss scaly stuff, male or female is fine. Dragons, wyverns, reptile folk, snakes, and sharks on top of other scaly things are welcome. Ferals, anthros, and human/scaly are allowed, but please, no monstergirls. As some may take a few creative liberties on their creations, do inquire if there's a particular edge case you're unsure about.
Please take care to avoid reposting images from the past few threads, try to keep things fresh and post other content.

Topic of the thread: What kind of sandwiches would scalies eat? Do you think they would put in different ingredients?
I want to be a Tama!
Post dinos.
>>9637719
>>9637648
Anna ate a dragon sandwich, and it was made with Miles and Maverick.
Depends what kind of scaly. Generally they'd probably eat meat on their sandwich. Though I suppose if they were amphibians they might eat insects.
>>9637766

>TFW no raptor GF.
>Anna will never perform kinky sex acts on you under the guise of scientific research.
>>9638171
>Sebastian will never perform kinky sex on you under the guise of a police interrogation
>>9638198
>Maverick will never hate fuck you for stealing his girlfriend.
>>9638200
Well, yes, but a surprising number of reptiles are omnivores or herbivores.
>>9638279
But getting hatefucked by Maverick was part of my plan.
>>9638279
>Remy will never hold hands with you in public.
>>9638306
How could you even bear to do something so lewd in public?
>>9638435
Yeah that guy's a freak.
I only masturbate to normal fetishes, like vore.
>>9638435
You don't know Remy very well.
>>9638306
But if you do that, he'll die of embarrassment!
>>9637925
what game?
>>9637648
I feel like dragons probably wouldnt eat sandwhiches at all.
Most reptiles are very bad at digesting grains, so bread probably isn't enjoyable to begin with. Basically ALL reptiles are some degree of lactose intolerant, so no cheese.
>>9638505
Obviously the only solution is a bun made out of ground beef, and bacon instead of cheese.
I actually want that now, it sounds pretty good.
>>9638458
Are you saying I'm embarrassing?
So, I'm finally going to cave and get AWSW when I get home. Any tips? Also who is your waifu/husbando?
>>9638746
Wait until tomorrow if you want to get it on sale.
>>9638746
Leave this place immediately and don't come back until you get every character's good ending.
After getting an ending, watch the credits until the end, it will then tell you what ending you got and that ending will register for future playthroughs.
Also, Remy is bestest dragon, but I'd probably also do Maverick, the old grumpy bastard.
>>9638847
Oh yeah that's right, summer sale, thanks m80

Hey, mister kid-friends-with-dragon Anon!
Didn't get to reply until now due to busy day, but that was a real cozy little read!
How does one go around making a female anthro look femenine without relying on slapping a pair of tits on it or somewhat obscure sexual dimorphism present amongst IRL reptiles?
Anyone have any snek porn?
>>9639349
Hips.
>>9639349
Eye shape/head shape being daintier, hip/waist/shoulder ratio
>>9639349
These:
>>9639445
>>9639450
and pronounced eyelashes, general avoidance of sharp angles and straight lines. Generally less visible abdominal, gluteal and thigh musculature (this is a visual association thing due to sexually dimorphic average fat deposition in humans). Also slimmer jawlines and proportionally somewhat smaller nose and snout.
(All these are of course broad characteristics vastly prone to change when drawing fictional exotic species, but overall they give a neat feel for it.)
>>9639525
Didn't know they added murlocs to Injustice.
Does /scaly/ have any book suggestions?
>>9639636
>pronounced eyelashes
pls no
>>9639778
>>9639750
If you like kobolds, I would recommend the 'Ren of Atikala' series.
>>9639826
>Why not?
Eh, it's just something I'm really not a fan of. Not really sure how to explain it well. Just one of those female identifiers that I just can't stand.
>>9639778
It's one of the oldest tricks in the book.
Even androgynous (or even male) variants of certain exotic species get weirdly attractive all of a sudden if you add lush eyelashes (or "eyelashes") or eyeshadow/"eyeshadow".
However, aside from the now pretty old cultural reasons for this, my theory is that the accentuation of the eye's shape (through either pronounced lashes, mascara or eyeshadow) makes its feminine shape all the more prominent, and thus makes the general impression more prominent. Just a thought though
>>9639936
Well put. It's the oldest trick other than adding tits on the poor thing.
>>9639936
I think I might not like it because I'm gay.
>>9640002
Hmm. Well, to be fair I swing all over the place myself, and I've met some cute boys who do eyeliner and mascara -really- well. (..but they were all effeminate girlyboys. Heh.)

