Ooooh my gosh CUUUUTE

Who here is big enough to throw the small tree “stick” for Dakota?

LMAO

the way she'd so HAPPILY bound after the tree

This Oreo Dino on his way to unroot a tree to make this happen

That's quite an unbalanced tug-o-war for the stick

Just don't accidentally toss 'em if they hold on!

Very much excited for the Tinder piece already too

Not even the most secure collar is safe from the lockpick that is prey
The framing of this piece is positively stunning - and congrats with finishing right before the turn of the month! Thanks for everything you do, Numz 🙏

Gosh, what a awesome show of force with that snap! The way the tattered pieces are used here to convey motion with the break is so good!

Im so glad you guys like it!!! 😭💛💛💛

It’s really good!

It is always good to see some durability testing with the latest collars. Tinder Y appears to be very good at quality assurance~

nomf

roll up in tongue is a good nom style~

Love the tongue roll 👌

Writes that down.

I especially love that next to last shot where the tongue-roll is just barely sticking out of the maw. Completely hidden from view.

Gosh that is so good

Next story shall feature that

I misinterpreted that next to last panel I see XD

still good!

It is good they are gentle dragons~ 💙

Their maws look so cozy

fully agree, almost like soft pillows

that's my favorite headcanon

that the inside of dragonmaws are like a big bouncy house

but the texture is a soft, slippery minky

(at least the dragons I draw)

Not to say the inside of their maws is soft like FUR with minky, just that minky is my favorite fabric thing, and when I think of 'plush' and 'soft' its usually that if that makes sense!

soft maws are good

covered in heavy saliva that just sticks all over you

sticky slippery

So good to be in, but so easy to accidentally slip deeper in~

It is good that canonically they are welcoming, warm, soft, and accommodating. Treating even prey well goes a long way~

This collar is not going to snap as easily as the last ones!

I like the idea that they keep making collars to keep these preds from swallowing people, and they just keep breaking them.

dangerous swallowing strength

Preds like to flex about the toughest ones they burst, carrying 'em around like trophies

Leathers of increasing thicknesses, before moving on to stronger alloys of metals

Oh, that cat is going to help me break that collar eventually. I just don’t want to lose him early!

Bring in the bigger collars I guess, looks like we are going to need new invitations soon here with all these preds...

Someone's gonna eventually host some collar snapping championship

Collar dimensions scaled to fit each pred for fairness

Width of throat versus the thickness of the leather. Plus proportionally sized meals.

Remind me to get a thing of Daniel in sum Derg maw

No joke, best advantage is to make folks so comfy they fall asleep, they don't even notice anything

Pred response:
This collar isn't made to keep me from getting you in!
It's made to keep you from getting out!

That's the secret market success

Make the collars to help the less powerful ones keep their prey down

It was all a misunderstanding of the order of eating prey and putting on the collar

...this is hella appealing and Im adopting this

Do It!

Imagine them holding collars up like a belt in a wwe championship

omg lmao!

perhaps something like drawing straws or mystery collar selections game show style. Then the prey has to hope the collar they chose won't snap. If it doesn't, they get a prize! If not.. glorp~

It could be a REALLY fun series of images

We could do it YCH style!
Dakota, Vii and Nitro compete for the collar snap competition!
Each image is a ych for the prey spots. And the predator with the most votes snaps the collar!

Its like

3 rounds, winner becomes CHAMP

Oooh. That could be a really fun ych comp~

This is actually making me want to draw the oreo dino wearing them but just for the cosplay like an NFL jersey kind of thing

the reactions of the others as their collar snaps, and watching the others trying to snap theirs

but is there a way it could be done with a poll so nobody can see who is winning before it ends?

besides the fact they are all beautiful creatures and deserve to snap their collars for the reward

Just imagining the Prey holding the belt that they snapped whilst the Pred is just like "You basic bish, didn't even snap cheap fake leather one." And it amuses me

Is it illegal to show three dragons with neck bulges in the same image?

I am completely down to see this as a YCH thing

Vii hasn't had a chance for one to memory, would be a nice way to give 'em the spotlight in one

Ohhh, I'm always up to see more Vii content!

Vii is in the YCH dragon comic~

but Vii is a good shitten that needs plenty of love

That’s a really good idea!

It’s dangerous at least.

