Love Your Art! What's Your Shading Process / Any Tips? I Really Like How Vibrant It Is

Almost didn't post this as it's just a WIP, but I'm not sure if I'll actually finish this and I like the body segments.

IceWings have a different body shape compared to NightWings. Hard

Lamb animation test !! (: with sound version

I really just love dragon culture. Very little is confirmed so just about anything can be written, drawn, or said and it's always so creative!

I love how the wings interlock with each other and how their little feet plod around in the dirt. Despite being a still image you can easily imagine the movement and patterns of their dance.

Someday I want to make an animatic of dragons dancing and I'll definitely try to incorporate wing holding into the steps.

The first time she's ever gotten to dance

Sunset in the bkg was actually a picture I took (edited obv)

I'll accept this into my head cannon

hypothetical pyrrhian beetlewing, a key ancestor to all pantalan tribes, with hivewings being their closest living relatives.

a burrowing tribe, based on ants and termites with strong front talons with tough blunt claws, known for carving entire mountains into castles. Some have a stinger with while not deadly, very painful poison

terretorial range unknown, but their tunnels seemingly undermine the entire continent.

they ususally come in dark shades of brown, grey and black, and shimmer green or purple in the sunlight, sometimes a faint striped pattern is visible

last known queen: queen jade, accompanied by her sister lady agate

I still can't get over how good this looks. All my attempts to replicate this blocky style have failed. I'm in shambles.

Hailstorm!! Because I love him so much and it's about time I do a fullbody design for him. His big brother vibes are the greatest <3

Despite being an IceWing, I think he'd wear a big coat to look cool. Also, I gave him some red spots from Pyrite (he'd only have these after getting transformed back).

Bonus sketch of Hailstorm and Winter as little kids:

university is like a video game. you can pick up sidequests. Youre gonna neglect the main storyline. youre gonna end up in a guild of sorts. i just looted a bush on campus and found a sticker

Little toad guy! Rescued a toad from my grandma's pool. Thought it's colors were pretty and drew this guy.

Sometimes I am a little unsure of my drawings. I want them to be the best I've ever drawn, but my skills aren't usually up for the task. This little guy is a reminder for myself that my art doesn't have to be amazing, it just has to be fun. And I did have fun.

i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.

so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.

i love ppl who talk in the tags bc it satisfies my deep desire to know ppl’s opinions on everything without needing to have a conversation with them and ask. even better when it’s a side tangent that barely has anything to do with the post, or a personal anecdote, or a joke. tag talker mutuals you’re my favorite. tag talkers rise up
