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.

what if darkstalker were green (perhaps by eating a greenberry or accidentally falling into a vat of green) and became greenstalker (short for green darkstalker).

my concept art. this is what he may look like.

Reblog this to spread the word, I'm tired of the enshittification of the things I use in my day to day life.

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.

The main fear of Darkstalker

people at the grocery store sometimes do a visible double-take about how many vegetables I'm buying. they look at me probably thinking wow she's so healthy! it's ok that she's also buying donuts! she's earned them!

you fools. all the produce is for my pet pig. I'm eating donuts for dinner.

Cult of the lamb sketch I've been working on. Considering making a comic however my computer is broken, so I can only use my pencil.

I'm not good at making both sides look the same so I only draw on one side, and when I want to make it digital I can use the mirror feature.

Got a lil sketchy near the end around the cat skull as I was being attacked by a stupid baby

Very silly

hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

The quality on tumblr is fucking sick, heres another drawing i did for a dtiys on insta, its also a scene from the WOF novel (wings of fire)

I don't really have strong feelings about Frostscales, however I do think they would be cool.

We can reason a way for dragons to breathe fire. Whether it be flammable gasses or liquids produced by the dragons. But frost breath itself is much harder to rationalize as it would take a pretty strong endothermic reaction to happen. In my eyes it's the closest thing to magic a non Animus can have, so rather than being a genetic abnormality it feels more like magic gone wrong or a curse.

I also think that freezing solid and having your fingers crack off is scarier than just having them burn. It feels more final to have a limb simply be gone rather than be burnt and chared.

Firescales and Frostscales both embody the horror of never being able to touch your loved ones without hurting them, of being helpless to control your own body, of being shunned from your tribe and unable to form the same connections with them as your siblings can.

I find them both interesting, the only downside I can think of is that both Firescales and Frostscales tell the same story. The only difference being that Frostscales is for icewing's and Firescales being for Skywings.

Idk these are my unsorted thoughts, I would love to hear yours.

I don't like frostscales much as a concept. I think it's kinda boring ngl. I do wanna know if other people like it, and why or why not?

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

Gill with and without water

Forcing myself to draw the entire body rather than limiting myself to headshots. Still haven’t worked my way to drawing wings, however.

Revisited my concept for King Gill and fleshed it out a bit, both his hydrated and dehydrated states. His appearance was primarily inspired by Mufasa (I even referenced one of his poses) and a little bit of King Triton with the goal of making him look kingly and paternal. As I’ve mentioned previously, I like to give SeaWings (and all the wings really) facial hair when I think it fits the character. I also have him a gill patch, which my Orca design inherited,

While in the arena, he loses most of his ‘beard’ and sail as it dries up and shrivels. He’s also very underweight, and the lack of water has given him a shrink wrapped appearance, emphasizing his bones and musculature. He has sores and scratches from where he’s been chained around the neck and ankles. He’s completely feral, almost zombie-like. He’s just overall gross and crusty.

Bonus Coral cause I also redid her sketch. Gave her much more simplified jewelry inspired by Ponyo’s mother.

I swear I am not obsessed with those two

Some doodles I made in class

PLEASE do yourself a favour and check out this wikipedia-styled template for google drive, made by @ Rukidut on twitter

Also; link directly to the doc, just copy the file and you have your own lil template!!!!

I like this

DUUUDDEEE your art is insane!! I ADORE the scales you draw and render, and how you make so much of your illustrations look like real work staff from WoF would make! Do you have any tips for scales? Rendering? Drawing them :0?

thank you so much!! for scales, i'd recommend avoiding circle shapes and instead go for a more angular hexagonal shape! it reduces weird gaps in between the scales and makes the texture look a lot more tight-knit and interconnected

as for rendering, i think my best tip would be to start with shadows first. make a shadow layer, fill it in entirely with the base color for the shadows, and carve out the light source by erasing parts of the shadow layer. I've been trying out a new method of rendering which takes a lot less time but gives the same if not better results (using a color layer on multiply above a greyscale render layer with a color overlay to add color to the shadows! i'll go more in depth with this once i have a finished example piece to break down)

and i usually render scales by filling in each individual scale above the lineart to create an alpha mask and i use a clipping group using the mask

scale mask (normal layer mode, 100% opacity)

set to "color dodge" at 40% opacity, additional "shadow" layer (black color layer set to "erase" above the layers in the clipping group) used to create depth!

I really like both your pencil art and your digital art. I've always struggled with dragon necks, how do you determine the thickness of the neck from different perspectives?

Well, I draw automatically, and I don't pay attention to it, because I've been drawing for many years, but in general it's individual. As a standard, I draw dragons with a neck of the same thickness, sometimes I slightly thicken it towards the body, but for earthen dragons, for example, I make the neck thicker, but the principle is the same. Well, everything depends on the shape of the dragon, because, for example, it can be wide on one side, as shown below, and this will only be visible from a certain angle, at a certain turn.

If there are problems with the construction, then you can use cylinders or ellipses in the sketch, turned in the right direction of the neck. In addition, this can make it easier to draw shadows (second picture)