Hello /scaly/, I love you
First exam done, I just bought a bottle of supercheap soda, and are now wrapped up in my comforter while it's stormy and raining outside.
Super comfy
>>9639750
I'm halfway through the first book in the Age of Fire series. It's about the PoV of a young dragon in a generic fantasy world. Some fairly mature themes mixed with lighthearted adventure. I'd recommend it, so far.
>>9639349
You give them all the Pretty Princess Points they need
>t. /r9k/
>>9639750
I remember reading this series of books quite along time ago and liking them. I've lost them since then though so haven't had an opportunity to see if they still hold up any, but I do remember above all else there being a lot of suffering involved, especially given the theme of the entire series being the ending of an age and dragons basically going extinct.
>>9639750
the Pit Dragon trilogy is a good read imo.
Dragons with muscles!
>more Slack Wyrm
>>9641657
Slackwyrm just jumped the shark by inserting real life politics into a completely separate fantasy world

I mean, the Slack guy isn't American.
For non-Americans this whole Trump shit is usually funny as hell.
>>9641936

I'm just sick of seeing Trump in everything now.
>>9641936
he has access to the biggest nuclear arsenal on the planet, and his only value as a person is to be a funny meme man.
Hillary might be a cringe queen but at least she has something that resembles brain cells.
>>9642027

Besides, if he nukes everyone this turns Fallout and we get deathclaws.

>>9647816
By conjuring up that whole sorry excuse for a explanation you still just gave him attention for his "shitposts" pretty much making what you said useless.

In terms of tensile- and shear strength and weight, the best comparison would be hard plastics, I think. Lightweight, slightly flexible, organic (for feasibility if one needs more of that), and very tough.

I wonder how that ultra quality ice cream tastes like. I've had homemade ice cream before, eaten the day after the cows had been milked. The farmer's wife didn't care to skim it either so it was really fatty and rich. Also she used real vanilla beans and fresh strawberries. It was really, really good. ..but I can't say it blew my pants off.
I mean, ice cream is so cold anyway that a lot of the subtler aromatic differences are lost on us.
>>9653865
Oh I think maybe I can do better than feeling, just give me a few days
>>9654099
That's just botanon, pay no mind.
>>9654213
>ice cream is so cold anyway that a lot of the subtler aromatic differences are lost on us
Really? I suppose smell is a big factor to taste and most ice cream doesn't really have a smell either.
>>9654443
Actually, no.
>>9654443
Well.. whether it's smell or taste, every sensory receptor in our body works more poorly when cooled down. It's why warm food tastes more strongly than cold food (and not only because it gives off more aromatic gases, although this is a huge part too).
What's your absolute favourite flavour of ice cream, /scaly/?
I tasted cheese, beef, noodle, curry and octopus-flavoured ice cream in Tokyo. Everything except the octopus one was better than you'd expect. My all-time favourite is salty liquorice/ammonium chloride flavoured. It's god damn delicious.
>>9654418
>>9654482
>salty liquorice/ammonium chloride flavoured
Pictures like this. I don't know whether I like them or feel unnerved by them.
>>9654533
I know, right? Sounds crazy. Here in Scandinavia (particularly Finland and Norway), it's really prevalent, though. If you ever get the chance to taste pure ammonium chloride powder, you might see the appeal; it's this intense salty and astringent kind of flavour and feeling. Really addictive and tasty.
It basically tastes like something immensely salty, but without hurting your mouth.
I hope you get to taste it sometime. To be fair though, people either love it or hate it (and most people seem to hate it).
There are milder and sweeter liquorice-flavoured ice creams too, though, which are nice as well.
>>9645863
This. Less than 10% of American voted for Trump, he didn't get elected because of some mass populist uprising, he won because no one gives a flying fried shit who's president anymore. Honestly that's nuch, much worse in my opinion.

