The Anonymous Dragon

A mysterious creature that draws things. ^-^ (no reposting please <(^-^)> ) Likes interesting stories, videogames, shiny things, pretty pebbles, cake, animals, naps...and drawing! Somehow full of hyper-focused energy and too-zoned-out-to-exist energy at the same time. Please be kind. ^-^

'Jam jar'

You know, that's twice now I have drawn a 'Sassy Shadowheart lean' that I really like. Can I only draw poses if they are off balance? Edited to add shading on page 4. And the butter plate. Because someone forgot that.

'Familiar ship'

Warrior with slight anger issues/Traumatised half-elf cleric with slightly gothic eyeliner

Aylin was very difficult to draw. Well more so her armour. <(o_o)> Seriously, any tips on drawing armour would be greatly appreciated.

[anonymousdragon11]

'Duvet Hogger'

Wee disclaimer, I did trace half of Shadowheart's face in the first panel, then copied my own sketch for the other panels. Still working on side profiles becoming a bit more natural to draw.

Shadowzel have joined the club of those who have been squashed by a sleeping floof. <(^-^)> (Non-floofs, scales and feathers are also included.)

[anonymousdragon11]

'Meeting Lae'zel'

Paws down Lae'zel has the coolest intro. And impeccably strong knees. Mine would cease to exist if I tried that jump.

'Distracted by loot' - bonus comic! <(^-^)>

It's kind of funny that she says this regardless of if you actually did anything against the imps. x3 In Tal's defence there were a lot of shiny things to look at. And the ship will crash anyway sooooo might as well grab some goodies?

I'm not always the best at dialogue, I am trying to make it snappier (I have improved already, believe me xD) nor am I consistant with drawing my own main Tav but I'm lobbing this out into the void anyway.

'Lazy bat'

I know this jumps ahead a wee bit, but I wanted to post something today and all my other drafts are definitely too jumpy-aheady. so this fluffy lazy boy was the number one option.

Sometimes Tal feels this strange extra weight to her tail whilst adventuring. ¯\_<(._.)>_/¯ Gale and Lae'zel are not impressed.

I also know that posting comics in an order doesn't really mean anything on here. But, it's stupidly somewhat important to me. <(^-^)>

[anonymousdragon11]

'Shadowheart and her wine'

This is another very early piece I did... it's very cringey and a bit daft. So I'm not too up for posting it for those reasons. And I didn't really have a solid idea of how to draw drunk people so I looked up comic/anime references and wound up with this. But I figured maybe one singular Shadowzel fan might smile at it? :)

On the other paw I do like how the posing went for this one! <(^-^)> I like how SH being carried like luggage, SH being shoved towards Lae'zel and Lae'zel looking at her like 'eww' turned out. But I think the last page is my favourite. <(^-^)>

'The ugly goblin'

This turned out a wee bit ugly but ah well.

Side note, Emma Gregory does the best evil chuckle.

[anonymousdragon11]

'Merchant meet wizard' I know these two fellows do *not *share an actor, but Parris is so..... Gale, coded to me. Is it his mannerisms, his voice, his chattering? I'm not sure but something about him reminds me of Gale. (He could be a descendant of his. xD )

*And they were there for another 3 hours.

Also would very much recommend Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden if you like character driven stories and/or making choices that effect story and npc attitudes towards you. I gave it a try on a whim and was instantly drawn in by the two leads. <(^-^)>

'Meet Talliclynn' (more text under comics)

I think a rather appropriate reaction to the whole nautiloid, mindflayer, tadpole in eyeball situation. What's the start of an adventure without half a breakdown? :D I am so glad I remembered the swords. Let's see if I can keep remembering them. I did have to trace the outline of the nautiloid in panel 1 because where do you even begin to draw that mega evolution Omastar? (.-. )>

(edit: SPUDS. Typo: panic-*stricken* ~sigh~ (._. )> oh well.)

'Meeting Us' - bonus comic <(^-^)>

Next she met Us. The... jellybean with legs?

Panel 7 of page 1, the zoomed out shot with the lift, was the only other I had to trace. :) (I can't be the only one who hates nautiloid architecture, right?) I always worry whether what's going on is clear or not. <:/ So, hearing the odd voice from atop, Tal spots the lift looking thing and presses the button to send it up as a potential distraction for anything that's up there, as she climbs up the side.

I know 'deffo' is a bit on the cringey side but I forever have a mind block on how to spell definitely and don't want to keep using the same words. But... yeah this won't come up very much again. Unless she's chatting to Karlach maybe.

So, yeah! Things are clearly going well for wee Talliclynn! :D

I hope my little Tal is likeable. <(^-^)> If not, just scroll on by her. ^^ She won't mind. (also also sorry for blethering on too much down here. Verynervous in general.)

[anonymousdragon11]

'Xan's first cookie'

[anonymousdragon11]

'Missing strawberries'

Not sure why you're looking at him Shadowheart, he's clearly the picture of innocence! There's no handprints on the bowl or the table. Or jam all over his face and jumper.

[anonymousdragon11]

'Galarian Ivysaur'

I do like to confuse myself by not knowing whether to put this in my 'regional variants' folder or my 'poke fusions' folder. x) I was playing with that fusion generator a few years ago and it came up with this funny little fellow. <(^-^)> His expression always cracks me up. It's the ultimate "HMMMMMMM *S'PICIOUS*!!" Deffo should have made the shading look different from their splodges but ah well, they can have varying patterns.

[anonymousdragon11]

'Fluffstarion'

Okaaay, who attacked him with a party balloon?? Come on, tell me who it was.

I can only apologise, for now realising he's rather Furby shaped...

[anonymousdragon11]

'Flying Hatchling'

Wee Xan is a bit older here, about 1 and a bit years old? Another earlier piece I did. <(^-^)> Shadowheart has fixed up more of the garden and Lae'zel has witnessed some other parents tossing their infants into the air, so tried it with Xan. Turns out he likes it too, little man got some altitude there! ...why do many tiny humanoids enjoying being lobbed into the sky?

(I have looked up fantasy clothes references and tried to make up some things that fit. But clothes and armour are still really difficult so some look a bit more like this basic onesie. Like the dinosaur blanket, these patterns are embroidered maybe? That fits a little more I think, right?)

[anonymousdragon11]

'Baby hatchling meets dragon'

Now I've finally finished the comic of Xan hatching, I can post other ones!

Not sure what happened with Lae'zel's hair here. It was supposed to be kind of swooshy but it went a bit skew-whiff. Apologies. <(^-^)>

[anonymousdragon11]

'Galarian Dragalge'

Highly missed opportunity in the Galar region to make this guy a floating set of bagpipes covered in seaweed variant! <(^-^)>

(Disclaimer - I'm not a big stats/ability/strategy type dragon. So I have no clue at all if something is over powered or not.)

[anonymousdragon11]

'Shadowheart's day with baby Xan'

I think I'm kind of using baby/hatchling interchangeably.
