It's that time of year again :) Going with a more relaxed prompt list for 2026. Feels more doable than having to hit a drawing every day. Even if with the comic in my lap, I hope to do some of these.

Greyson ref :) Still working out how exactly his part of the story will go, but this is Dar's adopted little brother. He had a bit of a rough start in life and is pretty reserved and skittish as a result, although living with Dar is slowly bringing him out of his shell. He likes to draw, listen to music, and make up stories. He thinks it's deeply unfair that magic exists but dragons don't.

#my art #the OG story project thing #original character #winged human #atm his arc is angst bait with a happy ending #but i'm such a softie that angst might be a strong word lol #Greyson used to look like a mini Dar but i decided that's boring #now he gets tricolor hair :)#I should make a post about Hapabryn hair/eyes/wing markings soon

when someone dislikes an acclaimed movie i love: you just enjoy being a contrarian

when i dislike an acclaimed movie: i'm the only one who can see the truth

Coolest duo on the block alert. I've already talked about them a bunch on other posts so I'll hold myself back lol. Still trying to get the hang of Vinyan's hair, still using Rhia as my prime muse for cool wing poses <3

#my art #original character #the OG story project thing #that's the end of my backlog but i have a couple more characters to draw #once my bones stop hurting ;-;#pro tip kids stretch and take walks and sleep

[dismp] what do you want from the end?

i have fairly simple ambitions

#hey yo I really love this drawing #you captured some kind of feeling here

The unwilling antagonist duo in book one, whom I love. Not sure I've talked about Dean before? She's basically desperate for recognition and low on impulse control. Vali, for his part, wants to be anywhere but here. Famine is the only happy camper lol

#my art #original character #the OG story project thing #It's actually so much easier to write their chapters than the protagonist's atm lmao #their dynamic is endlessly fun #Dean “I always wanted a cool big brother” Spike vs.#Vali “Just let me do my job” Mikelo

Leif and Melanie :] They don't actually interact a ton in the story but I'm grouping them together because they're both very smart and rly nerdy about magic in particular. Both of them have invented their own techniques and stuff. And both of them are ruled by fear :)

#my art #original character #the OG story project thing #Melanie's arc is (as always) getting a rework #but this time it's for real trust #Leif's weapon is also a WIP but a sword just didn't feel fitting for midair combat

Celebrating summer break with the duo!!!!!!!! Trying to get used to drawing more fullbody poses and also compiling some drawings I made months ago

#my art #original character #the OG story project thing #they truly genuinely bring me so much joy ugh UGH we grew up together #they always give me summer vibes #expect more art from this project tomorrow

Sigh.

One of the things that breaks my heart on this site is the tendency for new writers to survey their mutuals: “I have the urge to write this story, if I did would you guys read it?”

I’m an old with long-ignored rejection sensitivity issues. I’ve lived a long life forcing myself to find a glimmer of joy in the things I was good at to avoid failure (or some kind of flavor of this, I’m still trying to work it out). I know it’s scary to put your whole soul in the form of art out into the world. Honestly, if I had known how bad my rejection sensitivity was BEFORE I started writing and publishing, I likely would have never done it. Denial, my old friend, ironically served me well in this regard.

BUT.

Don’t put your art’s merit out for survey like that. Don’t ask people if they’d read it. Because, honestly, most will say yes and just not. Because life and a million others reasons that get in the way and the fact that people love to be supportive but also don’t always have the time to do the actual supporting. And then there’s the fact that these are strangers on the internet.

Share your art because you made it. Share your art because you were moved to create something from nothing. Share your art to immortalize the inner workings of your heart and soul. Don’t share your art because people said they would read it.

I understand wanting people to read and love your work. Every artist does. Just don’t start out asking for that reassurance. Be sure and reap joy from the reception you do get, don’t be unsure and tether the worth of the work to other people’s intentions to engage with it.

#hands clasped begging every creative to stop publically advertizing their own self-doubt and fear of rejection #saying this with SO MUCH love #on the world stage nobody is looking at you. Yet. And thats a good thing. Thats an opportunity.#MAKE WHAT YOU LOVE AND HAVE FUN AND BE LOUD IN YOUR CORNER ABOUT IT <333

My take on D&D Aarakocra ft. my two ocs :] They walk like dinosaurs because anthropomorphized bird legs are ragebait and I like this better

Update! Their beautiful children <3

#my art #original character #dnd character #they may choose to change their names when they grow up #and their parents are okay with that #Atlask is named after Vazyl's best friend and Defiance Mayhem will do great things one day #Eep is Eep #also they are different ages bc I think Aarakocra should have one egg per clutch like many large birds

lmaonade

there is always some fucking laundry and dust and some other shit

god it’s so sad living in an allocentric world. There are so many relationships that are so complex and nuanced that are all put under the label of ‘romantic’ and immediately all the intrigue is taken from it. Like don’t you realize that these relations are actually ENHANCED by the fact that they are not romantic or sexual?

astronomical-bagel

NOOO DONT PUT THE CHARACTERS IN A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP YOURE TAKING OFF THE SEASONING!!!!

"I would do anything for you; I would cross worlds for you; I would kill for you; I would die for you" etc in fictional romance= tired and expected

from a boss to their employee= what the fuck is happening there

My take on D&D Aarakocra ft. my two ocs :] They walk like dinosaurs because anthropomorphized bird legs are ragebait and I like this better

#my art #original character #dnd character #Vazyl is a street kid turned war cleric and Eera is a ranger who fought a dragon and won #Eera was impressed by Vazyl's passionate hatred of the government #and the restaurant his friends helped him build specifically to impress her #the irs sent an army to condemn the restaurant halfway through the date and she was delighted to fight a second dragon!#date successful #my entire party showed up to their wedding lol