I could see multiple ways to implement different collars across different rounds, but the most straightforward thing I'm imagining is multiple rounds (maybe three or four) with progressively stronger collars across 'em. The pred with the most votes easily breaks theirs, the second highest strains but their collar is in the middle tearing/cracking, and the third struggles with even less give on the collar. First place of each round gets 3 points, second gets 1, and last gets 0; the pred with the most points after all rounds holds their toughest burst collar as their Collar Snapping Championship trophy

If we implement even more characters, I could imagine a single elimination bracket with a round of 16 having a normal leather collar, quarterfinals with a bulky leather collar, semifinals with a simple metal collar, and a finals with a thick, decorative metal collar. Winner of each match busts theirs, and the loser doesn't. (Or if it comes down to the wire, both bust theirs, but the winner does it in fashion.)

Dude seeing that ych would be amazing

And each dragon gets a pretty good fill!

Or at least I would hope they all manage to get one or two down.

Makes me a bit jealous I can’t compete.
But I can send in a pretty good audition tape!

made a quickie silly after this thought, support team collars asjdklfjasldkfjsal

Hahaha that's perfect

Every pred needs their own merch for the fans

Nitro's collars have a drippy acid green around the tops, Dakota's and Vii's have their respective colors and patterns

Pred banners are torn in half by audience members when they're on the fan cam, in support of them busting their collars

I am on Team Vii! Cause Vii-ctory is theirs!

I don’t know who to root for.

Too many good dragons.

Nitro won the first ever championship and was almost banned from ever competing again 'cause he kept deliberately drooling acid onto the collars to his advantage

Referees would've spoken up but no one wants to risk getting acid snarled onto 'em

But yeah, between Nitro, Dakota, and Vii, it's a tough choice, they're all such such charming creations

Referees don’t want to become practice for the next round.

Also, I’m now thinking of fans wearing their own collars, with some collar tags either asking to be next, or in support of their pred.

I love the idea of it being a big event n such

The event gets big money from fans that are willing to put in a fair sum to enter a lottery for being the next prey for their chosen pred - each member's always on the edge of their seat when the spotlights fly across the audience to reveal who the lucky winners are

Imagine if they voted in the announcers

There could be two lotteries, one for to be prey, and the other to get the collar remains.

With enough luck, the prey getting eaten will also win the collar for when they reform, having the rarest honor of being able to walk up to their favorite and asking for their signature on the collar they helped bust

Preds getting sponsored by local reformation centers to do psa’s on responsible predding.

Referee for such an event is certainly a dangerous job.
But if I must volunteer to ensure everyone has a fair snap, then I will be ready to wear the stripes and get close to the action

We could call it the SNAP Event!
Super Nummy Adaptable Predator Event. The pred must adapt to the collar they are given in order to get a meal.
They will not only be testing their strength, but with each round, their gutteral capacity.

I’ll commentate if I can’t compete! Or if we need a less edible ref.

No eating the ref! Otherwise it can not be a fair competition

That’ll get you an instant red card.

penalty

Do they get a thicker or reinforced collar as a penalty?

-1 point

Nitro getting 0 points each round in this championship, saying "screw it" in the finals then eating the ref to end up in the negatives

Hmm. Perhaps they have so many swallows per round? Penalty is one less attempt

or a reinforcment strap for the collar?

hey! D:

I love the two of them together. Their interactions seem fun.

Both adorable and lovable kitties~ ❤️
I am glad you got the opportunity to finish this piece up!

I know those birds!

No idea who they are, but I've seen them around

At least I recognize them. I’ve only talked to Rein some at mostly MFF about their books.

Them some good looking birbs, though I am also out of the loop lol

That turned out really good!

Top notch rendering as always

It is good to see ya explaining your style. Natural flow is always a small but effective detail.

Appreciate seeing the process you have behind these pieces

Sisu? I just saw the polls and I am cornfused

The post for October's requests was around a week or so ago, among the ones hearted most was the Sisu gulp again

I'm all for seeing it happen

I dunno who Sisu is 💀
At least the name does not ring a bell

The main dragon character from Raya and the Last Dragon

ah. I have not seen that movie yet

That lion mane looks vaguely familiar

She's been done before ye, not too sure who this chara belongs to though

Preeetty pretty pretty 🙏

Oh my hod that lighting tho

It's super pretty Tartii!

Hi Sunnet!

Gorgeous!
