Farloft's Dragon Reference Shett

It turns out all dragons in the social sector have Reference Sheets. 

Farloft couldn't be without his own. 

Here it is by BlueKite of Deviant Art 

Everything you ever wanted to know about Farloft, but were hesitant to ask.

Farloft's Reference Sheet

Farloft learned last month, during his Twitter session, that most dragons had reference sheets. 

When someone asked him how tall he was he couldn't really tell them. 

I did some measuring.

BlueKite-Falls of Deviant Art put the information to paper along with some great art.

Dragon Save Christmas by the Mysterious David Stevens

Dragons Save Christmas

By David Stevens

Part 1 (2013)

It was one of those days where the wind was whistling across the arid snow-field. The call of the winter was building, but none of that mattered as the old man swung his huge feet out of his bed. He stood up and stretched, then with still slightly blurry eyes (too much eggnog last night) he reached out and picked up his trousers. He stepped lithely into them for a man of his great age. Next he pulled on his jacket adding a thick belt, and then bending and squinting, he looked down to find his black boots. His white beard as always stood out perfectly, framing his smiling happy face.

He was awake, alert and had things, far too many things to do this morning. First though he had animals to pat and talk to as well as feed, or there would be complaints. The reindeer had arrived as they always did and in plenty of time for the big day, it was to them that he strolled whistling a jolly tune, a smile fixed firmly on his face.

As he approached the first of the reindeer stalls a loud barking cough filled the air, followed swiftly by a heart rending sneeze. Santa, the old man, halted; concern blooming in his thoughts as he listened hard. The sneeze was repeated and others joined in. The reindeer were ill and by the sound of it they were suffering badly with colds and barking coughs. Oh dear, it was going to be Christmas-eve in just a few short hours! The busiest time of the year for him and without the reindeer to pull the sled for him. Christmas was in danger of being cancelled for the first time in many long centuries!

Santa opened the first door and looked in. Rudolf with his nose so red, looked up at Santa with his eyes filled with moisture and his nose flickering as he breathed. He was looking pathetic, standing on wobbly legs, shivering as though he was cold. Santa halted, he looked again and then he called for help.

“Help!” He screamed, “The reindeer are ill! Help,” he called attracting the attention of every elf in the building. Toys froze in mid-air, paintbrushes stopped in mid-stroke, the business of Christmas halted with Santa’s call.

Farloft's Coloring Contest

Bluekite, a very talented artist from the UK, has recently been working on doing some portraits of Farloft the dragon for his new coloring book. He wanted to share, so he asked me to post some of them here. You can go to his site for more pictures and to enter Farloft's Coloring Contest

These are his two favorites.

GoGoDragons - Norwich 2015

I met these lovely folks on Twitter at @gogodragons2015.
I wanted to pass on the 'heads up' for this wonderful event.

Wild in Art has chosen the Dragon, a mythical creature whose legend is much imbedded in the history of Norwich, for a Dragon Walk.

GoGoDragons! are looking for artists to submit designs and businesses to sponsor the Dragons working towards a stunning trail around the city of Norwich in June 2015.

As well as the main Dragon sculptures, there will also be community and school projects to engage with the widest possible audience. (Farloft is hoping to get in on helping the kids with their summer reading.)

Checking out their site : gogodragons

You have time to make reservations to attend this fun event. 

(If I can sell enough Farloft Chronicles, the dragon and I are going to see it!)

The Evolution of Dragons as told to Farloft by his Father

 “My father used to tell us stories about the origin of our species.” *cast eyes about over the group now assembled before him* “These are not just stories of my clan, but the history of Dragonology.”

*temples wings up high above head, ruffled them and then brings them down to fold them softly at his sides. Settles into storytelling mode - reclining with paws crossed*

“Many long years ago when rocks were soft and the world bubbled and ran with lava, from that primordial ooze the first dragons arose. They did not look like us. At the time, they were small, wingless creatures that would have fit in my paw.” *extends huge green paw to illustrate their diminutive size*

Enlightened Studies in Dragonology: The Five Important F's.

As an avid student of Dr. Earnest Drake, I have decided to continue his delightful studies with the help of Keensight.  Having been fortunate enough to make friends with two dragons, Farloft and Keensight, as well as increasing slowly my contact with several others, I hope that my findings will be helpful to other dragonologists and writers.  Today I wish to expound on the five F's of dragonology, originally postulated by Dr. Drake.