Well, the first thing you need to know, is that you're awesome for trying and practicing.
It's hard as hell to practice when one feels that everything comes out weird..
What I did in the beginning, was just use the eraser bit by bit, until I got something I was (somewhat) happy with. ..and even if I didn't--that is, I grew tired or something--I'd gotten lots of practice.
Anyway, sorry, that's probably not that helpful.
I'm not entirely sure what you're wondering, but keep in mind: the circles are just super rough guides to where something is, and roughly how big it is. Let the circles guide---not define---the silhouette and lines of the actual tissue.
In theropods, the shoulders/sternum complex is always much smaller than the hips/pelvis. (One circle smaller than the other.)
Furthermore, finish the entire "skeleton" first (only lines and those circles), before you start attempting to add the actual body lines. (As a handy rule, the body-lines should never touch the "skeleton"-lines.)
If you're drawing anthro raptors (but I have a suspicion you aren't, heh), then I'd go with basically practicing drawing a human (using the same guidelines), and embellishing it with exotic features as you go.
>>9657688
>>9657818
Do you happen to also know a good way to connect a tail to the pelvis region?
>>9658006
You know, that's actually something I've been wondering a bit myself.. It's not something you can easily formalize or simplify, I think..
First off, it varies with the kind of scaly, but lets go with a classical feral raptor (or feral dragon) first: Gross-anatomically, it's just a matter of following the spine dorsally, and a smooth graceful line continuing from the belly ventrally. The problem is where the lateral sides of the tail meet the "body"/gluteal musculature.. Some artists like to draw megabutts on their scalies (in these cases the lateral sides of the tailbase are kind of "cheated" over/past the buttocks). ..others like a more natural design, in which the tail---by merit of being a thicc and sturdy, lovely lizardtail---is almost continuous with the buttocks. (Commonly known as a "tailbutt".)
Sorry I can't be of more help! This is kinda subtle stuff, I think.. Try it out a little if you feel like it.
Do you want me to draw some examples?
Don't be demoralized if you just can't seem to get it right. Eventually, you'll happen across something that looks good/decent, and something will "click" in your mind about how the curves should flow, and how it's all oriented in 3D.
(I know the first time I attempted to draw butts or boobs, things turned out reeeally crappy..)
>>9658497
>Do you want me to draw some examples?
Yes please, anon!
>>9658497
I'd love it if we could get some good ref pics for that, since I've also been wondering about the exact same thing.
Can scalies with genital slits have camel toes? Are the slits front facing like a penis, or lower in-between the thighs like a vagina?
>>9658497
How does one go about drawing tongues for something like a raptor?
>>9648755
That's a shark
>>9659218
Just draw it over and over until it looks good, man. The answer to the question of how to draw anything is always trial and error. Practice. Draw every day at least once.
>>9658563
>>9658565
crap, I'm not really experienced with this stuff, but maybe this will clear some points up, at least
>>9658729
Assuming they could have vertically oriented genital slits, I suppose there's no reason they can't have arbitrarily huge swollen vulvas either?
When it comes to placement, I find most artists place it too far to the front, but you never really know with fictional creatures.
I'd draw this too, but jesus I have next to zero experience with drawing genitals.. (The only vagina I've drawn is that of a Deerling laying a huge poke-egg. Seriously, fuck some of those drawthread requests.. ..and fuck me for feeling obligated to fulfilling them.)
>>9659218
Well I'm crazy for giraffe-style tongues (on any scaly!), so I can't say I'm familiar with actual theropod tongue anatomy, sorry.
I'd go for slender and sinuous, though. As the other anon said, experiment with fluid graceful lines and before you know it, you'll have a tongue outline that you like and can continue upon.
>>9657321
A bit off topic, but are there any other beast races for skyrim, such as griffins or horses?
Or at least some dragon wings mod for the argonians?
>>9659946
I always wonder what would make the most sense on a lizardman type creature. Most furry artist just sexualize and add a very humanlike ass, but I'm thinking more from an evolutionary standpoint and what would make sense anatomically.
>>9660123
Oof, yeah me too. Maybe we're overthinking things, man..
..although to be fair, I actually find it more alluring with those more feral tailbutts. To me they just look graceful (as opposed to something blatantly sexualized)
>>9659965
Oh boy, oh boy I would seriously go crazy for a mod with griffons. I absolutely love those things
>>9658729
>Can scalies with genital slits have camel toes?
If my image searching of irl ones prove it, yeah, they can stick out like a camel toe.
>Are the slits front facing like a penis, or lower in-between the thighs like a vagina?
Lower in between.

