*FULL BODY ZAIGORN: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/36688756/
A long time has passed since the first songs related to the great dragon Zaigorn appeared, who is said to have become the most powerful and fierce dragon of all. He was so feared by his enemies that he came to have the nickname "demon" and so adored by his followers that many came to believe he was an angel or a god.
But what the songs forget is that Zaigorn began by being only another primal dragon like any other.
At first Zaigorn was a common dragon with white and blue scales. Being the son of the king and queen of the northern territories, Zaigorn had an important place in the hierarchy of dragons. Especially because Zaigorn had the unusual gift of sculpting and creating creatures that fulfilled the role of servants in his family.
These creatures were called Kobolds, soulless beings who fulfilled all the minor tasks that a slave would do. It is said that Zaigorn created a third of all known Kobolds races. But these beings had no will to live or fear of death, they only fulfilled what their masters said without hesitation. This was something that dragons didn't care about, for them they were just objects.
Despite being surrounded by his creations, Zaigorn always felt alone, with no one to appreciate his creations or share his passion. So to placate his empty heart, the white dragon committed the first great sin known to dragons: he gave a small piece of his soul to a female kobold that he created solely for him.
Endowed with soul and willingness to live, this little Kobold had a warm heart that captivated the white dragon. It was the first time he saw life in one of his creations and not just an animated creature that roamed without soul through the corridors of the castles looking for tasks to do for their dragon masters.
Zaigorn created the female kobold with an affinity to dancing and playing music, things that filled their hearts with happiness. The little kobold danced like a swan on the water before the eyes of Zaigorn who soon felt love for her.
Zaigorn was in love with his own creation, although he also saw her as a living being equal to him. And for the first time the white dragon was accompanied.
But life is fragile and can come off as easy as the leaves of a tree. And so it was in the case of little Kobold with a soul, who ended up being killed by Zaigorn's brother, who only saw her as another creature inferior to him.
Having lost the love of his life and seeing his creation being treated as garbage, Zaigorn felt that he had lost everything. And his heart full of light turned to revenge.
Returning the favor to his brother, he killed him with his own hands.
This was the beginning of the deep hatred that Zaigorn began to feel for those of his race and for the terrible power they exerted on other beings inferior to them. After shedding his brother's blood, the white dragon was persecuted and accused by those of his lineage, which led him to kill even more, either by hiding his crimes or by revenge. In was an endless spiral.
But something positive happened among all this tragedy: after the death of the only kobold with soul, the spark of life that Zaigorn had given to her spread to the nearby kobolds and suddenly the soulless servants began to feel desires to live. A slow but sure process that sooner or later reached all the Kobolds.
Although still loyal to their masters, the Kobolds now feared and protected themselves from death, as well as sought the heat and light where before nothing mattered. This quickly began to be unbearable to dragons, who saw those souls as an infection. And the Kobolds began to be persecuted for rebelling before their masters.
But Zaigorn, seeing in all the kobolds of the world a piece of himself, felt the duty and the impulse to protect every kobold that now yearned for life.
Suddenly Zaigorn, who had lived all his life as a sculptor, was fighting battles and wars beside his creations, with a renewed love within him.
Thus began the "First Kobold War" and with each dragon that Zaigorn killed he became more powerful and his thirst for blood too. Legends say that Zaigorn came to kill so many dragons that his power allowed him to transform into a gigantic feral dragon that spit fire on his enemies like a furious volcano.
Also, the Kobolds for the first time were and felt free under Zaigor's protective wings, making them to call him as "father."
During this war Zaigorn created a special kobold race, which he gave the will to fight and protect others from their lineage. This breed is called Zaigonol, also known as black kobolds. Their chest scales were red to symbolize the spilled blood of the first kobold that had life. Which too was the reason why Zaigorn changed his colors from blue and white to red and white.
The war looked promising and the victory within reach for the Kobolds. But hope is fragile and can come off as easy as the leaves of a tree as well.
Terrified by the immense and sudden power that the Kobolds had with Zaigorn, all the dragons in the world put their differences aside and allied themselves against the common enemy: Zaigorn, who put all the dominion and power of dragons in jeopardy. And in the blink of an eye the situation reversed.
After a trap and a battle that lasted many days and nights, the Kobolds armies were defeated and their free cities conquered.
The songs say that Zaigorn disappeared and was either killed in battle or captured by his enemies leaving no trace. But he gave up his life for the Kobolds to be able to flee from the fury of the dragons. This allowed a small number of Kobolds to retain their freedom, although most returned to slavery and servitude.
800 years have passed and the world never recovered from such a war. Those that were once kingdoms and empires of dragons were transformed into feudal governments that now fight endelessly against each other. And the Kobolds are now slaves of all dragons.
Although some Kobolds still have faith that Zaigorn will one day return to destroy the chains of slavery, as he did centuries ago.
Maybe the great dragon will never come back because he has already perished but some kobolds have seen in other dragons a renewed spark of hope. Such as the case of the white dragon Cléiron, whose kobolds have felt he is the closest thing to Zaigorn there is.
Some even call him father, just like Zaigorn...
Others say they can feel the fire of the great dragon in Cleiron's eyes… and maybe… just maybe… Zaigorn is still there…
(Both Zaigorn's physical form and history can change in the future, since this is literally the beginning of a new book for me. But I can say that Zaigorn is more than 80 meters long and massive as a frigate.
As with Cleiron a year ago, the creation of Zaigorn further expands my world. And I hope to grow even more as an artist and dragon by the end of this year. A proud roar comes from the chest of this dragon artist once again~)

