Hello what’s up, I'm August, he or she pronouns are fine, I draw OC's and make stories :) I really like dragons if you couldn't tell

[august-is-a-dragon]

Hello, greetings, welcome, hi, [other similar words],

I am August, I draw and/or write sometimes, I also frequently get obsessed with different types of media (right now it’s hadestown, realm of the elderlings, grishaverse, TMA, etc.)but I’m told that’s normal on this website.

I have a list of 40+ OC’s in my notes app that I only ever post about once and never again, I procrastinate recreationally and I don’t ever (or like rarely) make fan content but thoroughly enjoy that which already exists.

-All my storiessss (and their tags) -

#story: space pita - Space fantasy pirates doing fun stuff. Kinda classic DND vibes, there’s dragons, fun magic, (half-)sentient spaceships, space gods, and overall just a good time.

#story: alt7 - Basically an AU (ish) of the Percy Jackson universe, but with more obscure gods (and possibly more body horror, but I won’t say for sure). If giant bird men, gun-wielding prophets with eye motifs, self-isolating star girls with giant whales, time-travelling lighthouses with too many cute romantic things happening in them, snake motif having mischievous trans boys or sarcastic mute living weapons ar your vibe, come check this out! Some less relevant ones that I do have posts about still:

#story: whistle avians - two silly little guys travel across floating fantasy islands in order to find one’s family, the cure to a mysterious illness and to maybe wake up some ancient gods in the process.

#story: the afflicted - There are dragons, and if you eat their meat, you (more often than not) get sick (afflicted). Kinda depressing I think but it’s about ignoring internalised hate and like. Just because you made bad choices doesn’t mean you matter less as a person. Also silly hijinks but that’s all of my stories actually. there is also the #miscellaneous stuff that is not relevant ever tag for art or like a one-off not serious story idea maybe.

(My art tag is #augusts art btw)

What else do people put in intro posts? I’m really cool and funny I promise I have friends

oh yeah my artfight is creatureschaos I realised that’s relevant (there’s more oc lore there)

UPDATE I'VE DONE TESTING AND I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT :D (edit I was wrong here!! it's a mod/toggle!!)

So what I'm pretty sure grian has is *something* (eg pumpkin) that has the texture of BOTH a non enchanted netherite helmet and his cool eyes.

He has then enchanted that eg pumpkin and so swapping between a regular enchanted netherite helmet and his helmet+eyes gives the effect without anything noticeable being put on his head

also I went into Minecraft and checked, yep enchantment glint carries over no matter what headgear you switch to (linked here cause tumblr doesn't like videos in reblogs)

in his next vid hes gonna do it without the helmet and screw this all over

[schrodingers-catgender]

shout out intersex people! sorry the (binary) trans community keeps ignoring and invalidating y'all in their pointless discourse. i care all of you <3

[fangirlinginleatherboots]

just so yall know

art block is your brain telling you to do studies.

draw a still life. practice some poses. sketch some naked people. do a color study. try out a different technique on a basic shape.

art block doesnt stop you from drawing, it stops you from making your drawings look the way you want them to. and thats because you need to push your skills to the next level so you can preform at that standard

think of it as level grinding for your next work.

[gallusrostromegalus]

As a scientific illustrator- this is 100% true and going to review your basics will fix it every goddamn time.  Not only does it keep your skills sharp, when you’re not emotionally invested in the final product of a piece, you relax and your brain makes more/better art juice for you.  So, when you get back to that big/important piece?  You’ll know what to do and how to do it.

Nothing in nature blooms all year round.  Rest, and take care of yourself.

[strawbebbynya]

i want someone to put this into writer’s blocks now

[404computerhamstersnotfound]

Writer’s block means you need to relearn the whole alphabet. idiot.

[redwingedwhump]

For writers block- same thing. Do Studies.

Write a description of an object. write the weather today. Write a made up characterization of a random photo of an actor from the internet as to the character they are in that picture. Write a little story about your pet’s day. Write about spilling soup and make it super dramatic and tragic. Write about someone’s day being ruined and make it funny. Write a meetcute coffeeshop AU of two OCs you’d never put together- maybe from different stories. Write them breaking up.

Write a bunch of short stuff meant for no audience ever and super duper self indulgent.

I found out relatively recently that it really helps if I write short fiction surrounding the novels I write. Like oh? I’m stuck for a bit? Ooh there was that section I wanted to explore but doesn’t fit in the plot really. There was that what-if that could never happen in the actual story but would be fun to explore. It keeps me in the characters’ headspace (tho that’s not always what I’m needing) but not right where they are exactly.

[winterinhimring]

Yes! I have gotten past writers’ block multiple times by writing drabble collections. Making something coherent happen in just 100 words is a very different challenge from writing a long story and it also lets me get past plot points that I don’t want to explore in-depth.

I am also going to have to start drawing studies now…

[ineffectualdemon]

I joined a writing group that used journalling prompts to get through a bad case of writers block and it really helped

REMAKE OF REIMAGINED WINGS OF FIRE - PART 3

I brought you the rest of the Pyrrhian tribes!

Here's some lore dump (correct me for grammar mistakes)

And some characters (ignore the last one I put zero effort into it + was drawn right after I switched to tablet)

Part 1 | Part 2

[ganseysmagiciansz]

im not built for assignments i should be out there in the world searching for a dead welsh king and having complicated codependent friendships

[blueisconfused]

i know we’ve already talked about how wylan and kaz are character foils for a multitude of reasons, but have we considered: kaz and wylan both mimicking human behaviors and coming off as unsettling because they’re able to pull it off really well.

both of them have an otherworldly kind of presence that’s just off enough to feel but not enough to really pin down. kaz appears in rooms without warning. wylan stares at people for too long. both of them remember details about others that they shouldn’t. for different reasons, but the underlying discomfort remains the same. give me unsettling wylan to go with unsettling kaz. let them be creepy together. i beg you.

[august-is-a-dragon]

i’m making things and progress