>ywn be cucked by Venti and hold her claw as she gets rammed by a big monster as she assure you she still loves you even if you can't sexually satisfy her
>>9660181
Personally, I want to figure this out for world building/character creation purposes.
Something like a scale showing various amounts of more tail/ass from one extreme to the other would be amazing.
>>9657321
There's Lizards of Skyrim, if that's the sort of thing you want.
>>9660198
(Come to think of it, I actually drew the vagina and anus here before covering it up. That makes two times. Genitals are tough)
>>9660271
World building purposes? Sounds cool.
>drawings showing serial increase of tail/ass
Damn, I'm bad at those gradual transition things.. I have to head off to bed, though. Maybe tomorrow?
>>9660181
>I actually find it more alluring with those tailbutts
unf, fucking same
>>9660501
Thinking about it more, it's not even just about the tail/ass, but I guess the entire lower half. Hips obviously play into legs and stance and digiti vs. plantigrade (which I really dislike on anthro type creatures, especially scaly stuff).
Skyrim is imo an example where they did everything wrong with Argonians in that way. They stand up completely straight, have plantigrade feet (and their females even have boobs) - their bodies are much too human like for my taste.
(Rewrote this since it was messy)
>>9661070
You're absolutely right.
A lot depends on stance, too:
On humanoid scalies, the tail can either turn sharply outwards at the lower back, or it can follow the legs downwards more (still turning outwards, only less so).
The larger and heavier a tail is, the more it has to follow the spinal column (since it would require larger vertebrae to support, and hence wouldn't hold up well with a sharp angle at the tailbase).
Furthermore, whether the tail curves out from the body or follows more parallel with the legs, both will necessitate some degree of a more forward-leaning or bent posture, depending on tail thickness/weight.
..And christ.. how could one not like that: lizardpeople with a racially innate constant lordosis.. u-unf
I agree when it comes to Skyrim. ..but I can sorta see why they didn't dare to make them more monstrous too.
>>9661248
IIRC it was mostly to not have to model armor sets for different body types.
In morrowind, beast races had digigrade legs and the result was they couldn't wear boots or full helmets.
>>9661317
Oh snap, that makes a lot more sense, yeah
246 posts and only 96 pics?
Less talking, more porn!
>>9661487
I wish I had a dragon wife to have an egg with.
I am not finished with this Raptor yet, but I feel as though there are issues with the left leg though
>>9661371
oh shieet, you're right
>>9661534
Look at you go! Damn.. you know all those lines, making it look messy and unprofessional? ...making it look like you're indecisive?
That's pure, condensed PRACTICE, anon. Beautiful.
Sketching messily and tentatively like that is the best training you can get right now, and I can see you're improving.
You got your hindlegs down reeeally well, man. Don't worry about the left leg at all.
Remember to keep the tail somewhat flush with the spinal line (sharp angles are a no-no with the spinal line. ...even with a sexy lordosis like that).
Also, with raptors, upper thorax/shoulders are slimmer than hips.
Next time you sketch a raptor, attempt the head after erasing the guide almost completely. It'll be tough, but it will force your brain into choosing a form, and rotating that form in three dimensions.
(Besides, you never really want to actually end up with the actual lines following your guide-shape-lines.)
Also, I think you can do the body well even without all those small guiding-circles along the spine.
>>9657321
>That picture was traced all along.
>And this is when I really wished you could see the changes to equipment,
because a female dragon with Bunny Ears would have been so cute.
Reading a Gamefaqs guide for a game I am playing and thought this line was adorable. The dragon character is a qt too.
>>9663441
Which game though?
>>9663997
Dragon Quest V
I'm mad though because I'm still in part 2, and that character is at the tail end of part 4, reeeee
>>9660596
>cropped out stupid human
Good taste
If you had a feral dragon as a pet and you had sex with him/he,r would you let them fuck other dragons?
What if you had two and they already fucked, and then you started having sex with them? Would it be cheating?
>>9664888
as long as It's a three-way it isn't cheating.
also nice trips.
>>9661815
263/108 isn't quite as bad, but still... Let's aim for 175 pics next thread!
>>9664888
I'd be fine with them fucking other dragons as long as they know who master is (and as long as they only let master fertilize their eggs).
>>9664888
It's not cheating because it's not a relationship if they're a "pet"
>>9651253
I have a couple.
>>9666721
>>9661815
I think this turned out better than I expected.
>>9666798
This is an interesting exemplary pic considering the brief thoughts earlier on stance/posture in reptillian humanoids. It would be rad if argonians looked like this (and had their own kinds of armor and everything). ..though I'm always kind of partial towards slightly more "monstrous" non-human rpg races.
>>9666878
Dude, comparing this to your first attempts I'd say you're coming along very nicely. Good job! It probably took a lot of effort to make that sketch.
(Keep in mind the points I mentioned in my post when next you draw. Especially the one about the head; at this point, I feel you could start attempting various raptor heads without a guide. Also, that line along the back kind of gives him a banana look. I don't think you need it.)

