So many ideas . . .
6 months ago
You'd think taking a week off would provide a great opportunity to actually draw more art, right?
...but that week is over now.
Welp, if it's any consolation I did come up with an idea after watching a certain movie...
There are certain stories (and also myths) where a dragon's hoard is enchanted/cursed, or otherwise capable of transforming a greedy person into a dragon (e.g. Fafnir) when they try to claim it, right?
But what if this was the actual reproductive strategy for that type of dragon? That pile of treasure may look like gold coins (and/or actually be gold coins), but the dragon's possession of it has imbued them with one sole function: to transform people into more dragons (at least, if the right conditions are met).
I already have my own idea along this line (I wrote it down at the time, to reference later), but if this sounds like a fun idea for you guys/anyone else to chase, go right ahead.
Let me know if you do something with it!

I certainly like the sound of that!

OP
Naturally, this cracked open an iceberg of worldbuilding and my imagination jumped right in. Keeping my details to myself for now, of course, but let's just say these "gold dragons" are (for very complicated reasons) the root cause of basically every human-dragon conflict involving a treasure hoard.
