with how my brain is it's very easy for me to fixate on an idea or thought and not be able to get it out of my head, and today that thought was remembering and trying to pin down a dragon art site from the early- to mid-2000s that I remember following religiously.

it was someone's personal website, maybe a married couple; it was not neondragonart because I'm pretty sure that I found her much later (I found her art through that first book that came out in 2007, and I remember being on this blog around, like... 2004.)

I remember there being artwork (maybe portraits, definitely full body drawings) of many many many original characters; sometimes solo, sometimes paired up. the designs were simple, like an almost all-black dragon with silver horns, face fins, and wing membranes, or a red dragon with yellow wing membranes, etc. I want to say that the art wasn't very complex either; think "scale pattern brush with airbrush highlights+shadows". the faces were usually a little blocky and rounded in the snout, not long and pointy. there maybe was a page that had all of the characters listed, and then each character had their own page with all of their art.

I also remember reading original stories on the site, though they weren't very long. I think the art posts would usually have some kind of short fiction included. I feel like there was also a page of the site that was a little online shop, and maybe they had custom-painted windstone editions dragons in it? hard to say on that part though. I think they did have clay figurines of some sort.

if this rings a bell to anyone else, please reach out because I would love to track this down
