Do you think dragons ever get confused by beastclan eye colors?

"Oh no, the power went out!"

"So? Can't you just zap the lights back on with your magic?"

"...My what?"

"Your magic. Aren't you a Lightning centaur?"

"What? No. First of all, I'm from the Scarred Wasteland. Second of all, that's not a thing."

"But?? But your eyes?? They're blue???"

how we feeling now that we got more cow familiars?

Scorch is very happy about having a reliable source of milk to use in his baking! ^^

Just don't ask him where he was getting the milk from before

[st0rmy-fr]

technically you can milk any mammal, though we use cows cause they're herbivores, herd animals, can be put in a pen, and also are big

anyway alternative milk animals:

Hippogriffs, I mean the back half is the horse so it presumably has milk?

Bell Goat, they do appear to just be weird goats, maybe a tad small

Warhorse/Battlemare, they're horses in armor

Avreep, more goats!

[tinygryphon-58570]

He was just using sheep/goat milk before, yeah, I was just being silly xD

#the only canon source of “dairy” we have #is the butter from buttersnakes

I can't believe I forgot all about the butterflies! I fixed this for you real quick xD

I’ve been working on a few commissions lately! I’m currently moving onto rendering this one soon.

Fight! Fight! (PSA)

Warrior's Way is tomorrow! If you have a dragon on the AH you DO NOT WANT EXALTED, get it outta there before you forget! Safest place for your dragon is your own lair. Exalts get crazy during the holiday so inherently assume all dragons are high risk. o7

attack for snowdroprd on artfight!

process and talkies under the cut

lately i've been challenging myself with rendering full scenes because i've never really been one to finish art like this. im pretty pleased with the contrast in the scene! when i finished my first pass of rendering and changed it to grayscale, the canvas looked like this:

fairly clear, but definitely some room to exaggerate values. squinting i can't really make out the form. so I went in with good old #FFFFFF and #000000 to bring the subject to the foreground:

and after going through with some additional tweaks (dodge and burn layers plus shimmying the contrast and lightness around), the final piece in grayscale looks like this:

certainly not perfect but an improvement to the composition yipeepee

i also used a blur + color dodge dupe layer for the lineart, slight blur on the bg and distant parts of the subject (couldn't help myself), and an overlay to give the shadows some nice hues yayyy
