it is a mystery if it were in a minor key rather than major key

I feel like this is what happens when you’re in the mid-1800s in London and invited into the country to read the will of your great uncle Thomas with friends and relatives you didn’t know about and when you arrive, there’s a big ass thunderstorm, so no one can leave and the lights flicker, the organ by the windy stares plays by itself and cousin carter ends up impaled on a candlestick and you gotta figure out whodunit.

I mean

That WOULD be a mystery

I attempted! Sorry the positioning etc is hideous - i’m bad at that kind of thing. Hope this gives some insight, if it doesn’t then… i’m sorry. D:

Okay, finally getting around to those art questions (sorry for the wait!).  Keep in mind, my word is not absolute - being an artist is a constant state of learning, and that applies to me too!  But I’m happy to share my thoughts, and link to other resources if I think they may be helpful :)

The first question is about dragons:

When drawing dragons, I usually start with a blocky wedge shape as the basis of the head.  This helps with visualizing the head in perspective.

(I’ve seen other artists use different shapes for this - it comes down to personal preference, really.)

Altering the initial shape of wedge and the placement of the facial features within it can help you create different head shapes for your dragons:

One of the tricky things about the ¾ view in particular is trying to keep the face symmetrical as the head turns.  This is one of the reasons I find the wedge helpful as a guideline. In the example below, this dragon’s eye falls halfway between the front and back of the box in the sideview.  Drawing a halfway line on the box in perspective helps place the eyes in the ¾ view.

I hope this was helpful to you!

@fyrfae Do you like chocolate?

More or less, yes.  Why do you ask?

the unseelie court aesthetic

consists of the darkly-inclined fairies. unlike the Seelie Court, no offense is necessary to bring down their assaults. as a group (or “host”), they appear at night and assault travelers, often carrying them through the air, beating them, and forcing them to commit such acts as shooting at cattle. like the beings of the Seelie Court who are not always benevolent, neither are the fairies of the Unseelie Court always malevolent. most Unseelies can become fond of a particular human if they are viewed as respectful, and would choose to make them something of a pet.
