Another attempt at an acrylic charm i will try to sell sometime in the coming months... I've never sold my art before and will be using ACGGoods. Will let u guys know more later...

On this charm design, the tail will swing!!! I want to make the DoD or some select popular characters with this little tail swingin' action...

Sunnaayyyyy

Gave her the DreamWorks face for that spunk factor.

Still chipping away at a Tsunami design I’m happy with. And her boyfriend’s here, too (and a smaller, earlier conceptual version of him). They’re a little too similar looking for my liking, so I’ll probably revisit Riptide and sharpen him up. I had another design for him I had forgotten about so I’ll probably merge the two.

Trying to lean into the “flowy” design motif for Tsunami, so her linework is supposed to be swept back and smooth. Riptide is supposed to have more of a jagged feel (riptide just feels like a jagged word to me), but he still has some friendly roundness to him. In the future, I want to make his horns sharper and his ‘hair’ a little more loose and playful looking. Yes, I did give him a little eyebrow notch.

Just wanted to post somethin

Clay and Starflight

This is going to be part of series of pride headcanons. Whether these all get done in June is another story but it don’t need to be pride month to post pride. I will also explain the flags I include even if it’s the most common flag out there, cause it ticks me off a little when I see a flag I don’t recognize and no one in the comments or post even states the name of it let alone the meaning. Anyways:

Clay is aroace - meaning he experiences little to no romantic or sexual attraction

Starflight is demiromantic - meaning he only experiences romantic attraction after forming an emotional connection with someone (many say that this is just regular attraction, but the best way to differentiate it is to say: The average person falls in love with another person while they get to know them. Demiromantic people fall in love only after getting to know the other person.)

"Obey Starclan, even if they isolate you, abuse you, manipulate you, lie to you. It's all your fault because you dare fall in love." —Moth Flight probably.

I could talk forever about how Starclan really does show the beliefs of the authors. Though there isn't one "God" in Starclan that created everything, Starclan very much is a parallel to Christianity. Nothing wrong with that, obviously, however it does seem like that's the case.

Anyway. I was thinking about how Leafpool is a victim of religious abuse. Usually religious abuse comes from people whom are alive, like your family members or priests or something of the like. In this case, since Starclan are just ancestors, she experienced abuse from Starclan themselves. They lied to her (saying to follow her heart when it came to Crowfeather, which she obviously interpreted as running away w/ him), manipulated her (and her sister to give up her kits), and threatened her with The Dark Forest. Threatened her and her sister even though they did everything to obey Starclan's will, to repent for their "sin". In my opinion it's even worse for Squirrelflight (not like it isn't bad for Leafpool either), who didn't even DO anything besides supporting her sister and obeying Starclan's will.

I feel like this punishment would have been so much worse if they kept with the "DF cats walk alone" idea. Leafpool and Squirrelflight are very close, separating them would be so cruel. But that already happened, didn't it? When Leafpool chose to stay in Starclan even though all they did was hurt her, and Squirrelflight chose to live. They separated them, even if it was the sisters' own choices, they still inadvertently separated them. It's so tragic, it makes me so sad. Now, Squirrelflight is leader with 9 lives. She'll have to wait even longer to finally see her sister, see Hollyleaf and her stillborn kits, too. Sure, she communicates with Starclan, but it isn't the same as being with them all the time in paradise. She will have to loose many other cats. Brambleclaw, Lionblaze, Jayfeather, maybe they'll die before she does?

Anyway back to Leafpool. I find her life tragic. She fell in love, had kits, she was punished because she's a Medicine Cat. We all know the rule, mostly the reasons for it, are stupid. Leafpool could easily take care of her kits. She has great babysitters on hand (Daisy, Squirrelflight, Sandstorm, Ferncloud, maybe even Firestar if he has the free time I'm sure he does (seriously what do Leaders do all day anyway?)) Moth Flight never had a support system because nobody liked her for some reason. I see so many people think the rule "makes sense" because of Moth Flight's story, and I'm sorry but I just cannot agree. Moth Flight had no support, she was the first medicine cat she had kits young. Leafpool also had kits young, but at least she had support. Though she was Thunderclan's only medicine cat, Daisy existed, Ferncloud existed, they could've helped her.

So, that's why I think the reason behind a Medicine Cat being bared from having a mate and kits should've just been "they should devoke their lives to Starclan" like in real life. It would've still been kinda stupid, but at least it has basis in irl religion. Whatever. Okay bye.

I beg of thy, paw tutorial please

Talons and Paws - The tutorial

Hi guys! The talon dragon will be administering this tutorial.

We’re going to talk a little bit about different tricks/references you can use to make nice paws and talons, as well as discussing the anatomical differences between them. This isn't a step-by-step tutorial, but it does include useful examples and quick poses for you to reference in a time of need.

Before we get into the details of the tutorial, remember two things: first of all, even the talon dragon isn’t the best anatomy expert ever. Secondly, dragons aren’t real and you can do whatever you want. Now, without further ado..

Let's get one thing straight: I (the talon dragon) draw appendages which anatomically fall somewhere in between human-like and cat-like, as seen in the chart above. While these sketches might look like they all use the same anatomy, they don't: and the ratio of human to cat is slightly different per design.

Those of you who love speculative biology might be crashing out about this, but inconsistency = practicality in the case of talons. Sometimes a pose needs opposable thumbs, sometimes it doesn't... as the artist, you can make your life easier by being flexible and swapping these features out at your discretion (I do this a lot with my artwork, since I have a tight turnaround for posts and don't want to fuck around drawing talons all day.)

I shall show you two ways of drawing talons: human-like and cat-like. That way you guys can learn how to do them with and without pronounced opposable thumbs.

Human-like talons are notably seen (kind of) in the graphic novels. Compared to a normal hand, they have shorter fingers, longer palms and large finger pads. You can even smack some paw pads on the bottom if you want to!

Instead of following a step-by-step tutorial, I recommend using the 'liquify' tool (can be found on most digital drawing apps) and trying to twist some human hands into a more draconic shape. This will help you familiarize yourself with the differences between talon and hand. I've tried it myself in the image above, alongside some annotations and a traced sketch of the final result which you can reference if you're struggling.

Feel free to play around with the length, width and stubbiness of your talons - squashing them brings out a paw-like shape, while stretching them creates a more traditional 'talon.' The paw pads also make a big difference on how your dragon's limbs are perceived.

Speaking of paw pads - you can also use cat/dog paws as references for your talons! Making these look draconic is a lot easier - I tend to over-pronounce the lumbrical muscles (those lines above the toes) and call it a day. Paws are much easier to simplify, and very handy when it comes to fullbodies/poses that don't require any specific talon-to-object interaction.

Although they save time, paws still have their own set of disadvantages - they lack room for accessories and tend to take away from the lizardness of the dragon. If you're looking to adhere to more reptilian proportions, paws are not for you.

Drawing talons is one thing - posing them is another! Most beginner artists tend to struggle more with where to put their talons, given how awkward a dragon's stance really is when looked at in plain view. These bent-lightning-bolt shapes have served me well over the years, creating dynamic movement while still being easy to draw.

And of course - if you don't like drawing talons, you don't HAVE to! (At least, not every single time.) While I recommend facing your problems (talons) head on, even I cheat sometimes.

Good luck dragon artists! Sincerely, The talon dragon.
