Might try this soon

Here is my 2024 #SMAUGUST prompt list!

31 Days of drawing, writing, crafting, celebrating DRAGONS! 🐲

Feel free to use and share. Also you can join my Discord where we have a special channel to share any Smaugust creations.

Princess Orca of the SeaWings, having grown tired of Mother, Whirlpool, and the stress of being heir to the throne, formulates a plan to escape:

An enchanted mirage, appearing and acting exactly like the real Princess, programmed to challenge Queen Coral for the throne- and make a spectacle out of it. A spell on Coral's narwhal spear, guaranteed to "kill" the Doppelganger in a challenge.

Orca fled and assumed a new, (enchanted?) identity somewhere else. To this day she has no idea how far her clone took its goals, or that her appearance and personality wasn't the only thing the husk of her's got.

Silkwing window art!

Quite crooked, I had to get used to the tubes, the outline often comes in lumps, but I have more or less adapted, so the next stained glass will be much neater))

It looks best on the window, because it is translucent, and the outline is visible. Without backlighting, my crooked fill is visible)))

It also glows in the Ultraviolet!

The next window art will be much more accurate, it will be an Icewing!

You also can do such by yourself, you can use my stained glass lines from HERE, I just put printed line in document bag (i guess it is called like this on eng) and drew with the window paints on it.

Gah! I. Must. Fight. The. Art. Block!

Anyways this is my ice/rain wing hybrid. I like the idea of her true feelings/colors being obscured by her icelike scales, but still visible.

She swims too. Just in case you thought you were safe.

No name yet. I'm bad at names.

A dragon sketch I did to experiment with colors/shading. Like the facial expression

Shoulda punched a lot more kids in highschool

remembers all the times i was an autistic kid when i should have Killed them

The first test for our WLED board codename "Sparkle Motion" 🌈💖💡 … 🐇⏳🌌

We got our WLED-friend PCBs today, and we only made one mistake: the wrong resistor on the 3.3V feedback line. Now that it's fixed, the board seems to work great with the latest version of WLED

We are checking all 4 signal outputs with this handy 256-LED grid that sits on our desk. Next, we will test the onboard IR receiver, USB PD, I2S microphone, extra I/O pins, and I2C. We'll also do an Arduino IDE board definition in case folks want to use it as a generic ESP32-to-LED-driver board. We're calling the board "Sparkle Motion" for now, but if you have other naming ideas, let us know - if we pick your name, you get a free board

Coming soon! We're designing a board for using WLED - and we want to make like the bestest board in the wholeworld. Our resident me

Wing armor!

I tried keep the armor fairly minimal to avoid adding too much weight to the wings. People have suggested covering the wing with chainmail, but i feel like the weight from that would render flight impossible or at the very least difficult. This configuration protects the most likely place to be struck by a weapon, those being the front outer edges of the wing. I’d imagine the armor can also be used sort of like a shield that can block incoming slash and such!

I love the expressions on these guys. The faces look so squishy and cool

Next up in the requests: @threemoonwatchers suggested Fathom and @incorporeal-entity suggested Clearsight, so I decided to draw them together! This is one of my favorite scenes of them, where they meet for the first time and Clearsight is overjoyed to see Fathom. She’s seen him in countless visions and already feels like they’re best friends, and while Fathom hasn’t met Clearsight until now, I imagine he’s so, so happy to meet someone who has faith and trust in him after a lifetime being shunned by his tribe. They both got happy endings, but it hurts my heart to know they probably never saw each other again after the events of Darkstalker.

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
