"The dragonet looked up, up, up at her mother's head and wings towering over her. She squeaked once, softly, and then stood up and shook herself, unfurling her own small wings.
Secretkeeper stared at her in awe. She was perfect, perfect in every way. Her scales gleamed as though they'd been polished; her claws were miniature curved crescents; her tail was the most perfect tail Secretkeeper had ever seen. She already looked healthier than every NightWing Secretkeeper knew, and that was enough--that was exactly why Secretkeeper had risked so much."

(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.
Some glory art!! I really struggled finding the right shade for the lighting, but I think it turned out okay!

This character is still nameless and that makes me sad
WHO AM I (Hailstorm/Pyrite)
Not happy with this one :C
This one was an absolute mess pretty much all the way through and I kinda hate how it turned out. I was gonna do shading but I wanted to start something else instead of trying to fix something I wasn't having fun with
The flames were supposed to spell out "WHO AM I" and in my head I was like YEAH I'LL BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY SEE THE LETTERS ONCE I COLOR IT and that didn't turn out to well. I learned something at least so I'd still call it a win in my book
I'll definitely redo this one at some point and actually make something cohesive that doesn't hurt my brain to look at
Whiteout probably has my favorite design of the whole series

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

More Moonwatcher fanart :D Before the Storm by Rameses B kept playing in my head as I was drawing this
