A new tentacled friend creeps into the vale as my contest entry this time around
Gnarlautilus dragon
Elements: Water | Dark | Metal
Combo: Abyss + Conch
Quest: Chambered Troubles
As a hatchling, Gnarlautilus dragons are quite awkward swimmers that prefer to simply float wherever the current takes them. Rarely, they rise to the surface to sniff out the tastiest dragon treats. As the dragon gets larger, the more reclusive it becomes, now growing out of its shell that it cannot retract into. It has an odd rivalry with Ikatako dragons, occasionally sneaking up to steal treats. Wizards debated on naming it "Dreadnautilus", but found it to be too dramatic for this dragon.
Inspired by the chambered nautilus and vampire squid.
OMG, I LOVE Gnarlautilus! This would be such a cool dragon to have in our parks! He would get along so well with Ikatako (BFF!), and he’s a perfect fit with the other ocean and pirate dragons.

Gnarlautilus would be perfect in DragonVale! He’s totally different from anything else in the game.
I can see the vampire squid in him. This is a really creative combination of two sea creatures. I’m going to be very sad if Gnarlautilus isn’t in the game. Great work! I’m so impressed!

You’re really talented! This is awesome. I hope you win 🐨🐨 Koala luck! You could totally have your own game filled with all your dragons. I would definitely play that game!
Thank you for the kind words! You can see more of my art on my character cataloging website ToyHouse! Here’s a link to my favorite pieces: toyhou.se/18799613.artwork-examples/gallery There will be a warning that pops up explaining the stuff you might see on my page, I have it there so people can be warned about some topics that are present in my art and/or characters.
I will plan on dropping more DragonVale doodles here when I make some!
What a stunning collection! I love the headshot of the purple dragon with the leaf 💕🍂❤️. Just wanna give that little dragon a hug! 🤗
I’m not sure if you’re aware, but every now and then, Deca holds a Community Design Contest. There’s usually a theme, like Galaxy dragons, winter, desert, etc. Players can submit artwork, written descriptions, collages, etc of a dragon that fits the theme. And sometimes Deca adds a couple of the players’ dragons to the game!
Some of our lovely members have their contest dragons in the game. Worms created Ikatako, Khamsin, and the decorations Sunken Dragon and Inconspicuous Barrel (Ikatako Barrel); Arceus designed Oasian; Hawk created Lightmare and Nubis; and Alayzem is Frostwing’s dragon.
Deca hasn’t held a Community Design Contest in a while, but the next time they do it, you should definitely enter. I usually post the contest notification on the Deca Announcements thread. It would be incredible to see your creatures wandering around the Vale!
Thank you once again! I would love to submit a design for a contest in the future. This game has definitely been a big part of my life and I would love to see what the devs have for a future contest. Definitely hoping to do some more fan art in the summer when I have more time.

You just missed a Community Design Contest. It concluded a month ago. The contests are posted on the Deca Announcements thread. I can’t wait to see more of your art!
