(late post moment lmao) HERE SHE ISSSSSSSSSSSSSS, SO HAPPY WITH HOW THIS TURNED OUT
This is stargazerkittycat's dinosaur sona, Stargazer!! I absolutely love her design, and her colors gave me the opportunity to do something fun and make one side of her light and the other side dark, and I'm SO PROUD OF ITTT WEEEEEEEEEEEE I haven't drawn a dinosaur since I was like 8 years old so I was going completely off the dome for the posing. I tried to reference a 3D model of Blue from Jurassic World but it didn't help very much.

originally inspired by this art, this is a little basic compared to my other recent work but I was on a tight schedule so its aight
(late post moment pt2)
Here she isssss, I love Riptor sm she's so scrungly and sillyyy, I went through an absolute journey with this, which is why I included my practice sketches as a show of how frustrated I got. I kinda had to relearn how to draw dinosaurs, which is gonna serve me well in the future, but absolutely did not serve me well in this moment.
I had probably 2 or 3 moments where I said "fuck it, I'm doing something else" and I'm really glad I stuck it through because I'M SO PROUD OF THISSS WEEEEEEE, it left me pretty mentally exhausted because of a bunch of other outside factors.
I also tried something that I've never really done before, which is a digital background, it looks really bad in some places if you look hard enough (like her teeth in the middle one, jesus christ) but overall I think it turned out alright, it opened the opportunity for quicker background work without sacrificing too much quality. I might add a background to the physical drawing in the future if I ever get the time. This thing absolutely overloaded my brain so I would prefer to not look at it for a very long time

Behold, Lyney from Genshin Impact (he is the hottest character in the game btw) if he decided to take up goth fashion. I got this idea from me and my cousin talking about how he could pull off a Lyney cosplay, and how I absolutely couldn't, but if Lyney had a dark mode I could probably pull that off. I definitely still couldn't, but that did culminate in this little guy.
I tried to get this out last month on my cousin's birthday, but his birthday also just so happened to be my first day at my new job, so the stars didn't exactly align on that one

Damn move your ass I'm tryna read the caption bro damn
I've learned two things this month. One is that I think I really like drawing dinosaurs, and two is that I think I really don't like drawing robots. I chose to not draw her wings because they just took up too much space, and also were way too fuckin complicated for how frustrated I already was.
this is actually amazing like wtf
Starting off the new year with I think the most background heavy piece I've ever made! I think Rainwings and Nightwings would celebrate their traditional holidays together after the events of The brightest night. So this drawing is meant to show their cultures kind of blending together during a very joyful time. I remember talking about this concept with someone on tumblr a year ago but when I went back through my posts I couldn't for the life of me find it - so if your reading this, I remember you and this drawing stems from that conversation so thank you!

This took so long to finish because I was juggling it with a 9-5, and THEN I fucked up my wrist at said 9-5 so I didn't draw for a whole day and it made me sad. It was all worth it in the end though because I'm really happy with this, especially the pose work. The 2 days worth of practice I did last year is really paying off
I have no idea how to show this to the person I made it for, as far as I'm aware they don't have a DA or a Tumblr so I'm shit out of luck I think
Let me guide you

Please don’t let this flop I’m so proud of this drawing

I wasn't a huge fan of Winter's character up until I reread book 7, I always thought he was an absolute insufferable prick for really stupid reasons, but looking back he has a completely justifiable reason for his hatred of NightWings outside of his IceWing culture
I so desperately want more of Hailstorm, even just a Winglet book of his life back in the Ice Palace exploring his identity crisis and choosing between the life that was forced upon him versus the life where he was truly happy and had real friends would be incredible. There's a Hailstorm/Pyrite MAP on YouTube called Once Upon a December and its SO WELL MADE AND I LOVE IT SO FRICKIN MUCH and its pretty much exactly what I wanna see from a Hailstorm POV book and here's a link to it just watch it - https://youtu.be/_duSPWJzxVk
This project was pretty straightforward; I didn't wanna do a super crazy background like my Moon fanart, so I just went with the aurora borealis and some delicious rim lighting (the aurora can go fuck itself for being so hard to draw traditionally, it kinda looks like shit ikik). I feel like I'm getting a better grasp on how to do color and pick good looking color schemes. Before I would only do complimentary and try to do as much contrast as possible, but I've learned that analogous color schemes look SOOOO GOOD and I can't believe I've done so few projects where I go for harmony instead of contrast
I also feel like I'm getting better at dragon poses and making them more dynamic, this pose isn't super crazy or anything but the head angle with the turning neck isn't something I've really done before, and I think I did pretty good
The 2nd character in the batch of descriptions I generated, Fluorence! :D Named that because all his jewelry is fluorescent and glows in the dark. I'm really happy with how he turned out, I love him sm <3 Definitely my favorite of the characters I did for this
Here's his description, his was much more straightforward than the last one, everything about him just screamed "SEXY BUFF DEMON MAN" and that's exactly what I made :) Here are some details about him:
Fluorence is an ageless demon from hell
He works as an event planner and takes his job incredibly seriously
He has a very uptight and strict attitude when he's working, but once he lets loose, he knows how to fuckin' PARTY
He is 4'4" tall (SHORT KING GANGGGGG)
He can bench 2,000 lbs
He is happily married
He can open portals using the tattoo on his wrist, which is how he got out of hell
He is physically incapable of getting drunk
He loves slow jazz
He despises country (same oml)
He is a closeted bottom
