Master Chief of Pern

Masiefth is my newest addition at Arolos Weyr. He was impressed by N'than in late September from a video game themed clutch. Masiefth is the Master Chief from Halo.

The piece was drawn entirely in GIMP over a couple weeks with a line art originally drawn for another piece and edited to fit Masiefth. The background was drawn using a tutorial by *DawnFrost. It's my first attempt at some forest and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.


Masiefth's Info-
Appearance: An average size dragon, Masiefth is a light colored brown with a dark head. The dark parts actually make him look like he has a helmet on, especially in contrast to his body being so uniform in color otherwise. He has slightly large wings but when he flies they only help him, for he is an extremely good flier. His larger wings will not make him fast, but will add to his stamina.

Personality: Masiefth is the kind of dragon you want by your side. He will take the lead when needed but will step back to let others have the glory when he needs to. A perfect dragon? There is no such thing of course. Masiefth tends to take on too much work and will need to be told to take a break every now and then. In fact he's liable to injure himself in thread before he'll refuse to come down, and sometimes not even then. It will take a strong rider to prevent this brown from getting into too much trouble.

He is a good listener but the trouble is he seems to take on everyone else’s problems. If someone loses something close to them it will be Masiefth that comes to the fore and tries to find it. If someone is in distress, he will feel distressed too and will do anything in his power to fix it. He also likes to solve problems and will often be in deep thought as he tries to figure out the next move. Unfortunately he doesn't like help solving his own problems and this will cause more than one fight with his lifemate most likely.

The brown can be quite stubborn and if he think he is doing something the right way he won’t back down or change his mind. This could be quite challenging for his life mate and his lifemate will need to be able to tell him no, and to explain why. He will also be insatiably curious and this will feed back into his lifemate needing to explain things patiently and in detail before Masiefth will accept an answer.
