My adoptable shop is open again!

At long last, I have finished the NEW SKYDANCER BASE!! WOO-HOO! So I’m reopening my shop, 4 slots available! A link to the shop in a reblog! Also, I would highly appreciate if peeps could reblog this/spread the word, big thanks!

Here’s two examples of what the finished SD adopts will look like:

everyone needs a Retiarius dragon

also, the concept of dragons using handheld weapons is unspeakably hilarious to me

A simple opal tutorial for a style of drawing opal that more closely resembles the site art, compared to how I used to draw it!

1: Line the shape. Opal is often very geometric, and the lineart tends to be thicker around the angles. At some point it may even form a sharp point.

2: Flat colour. Simply fill the area with your base colour. Don’t make it too dark, or else the shapes within opal will be harder to see, and don’t make it too light or else the highlights won’t stand out.

3: Gradient. Shift along the colour wheel, or if following directly from site art, colourpick for both this step and step 2. Use a gradient tool, or just blend it out.

4: Create shapes. With a multiply layer, fill in the entire area. Then, erase blocky geometric shapes. The corners should be fairly sharp, but can be rounded out somewhat. Lower the opacity until you’re happy with it. I went with 50%, but you might want to go even lower. I usually use a desaturated purple for this layer.

5: Highlights. On a shine layer (or whatever your program’s equivalent is) create an edge light long the rim of opal, in whichever direction you want your final lighting to be coming from if/when you shade the piece. A few thick bands that are slightly narrower in the center also create a nice sharp highlight, that gives opal it’s glassy look. Then, a few small dots to create some interest. If needed, lower the opacity. The actual colour of this layer is really up to you!

6: Colour the lines. For extra depth, colour the lineart! I usually pick the darkest section within opal, sliiightly darken it further in my colour wheel and hue shift to a cooler tone. Then lock your lineart and colour it in!

I will buy and keep my first male snap if tropical punch wins. Shit I might even buy it if it doesn’t bc I NEED that shitty tourist dad aesthetic for the Beach

i couldnt stop thinking about a reality where the retired festival items were like “designer” or something on sornieth and everyone was trying to get their hands on them, so sellers on the dragon equivalent of wish make these cheap knockoffs that barely resemble what was in the picture
