| Sprite Museum!
Have you ever wondered what the dragons you see today used to look like? Well my friend, today is your lucky day! Welcome to The Sprite Muesum, where I’ve been digging up old sprites, new sprites and never-been-seen-before sprites!
So sit back and enjoy the nostalgia! Make sure you click the links- they’re gold!
Let’s start with the newest sprite: Only the Sunblaze! Quite a wealth for this one, including the original lineart: Lineart
We then had the sprite, which you should be familiar with:
Zay had some fun with photoshop sometime when she first made it: Fiery photoshop!
And now we have this sexy new one:
The very first layout that DC had was: The Blaze of Glory
Layout dragons in the past have included the green guardian: Guardian dragon banner
And a layout image that was supposedly lost forever, the dream wisher! Dream wisher dragon
Zay’s also worked on other things, including: Advertisement banner
~
But it’s not only the layout of DC that’s changed over the years. Dragons have also had some major changes to their sprites. We shall start with the winter dragon:
=> Large winter
The lightning storm has had a few changes- we have a lineart: Lineart And also it seems, two different colours!
Now of course, the lightning storm looks like this:
The scythe claw has been through quite a few changes- I bet newer members won’t recognise this first sprite by Zay!
Aero then made a couple of sprites for this breed, quoted by Zay to be “the better ones”: This is a familiar scythe claws: And now for their newest images;
What is now the Ebony Hunter was once the Infinus dragon: =>
Lifeblood: Large lifeblood To the new lifeblood:
The desert chaser’s always had the same sort of design: Large desert chaser =>
Ying Yang dragons were once:
And they are now;
Guardian: =>
Zay had some colouring fun with the sword dragon, making two different versions:
Red version Now the sword dragon looks like this:
Cosmos: =>
What is now the spine dragon was once the spine razor: =>
No matter what sprite the shade runner has had, they’ve always been lean and lovely:
Red Rock: => =>
Now called the Rams-Horn, was once just the ram: =>
Nyx first drew the lava dragon:
Aero had a go next:
And then we got this one!
Magpie: Large magpie From baby to adult => =>
For a long time, the lion-maned dragon was called the leosaur: Large Leosaur =>
My favourite dragon, the lash!
Large pic Rogue has the linked picture stuck on her wall Aero played around with some lash dragon colours, making this gorgeous image:
To the present:
Mmm, love. Enough of the lash fangirling! The horse dragon’s gone through a couple of changes: =>
~
Some dragon breeds have dropped out of existence, for one reason or another. First up, the peppermint: Peppermint large
The beautiful sand dragon:
The dangerous black blade dragon (bring her back I say!
Large image
The Horn dragon!
The ghost:
Ghost large
Boneweld:
The oriental, one of Zay’s first dragons: Oriental
Alaron’s Moon dragon:
A few from Soya-sushi now, first up, the coral dragon…
The snake:
The tyrannosaurus:
And the nessie!
And Zay’s griffa dragon!
Of course, we can’t leave off Zay’s first dragon, the Terrorwind!
~
And the ones you’ve all been waiting for, sprites that have never been seen:
The Casper dragon: The Casper Dragon
Griffin dragon, by Soya:
Tornado dragon, by Alaron:
The Cheetah dragon, by Nyx:
The palmtail!

Wind dragon: Large image
The exotic sea dragon: Sea dragon
Well folks, that’s the end of the tour, but there still remains one thing- Thanks! Of course, this fabulous museum wouldn’t be here at all without Zay, Aero, Nyx, Alaron and Sushi’s sprites, so thanks go out to them! (Course, Alaron and Sushi aren’t here any more, but I still acknowledge )
More thanks to Zay, who raided her photobucket, and Aero, whose photobucket I raided myself! Hope you enjoyed the show, and make some noise for the fabulous spriters next time you see them in the CB!
