A random selection of familiars from Flight Rising! There are so many delightful creatures on Sornieth #FlightRising #FRFanArt

Cat Brooks @batcrooks.bsky.social · Sep 5

I know they're evergreen but I feel like I've seen more airplanes lol. Also a lot of dragonite-type dragons?

Cat Brooks @batcrooks.bsky.social · Aug 15

I made this post on the FR forums to go more in depth about the "lore" and thought process behind this stuff if you want to know more!! www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/3...

These in-game battle screens of the starters were made by @sourdeer.com !! They're incredible. She also made the game logos that you can see on the magazine spread. All the text either uses the Flight Rising Runes font made by Arkeyr79 on FR, or is based on it!

Cat Brooks @batcrooks.bsky.social · Aug 15

The starters: Moofio, Dilloom, and Mamertyke! Based on an Ophiotaurus, Armored Colony, and Mammertee. And a Shade-infested Nogdon (based on a Noggle), and a corrupted capture crystal!

Three Pokemon-like creatures: a cow calf with a snake tail and fire horns, a green armadillo with a mushroom on its back, and a walrus-like creature with a horn on its nose.

A dragon-like creature with fins and a mane has glowing red eyes and a cloud of black smoke coming out of its head.

Cat Brooks @batcrooks.bsky.social · Aug 15

The protagonists and Professor Wispwillow, and her partner Crystafam, Rosmack (based on the "Rodaque" familiar on FR)

Two flight rising dragons drawn in a Pokemon "Sugimori" style. A yellow fae sits on the left, holding up a floating crystal that resembles a pokeball. A grey mirror sits on the right, wearing a baseball cap.

An anthropomorphic llama woman dressed as a scientist stands with a cane. On her back is a possum-like creature with a skull marking on its belly.

check out this scan of the dracorocoro issue from back when crystafam gem & gold came out!

(this is very silly FR fanart, lol. What would a pokemon game look like if the Sornieth dragons invented it? the pkmn are based on FR familiars and the protagonists are dragons!) #FRFanart #FlightRising🧵 1/5

A fake magazine spread made to imitate the look of Japanese magazine "Corocoro", which reported on Pokemon news. The illustrations in the spread are of Flight Rising characters drawn in a Pokemon style, and all the text is made to resemble runes found on Flight Rising

this is not my usual social media so just gonna toss a batch of artfights and run lol #artfight2025 #teamfossils

an alien treefrog with glowing markings sits amongst neon glowing mushrooms while glowing alien insects swarm about

a new type of pikmin, which are tiny alien creatures with flowers on their heads. this type is called "picklemin" and the image shows a small group of them carrying a cucumber through a leafy garden

a red dragon whose lower half is entirely spinal column flies over the neon grid of a rhythm game

in a snowy area lit by a flaming log, a black wolf with fresh bleeding gashes snarls at a dragon's tail that curls around the foreground

Oh, 2008 apparently! I didn't realize how quickly the first arc went up from start to finish lol.

Cat Brooks @batcrooks.bsky.social · Jul 19

Nature of Nature's Art nofna.com/index.php?ch... , been reading since 2007! The link goes to the first page of the first arc. Its 7th arc is in progress. The first couple arcs are perhaps the most approachable, they're about animals learning magical kung fu basically. It gets extremely weird.

Nature of Nature's Art

A series of graphic novels. Animals throughout modern history seek to define their societies under the auspices of the second coming of the neocortex.

Art of one of my perma-baby dragons on FR, a little Mirror hatchling :) (Reposted because I forgot it can't be transparent lol) @flightrising.com #FlightRising #FRFanart

Art of a Mirror dragon hatchling from Flight Rising, a dragon with four eyes and head fins. It is black, white, yellow, and orange in markings resembling butterfly wings and a mixture of an orca and a king penguin. It is sitting like a little puppy and smiling cutely.

Bishaten, Nargacuga, or Pukei Pukei!

Cat Brooks @batcrooks.bsky.social · Apr 11

this is extremely funny because my friend and I have been playing for a similar amount of time and we remarked on this also. We were like, not even for buying all the things in the commissary? Not even for..? No? We have been taught to crave the chievemos lol

Cat Brooks @batcrooks.bsky.social · Apr 10

frblr is one of the older and healthier online communities these days. I remember back during the colorwheel expansion in 2016, Flight Rising was in the top 20 of ALL VIDEO GAMES on tumblr that month.

Flight Rising fanart of my ruthless Lightning mercenary, Amperage! #FRFanArt #FlightRising

A Snapper dragon from Flight Rising. She is yellow with glow-in-the-dark blue jagged stripes and lots of spikes. She is sitting at a table in a private room at a restaurant or club, with a view of the Lightning city Goldensparc visible through a gap in the curtain sectioning it off. On the table is a map of the Shifting Expanse, with a railroad and other landmarks marked. Her hand is resting on an empty Electrician's Power Pack apparel item. She is looking at the camera, with the POV being someone seated across the table from her, hiring her services.

No slowtime, but u also don't need to be too great at aiming since u are shooting at a big ol monster and u get to keep a nice healthy distance from it (unlike the melee guys). Once you get dif ammo, you'll want to aim for injuries/specific body parts (ex. slicing for tails/wings) but it's not bad!

Cat Brooks @batcrooks.bsky.social · Feb 28

I have played World and Rise (loved Rise) and will be playing Wilds with Light Bowgun. No one ever seems to mention Light Bowgun lol but I love it. My monhun experience is a shooting game. I don't know what my friend with a sword is doing up there, I am shooting. (Really pops off with slicing ammo)

Cat Brooks @batcrooks.bsky.social · Feb 28

many such cases

I still love mimics. They're just lil guys who like hiding.

A crab-like mimic chest covered in barnacles. With a crazy tongue and rusty sword in claw.

Cat Brooks @batcrooks.bsky.social · Jan 19

Somehow this entire picture looks like an illustration. The table and tool are both grayscale also... an intricate panel in a manga about an artist..

Cat Brooks @batcrooks.bsky.social · Jan 17

So happy for you, it's an absolutely fantastic game and I hope it's a genre you might visit again in the future! Congratulations!!!