For a reptilian race with a partial aquatic focus, that kind of defeats the purpose.
>>9667879
Focus-schmocus. ..you're making sense, though. Forgot about that whole water thing.
I just want my sufficiently exotic dragon-men hunks, damnit
>>9654418
I Believe!
>>9669626
>>9667842
Honestly, one of my biggest triggers is restraints and clothing/situations that dont make any sense.
Like in >>9666721, the way the locks hold the restraints in place mean they could be lifted up a few centimeters at least, allowing anyone who wiggles enough to get free.
Even in your pic, the way the raptor is dangling those panties from its tail implies that they were taken off but I see zero feasible ways for that to be the case, so in my eyes they're just hanging there for some other reason.
>>9654588
Uh, it was more like 25%.
>>9669626
I don't even know what this is. It's like a super long snout. ..with horns at its nostrils.
Or is this a creature without a discernible neck and eyes?
>>9670368
No eyes.
>>9670151
Hmm, yeah, it's something of a pet peeve of mine too. The moment an artist tries to do something in a detailed fashion (as opposed to something that's obviously sketchy(literally)) I get all criticizing and picky.
..Dangling raptor-panties. Didn't even notice those, to be honest..
An irrelevant negative thing about scalies for me; their smooth skin/scales doesn't hold personal/intimate/lewd scents the way fur does.

