I do art and writing and junk

[justadragonnerd]

Howdy there, internet!

You can call me JustADragonNerd, DragonNerd, or JADN and my pronouns are they/them.

[justadragonnerd]

Howdy!

This is my redesign of Wu&Wei for my tnr rewrite.

[justadragonnerd]

Howdy!

I have seen the results of the poll for Ghost and Bolt, and although I do appreciate that you guys love Ghost like I do, I am going to use Bolt for Tom's dragon. For reasons I'm about to explain.

#1: I don't want another Night Fury repaint. I get it. Night Furies are, by design, supposed to be the coolest dragons there are. And by proxy, everything that resembles a Night Fury is also super cool. But that's not what I'm going for. Also, in my opinion, any type of Fury just doesn't suit Tom's character.

#2: I designed Bolt with the soul prompt of "This is Tom's dragon." Bolt is specifically for Tom and his character as well as being a completely unique design within the Httyd universe.

I did the poll because I was a bit hesitant to shelf Ghost completely and thought hearing other people's opinions would help me decide, and in a way, it did.

If you want to know more about Bolt, his abilities, and personality, be sure to let me know.

Why so... smooth.

also if I'm gonna be honest. he looks a little bald. please give him more pointy things. spines, spikes, anything.

[justadragonnerd]

I 100% get where you're coming from, but I like him like this.

Him being "smooth" is just how I've always envisioned him.

I honestly can't even imagine how to add spines or other such features to him without it feeling wrong to me.

I've always imagined him as being "smooth", it's just how I've always envisioned him.

I honestly can't even start imagining how to add any spines or other such features to him.

Please let me know why you picked your choice! I want to hear your guy's opinions of my designs :)

[justadragonnerd]

Howdy!

And, wow.

Very clearly there is a want for some Sonic content here so I will start posting my Sonic The Hedgehog au on here.

But I must warn you that this is my own personal–and biased–take on a possible new iteration of the story and characters, so there's a good chance you might disagree or just straight up not like what I've done so far.

But if you do enjoy what I've made, then you are more than welcome to stay. And, as always, feel free to share ideas as long as it's done respectfully.

Hope you're ready for Sonic:Ray! I'll start posting the art I have so far and the lore/story tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by!

[justadragonnerd]

Howdy!

Would any of you care to see stuff from my Sonic The Hedgehog AU?

Yes

No

Poem be upon ye

Not Quite

I am not quite Wolf

And I am not quite Deer

I have a round flat nose

But sharp pointed ears

When gunshots ring

I hide in fear

But in a ring

My teeth become sheer

“An unholy beast!”

The herds all jeer

“What could that be?”

The packs all sneer

Gouges from hooves

Hide under thick skin

But piercing yellow eyes

Makes my strength wear thin

My hackles raised high

My tail tucked in

My hooves stomp earth

But my ears are pinned

“Why don't you howl?”

The questions begin

“Just be quiet!”

Stings sharp like toxin

And I am not quite Wolf

And I am not quite Deer

And such I am alone

And that, I most fear

[justadragonnerd]

Howdy!

I would like your guys' opinions on something that I've been struggling with. I know a lot of you really like my Nine Realms Rewrite, but the reason I started drifting away from it is this:

At what point does a rewrite stop being a rewrite?

What I mean by that is at what point does it just become its own thing? And would any of you really care about that?

I do kinda want to continue it, I'm just not sure if it's worth it anymore.

[justadragonnerd]

Howdy!

Here's a little Kinkajou sketch a did a while back, and I am posting it now to celebrate the news of her getting her own book! :D

I love her a lot :)

[justadragonnerd]

Howdy!

I'm just here to say "hi", know it's been a bit. I'm still struggling with my mental health but I am trying to work on things I can show you guys. And hopefully (hopefully) I'll be making some more progress on getting my YouTube channel up and running.

Hope you're all doing well. :)

[justadragonnerd]

Is the nine realms rewrite still going to happen?

Maybe, but for right now my own version of a modern Dragons series is my focus. I'll probably focus on it again at some point, I just can't guarantee when.

[justadragonnerd]

Howdy!

I'm still alive!

I know it's HTTYD's anniversary today, but unlike last year, I don't have a dedicated art piece ready nor the energy to make one. So, instead, I offer you more designs for my HTTYDxMHA crossover. (Reminder that these are for the characters and not the characters themselves)

(Click for better quality)

[justadragonnerd]

Howdy!

Fellow Dragon Nerds! I have a big question for you. Do you rather Dragon Rider stories or stories told from the perspective of the Dragon?

Dragon or Dragon Rider?

Dragon

Dragon Rider

Somewhere in between

Other (please tell me!)

Howdy!

I'm still alive. I'm just having some trouble with creating again.

As for my og HTYYD modern day story, I have some updates.

-I've named all the main characters and I'm now filling out their personalities and backgrounds

-I've decided to keep the name "Dragons:New World" from my second version of my tnr rewrite since I think it's suiting+ I'm keeping the name "Project Hel-Dive" for the facility/base, again, because I thinks it's suiting

I want to finish the main characters before I start designing their dragons, so it might be a while, but I'll try to keep you updated as well as I can

[justadragonnerd]

are there any non-dragons in your version of the hidden world?

in fact, I think you should probably make a map of the hidden world.

Howdy!

First of all, I would like to know what your definition of a "non-dragon" is so that I can give you a more accurate answer. Second of all, I will most likely make maps of certain parts of the hidden world. I'm not too sure about making a map of the whole thing since I imagine that it's pretty expensive

[citrusraptor1200]

what i mean is, are there any like. little critters like birds, lizards, snakes, frogs, rodents are such running around in the hidden world.

[justadragonnerd]

Ah, I see. Probably, but don't expect a lot. It'll probably just be a few invertebrates and some fish.