Awesome work man!
Thank you very much for your kind words.
I love how he look! well done my dude!
And you also have to remember I've been perfecting my style for more than 10 years.
but yee, it sure takes a long time to become as perfect as you big boy, your style is wonderful and unique
With effort you get everything you want~
It's also that I'm an engineer, so I have the mentality to build and fix things. if there is a problem or obstacle, one must work to solve it and not cry.
Y gracias, amor, genial te guste la historia. Tú también ayudaste mucho con la traducción.
Como dice el refran: detrás de cada gran hombre hay una... golondrina esponjosa ayudando.
A ver qué más haces con este nuevo personaje owo. Bri.
Pues he de hacer más cosas de Zaigorn, aunque es un feral y resulta menos flexible que un antro. Aun así espero dibujarlo de cuerpo completo para mostrar lo inmenso que es, porque su porte es épico.
Thanks.
keep up the awesome work
Thanks for the support.
Well, Zaigorn likes to protect his Kobolds and set his enemies on fire on the battlefield ehehe.
cuando parece que has alcansado la perfecion sales con aún mejor arte!
Y muchas gracias, ya sabes que uno debe de mejorar siempre que sea posible.
de veritas que te pasas dragonzote, tu arte es 5 estrellas
Y gracias por la alta calificación ehehe.
Zaigorn is originally white and blue.
Gorgeous as always :D
Glad you like it.
You manage to make aggressive-looking dragons look beautiful and protective wow
really gorgeous
and cool design <3
Glad you enjoy it!
Your art is always rich in everything! ^^
One of my biggest dreams is to write a book and also make illustrations for it.
It's difficult but not impossible. But one day i will.
You are one of my favorite artists ^^
Well, I also have the problem of translating a complete book from spanish to english ahaha.
but it doesn't matter because you make excellent drawings
My idea in this drawing was to make a supernaturally powerful dragon, something out of the ordinary.
those colours and his build! such an amazing design i love it.
Zaigorn is indeed a handsome derg ehehe.
diseñamos el dragon mas poderoso del mundo... y lo conseguimos *destruye el edificio*
Pues más o menos igual. Zaigorn escapa y casi destruye el mundo.
Very good, Mr. Clerian.
Espero dibujar más de él en el futuro~
Puede que incluso con comparación de tamaño, porque éste chico es gigante a joder, del tamaño de una fragata o destructor.
god this is amazing!
Also thanks for the appreciation.
It would be great to write a book about Zaigorn, but it takes a lot of time and I only write in Spanish sadly. But thanks!
Also the Spanish thing is a bit sad...
I just have to learn more and improve my english.
Ya did an amazing job and gotta agree with everyone, he is a handsome dragon master.
It seems a lot of people liked Zaigorn's design, he is really a dragon worthy of epic stories and songs. Glad you like it.
And it's because you are a great artist doing a great job!
you are really fantastic
Awesome drawing
So I faved first and then thought... I wish I had a godly sona',
but then I realised feeding narcissism probably isn't a good idea.
Also if you read the story I put in the description you will know that Zaigorn is a character full of pain and loss. He is powerful but also realistic.
Certainly the realism of the character's story is something characters like him often lack I find. Adds a nice flavour imo.
Some of my characters are like comic characters, ambiguous antiheroes or villains, but none is perfect or a mary sue.
I find it quite exhausting myself, and find it more a pain than a compliment. Maybe that's just me however.
And people seem to like my proud but respectful personality . Because I'm not arrogant neither dramatic.
Such is a great start to that new book, and in every way worth that proud roar. Very well done.
Zaigor could be considered an artist who loved his creation too much, to the point that he unleashed hell on anyone who threatened the life of his kobolds. Zaigon could be considered VERY similar to me, because I love and take care of my characters with all my heart (and I would most likely unleash hell for those I love too)
Zaigorn was originally blue and white, very similar to Cléiron, although he used to smile more, since the loss of his beloved kobold he became serious and inexpressive. But Zaigorn looked much happier when he created the love of his life, happy but also innocent.
Thanks again~
Ferocious and handsome
Pero sigo prefiriendo a mi blanco con panza azul, mas abrazable y mas fácil de consentir, abrazar y morder... ñam ñam ñam
uwu♥
Y gracias, genial que te guste el dragonzote ehehe.
What a great tale and a great drawing too.
Ah and three more words! Add. To. Favorites!!!!!
I put a lot of effort into creating characters with rich stories as well as good visual art. A good character always has a good story, without it is flat and empty.
And many thanks for reading my story~
Glad you like my big dragon.

Especially the head with the horns look pretty unique and cool.
Keep up the good work! ^^

Certain things should never be changed.
Happy that you like him!
