Here's a third mer-dragon fan art piece that I bill as the final art piece of Part 1 of my Mer-dragon Madness collection: the Gummi Dragons being re-skinned as "Guppi Dragons"!
Note that I intentionally misspelled guppi because it's a pormanteau of guppy and gummi. Guppy is a word for a baby fish, and gummi is what these dragons are made out of! And because they're still gummies, and the famous Swedish Fish are gummies too, that effectively makes these mysterious new cuties half Swedish Fish! Isn't that so sweet?
Part 2 will have its own share of spell-binding mer-dragon art taking place in the Candy Kingdom! Better look forward to seeing it splash down in October!

It's time to take my Dragonpool and Yetirine fan art to the next level and slap them on the front cover of an imagined comic book. Enjoy a mint-condition copy (pun intended) for the cost of 5 gold bars!
From what I've said before, Caramel Comics, the issue publisher and creator of these superheroes, is the Candy Kingdom's own parody of Marvel Comics, and I've gone the extra mile to actually make a parody logo that resembles the Marvel logo, coloring it orange. Since it's hard to actually reproduce from scratch, I used a Marvel logo generator online and digitally traced out its appearance with hand and mouse to paint out the logo, and I did the same with the title logo, which is meant to be evocative of Deadpool and Wolverine, the two superheroes being parodied. With both of these things together, along with the price and issue number indicator, a smashing background and my original fan art of the parody characters, I've managed to cobbled together what should pass as the front cover of an imaginary comic book that anyone would wish were real.

You might be wondering if there are dentists in the Candy Kingdom. Well, Mary the Tooth Fairy happens to be a licensed one, and yes, she's not afraid to give Izzy her periodic dental exam.
If you're wondering how Mary's a dentist, just take a look at the Smiley Seas episode (episode 152), where she's busy inspecting giant human teeth. But when it comes to giving a huge dragon her checkup, she won't get the job done without obtaining more appropriate dentist equipment, and not just the typical dentist outfit that I came up for her here. She has to wear a medical mask and sterile gloves, to ward off any disgusting bacteria (and some unpleasant odors) inside this monster's gaping mouth. And of course, appropriately sized tools that can help her take a good look at and work on the numerous tiny teeth that lie between Denize's jagged lips.
While Mary works inside Denize's mouth, she uses one hand to hold up the upstairs jaw while working on teeth with the other, using both her strength and flight to hold up the jaw. And she used some magic dust (similar to how Novacain is used in dental operations) to shut down her big purple tongue so that it doesn't lick and attack her.

Today marks the global launch of The Elder Scrolls: Castles, the latest installment of Bethesda Softworks' 30-year old high fantasy RPG series The Elder Scrolls, and to celebrate, I whipped up fan art of Denize doing her best cosplay impression as a Dragonborn from the best-selling game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim!
Forgive me for not knowing that Dragonborns, by definition, cannot actually be dragons, but I felt that this was the best way for me to celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Elder Scrolls on a Year of the Dragon. Another reason why I decided to do this is because I have to remind everyone that Candy Crush Saga is being owned by the same company that owns Bethesda Softworks, a notorious but otherwise notable video game company: Microsoft. Yes,Candy Crush Saga and Elder Scrolls are all part of Microsoft in its push to stay relevant in the console wars.
This picture shows Denize letting out a loud shout, like all Dragonborns can, to unleash spells called thu'um. A famous one is the telekinetic fus ro dah, but I decided to make a sweet parody of it called fudge roll dah, to keep it in the sweet theme of Candy Crush. Better stand back, because you have no idea how powerful a shout like this can be when it comes from the throat of an actual monstrous dragon.