You are the best, anon!
What are you eating for dinner, /scaly/?
Fried salmon (exotically spiced to hell and beyond) with veggies and rice here. (I even poured some of the heavily spiced olive oil over the rice afterwards, decadent slut as I am.)
>>9671807
Hehe np. It's nice to see you keeping at it
>>9672196
Might make Corbonara.
Can't decide if I want to enjoy it with some beer, or go to the gym and work on assignments not hungover tomorrow
>>9672196
It's like 10am
no dinner yet
but I will probably have a 1/2 cup of rice, two chicken breasts, and some frozen veggies, cooking in a pressure cooker.
A good low cal dinner that is quite filling.
>>9672196
>veggies
You have to say what kind of vegetables, anon. That's the most important part.
Even though it's only 10am here, later I'll probably make a black bean & quinoa bowl with shredded beets, kale, carrot, coconut with sesame seeds on top. And probably green tea.
>10am
Damn timezones.. Sorry about that, cute amerifags.. Breakfast, lunch, brunch details is fine too.
..I've lived so damn cheaply this past term that reading about stuff like this is fantastic.
>>9672296
Homemade simple carbonara with great ingredients.. That sounds damn delicious, anon.
If you're able to one time, try making it with sharp Swiss cheese (and parmesan). Garlic bread mandatory, of course. So decadent and delicious you won't believe it.
>>9672331
Wow, that sounds-.. measured out. Are you one of those olympian /fit/-gods?
>>9672398
Hrm, alright. Onion, a flabby old spring onion, garlic, and an old carrot I found (also flabby) finely julienned. Used some sesame seeds I had (I don't want to think about how old they are) and heavy soy sauce, a pinch of sugar along with lots of spices.
Wish I had some ginger, but it turned out delicious!
>>9672398
(I forgot to mention but that really sounds sophisticated and delicious. 10/10 would partake with, even if vegan)
Quinoa, is that kind of like millet?
>>9664888
I don't think I'd be in any position to tell a dragon what they can and can't do
>>9672747
I'm not vegan or even vegetarian but I'm lactose intolerant (it makes me very phlegmy) and I eat meat maybe once or twice a month.
But I do try to eat healthy, I make a pot of rice/quinoa and beans once a week and add stuff to it throughout the week, usually various vegetables I shred and keep in the fridge.
Pic related is my vegsona
>>9673031
Man, you're amazing. I wish I ate half as healthy as you.
When I can stop living on rice and oatmeal, I'm going to have one o' those American barbecue séances.
>page 8
This won't do. Have an update
>>9673829
Aw shit
>>9673126
I've been eating this way for about 6 months and the only difference I've noticed is that I'm never tired. I get up at 5:30 every day and never need coffee which I used to have.
Also I've found I can sometimes see about 10 seconds into the future, and I can move small objects with my mind, but only when nobody's looking.
>>9673829
This pleases me greatly. Love that style!
I'd make a new thread but I'm at work. How about this for a TotT:
Make up a dragon language and write: "I want to fuck the dragon" in it.
>>9672196
Tony's Pizza. I have it every Friday.
>>9674755
Shit, that sounds delicious. Haven't had a nice freshly baked pizza in a while. What do you have on it?
>>9674774
Usually just pepperoni. Boring, I know.
Sometimes I'll get a bunch of other stuff, like peppers, onions, sausage, bacon, etc.
>>9674849
Pepperoni is so good, though.
Wish I had an unlimited supply of pepperoni sausages.
Pro-tip when making homemade pizza: cut up one or two onions into thin strips or rings, then sautée/caramellize them. Then put them on your pizza under the cheese (along with everything else). It just blasts the pizza into another plane of existence with the added sweet onion flavour.
>>9674904
not him but shit, that sounds delicious, I'm definitely trying that sometime
>>9674904
I'll give that a shot. Sounds good.

I learned it when working at a kindergarten for a short while once in middle-Norway. There was this middle-aged wizened woman who was freakishly skilled at cooking.
I also learned kid-wrangling. Now I can wrangle a three year-old through a basketball hoop from eighty feet away.
Damn.. I can't sleep. Anyone want anything drawn?
