HEY DRAGON BOOSTER FANDOM

I know you're out there Slumbering

Wanna race dragons? I uh...made a ttrpg and I need play testers. If anybody wants to take a look at it, send me an ask or reply

For anyone passing by who doesn't know the show: Roller Derby on a race track while riding dragons. The track is full of obstacles and you've got equipment to boost your abilities or give you new options. Armor, stun mines, pew pew guns, bashing sticks, rocket thrusters, glider wings, grapple hooks, etc.

For those who know ttrpg terminology: it's a theater-of-mind d6 dice pool system that uses both fixed-number and contested challenges, and is intended for multiple opposing teams of players but playing with a small group or even just two players is possible

Dragon Booster Day Racer Beau Figure by Jakks Pacific Bought online in 2019 This guy was my white whale for almost a decade since i knew these figures existed, I originally had a black and gold beau, but i was always after the red and blue variant which are notoriously expensive, i finally got this guy at auction for a really good price a few years ago and he's so neat to finally have in person!

I also painted this guys eyes to look more like the show as the originals were much less detailed, before and after under the cut

anyone remember that old show about dragon racing?

Sorry! ^^; I don't think the whole show was ever rendered in full resolution at any point. All of the screenshots are production screenshots that came from NerdCorps in some way or another. IIRC They promoted individual episodes. Quite a few of them have clearly been touched up in Photoshop at some point. I think the show would have a lot of noticeable glitches and clipping issues if rendered at full res which is part of why it was never done. (Aside from just general lack of popularity...)

That said, new reblog so more images lol

@plazasta

Its a promotional image, I think I either got it from old NerdCorps archives OR the old official website.

I'll add more under the cut.

There's more tbh, but tumblr only wants me to add 10 images per post, so sorry for that! I tried to add the more exciting ones.

cyberpunk dragon valentines

apparently these two are two of the three total female dragons that aren’t like, ancient legends or something. unfortunately for everyone involved my lingering knowledge from 2004 was not, in fact, accurate, and wyldfyre is actually a dude. but that means purple time. also the character names in this series kill me. everything is named like the edgy version you’d use on neopets when the original was taken. i love it. … am i late for the lgbtwings F/F Week? yes. dont @ me. full res + wips on patreon | buy prints and merch on redbubble

[beaucephalis]

Have you ever thought about posting your DB art on Redbubble or anything similar? It can be expensive and a bit hard to get through, but I'd love to see you sell merch one day!

I’ve though about it! I do actually have a redbubble already I just haven’t put any DB on it. Personally I’m just not happy enough with any of my DB art to sell it, I’d really need to clean it up or just draw some things from scratch for the purpose of selling them.

It’s just a chill fan server.

Inktober Day 29: Double

Lance and Parm from “Three Times a Hero”, one of the best Dragon Booster episodes imo!

that sounds so cool... you HAVE to show off the design when you’re done!!! feel free to @ me but i also track the dragon booster tag !!

Hi dude, what do you think of clear draconium and clear bone dragons (because I'm designing one)

i think that sounds AWESOME!!! i would LOVE to see a concept for that because ive never considered something like that. clear/prismatic dragons would be amazing

what were your plans on their draconium compatibility ??