Once again, I've found another sweet parody crossover between Candy Crush Saga and some other popular IP, but this one's a bit of a doozy: Candy Crush Saga meets Borderlands. Yes, the game series that got a movie last month, and is turning 15 this year!
Meet the Bordercandy Belles, Lilize and Tiny Tiffi! They're Denize and Tiffi parodying Borderlands regulars Lilith and Tiny Tina, respectively, and they are hunting for the sweetest Vault in the galaxy on none other than the planet Candora (the planet Pandora in the game series)!
It took some thinking to realize that Denize could be Lilith, because Lilith had pyrokinetic powers as an Eridian siren, which goes well with Izzy's firebreathing. And Tiffi could be Tiny Tina because both are cute young girls who can do cool stuff, not just because their names sound a little similar!
When I saw the Borderlands movie, I came to think of Lilith as a Lara Croft in space with her twin pistols, so I had no problem modifying my earlier art of Denize cosplaying Lara Croft into her being Lilith. But I had to make Tiny Tiffi from scratch, making sure to design her as Tiny Tina appeared in the movie, clothing, accessories and all! And I had her hold up what would have looked like a bunny bomb (but don't worry, it's just a prop) for an added touch.

The Music Season's Music Tournaments are kicking off today, and that means it's time for another cheerleading kit for Denize!
At first, it could be as simple as re-painting one of her earlier kits to reflect the mix of orange, yellow and pink in this contest, as well as putting on the caramel musical note on the bra. But I had to take things one step further and have her make some noise of her own in a musical contest like this: I then added a wireless headset for her to wear so that she could sing while cheering, and also gave her a rattler tambourine for her to hold in her tail to shake like crazy. It's the only one-handed musical instrument that I could think of that could be easy to use right off the top of my head, but I'm sure it'll get the job done.

In the heat of a spirited Music Season, I am proud to present my fan art parodying a famous album cover that turns 55 around this time of year: The Sweetles' Taffy Road, a homage to The Beatles' Abbey Road!
Yes, this is based on an earlier parody album cover of Abbey Road created by Candy Crush Saga's social media team made many months ago, which I reproduce below:
Of course, as you can see, I was not pleased with seeing Denize stuck through the ground like she's in a video game glitch, nor did I like that the characters weren't exactly put to scale. So I made some fan art that remedies these errors to present a more scale-accurate version of this iconic moment. Unfortunately, with free stock photos of Abbey Road being scant, the final cover art I settled with doesn't exactly allow me to show Denize at her full height. But nevertheless, you will like what I have here!
And of course, it took some thinking for me to think up of a parody of the Beatles, and was able to come up with a rhyming candy-themed parody of them called the Sweetles. And the word taffy was the first candy that came to mind when coming up with a good candy-themed parody for Abbey Road.
I hope you'll enjoy the sweet tunes of this album while the Music Season is on full blast! It delivers a great setlist to crush candies to!

Enjoy this lovely picture of Denize giving her daughter Didi the most affectionate hug a mother could give, in a way only a dragon can: gently wrapping her long prehensile tail around her for a sweet, cuddly snuggle!
Given that Denize's species of dragon is long and snakelike, I just had to think of how interesting it would look for these monsters to give their loved ones a hug by simply coiling around them, something that only they can do. And with their tails and spines being studded with what appears to be spikes, Denize gently wrapping her tail around her daughter allows these pointy things to stick out from these coils and send an interesting message: nobody messes with my little girl. And that shows how protective, caring and loving she is for her kids. The added touch of showing Denize herself calmly lowering her head upon Didi also turns up the love a notch as well.
Also observe that the tip of Denize's tail also caresses Didi's cheek, and how she also leaves out a crack in between her tail coils to allow the tip of Didi's tail to hang out freely.

Here's another picture of Izzy holding her daughter close. This time, eye to eye, belly down, with her prehensile tail again.
She clutches her tightly but gently in the coils of her tail and tells her that she is irreplaceable and would always be her daughter.

The calendar has turned to October and it's time for a spooky picture of Denize dressing up as an iconic horror character from a recently released movie…a Saturnian Sandworm from Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the sequel to the 1988 film Beetlejuice.
Nobody would think they could cosplay as these mysterious monsters, but Denize leverages her serpentine body to actually pull it off. Due to the unique anatomy of Saturnian sandworms, the costume she wears is bulky and increases her overall girth, and her own jaws would serve as the inner jaws of the double onion-layered jaws of the sandworm. The red eyes of the outer jaw are eyepieces that Izzy sees the outside world with to maintain the four-eyed view of the monster. The costume has sleeve holes to let her stick her limbs out to walk in the costume, as it's quite cumbersome to slither in it. Also note that the black spike on the back of the sandworm's head is reproduced multiple times and hollowed out inside to allow her dorsal spikes to stick in the costume without tearing it.
