Meese's FR blog

Hello! I'm Meese, I'm a concept artist from Greece. This is where I yell about dragons and post my FR art! Earth Flight | 29 | she/her - FR lair

I wanna draw stupid dragon game shit again but I'm too busy rendering assets for our game. I miss drawing silly stuff and shit for myself. The elemental horseys are awesome

She's also married, has kids, and a fleet of ships. I love my stinky fodder daughter

Damn never thought I'd be in the whining and whinging crowd because these devs get way too much fucking shit but I hate FR's loss of ID with this overhaul. Big huzza for the state changes (hover states my fucking BELOVEDS) and the art updates but the choice of fonts and some of the restructuring is really leaving me baffled. It's like giving googoo gaga Apple-store guardrails to Linux enthusiasts.

do you have any tips on how to improve rendering? I always feel like my renders don't look very smooth

Experimenting with brushes, and honestly? Time! Rendering certain materials just takes a while.

I use a lot of textured brushes when I'm in the early stages of a piece. Helps create a base 'wash' and visual noise early that can carry over once you start tightening things up more later in the process. I gravitate towards watercolour and blown up pencil brushes early, switching to actual paint brushes mid-way.

Not sure if this is what you're dealing with, but when I had to deal with less 'smooth' or muddy rendering in the past it ended up being an unclear value range and a lack of well-planned rimlights/shadows.

The colouring contest I ran finished and I'm SO impressed with everyone's work! People did phenomenal and so many folks joined in on the fun! I really want to run another one in the future, I enjoyed it immensely. So cool to see everyone's takes on the same lineart. First entry belongs to (FR) Humdrum, second one belongs to (FR) Urmille (@ceticalys) and third belongs to (FR) Cricara!

You can see and vote for the rest of the entries that didn't place here, since we're also running a fourth place for a fan favourite! I highly suggest you look at everyone's gorgeous work in the thread itself first, since everything is so compressed and small in the polls, it'd be a shame to not see folks' paintings in all their glory.

BE NOT AFRAID

Literally as I'm about to leave for an Earth vacation, my flight beckons me. What are the odds lol

would YOU 🫵 accept him?

Now that I started being okay with AU or non-FR world canon dragon tabs I really wanna make up a small world with like... opposing fairies and goblins + adjacent magical critters that fit that world. Where the goblins are swampy/fruit/vegetable related creatures with darker greens and more contrasting colour palletes, and the fairies are more floral/pastel/fairy or celestial themed. Go really ham into the power of friendship, simplistic dark-light theme for 80's-90's 'classical' fantasy tropes like what you'd see in Labyrinth or the Dark Crystal.

I LOVE when dark/evil fractions get to look like they've been gathering dust in the closet for a decade or are just unapologetically, cackling mean lil' guys, and the 'good' guys are naive and sweet idiots.

Not the type of storytelling sandbox I get to play in at all, because in my head everything I have to make needs to have 'layers' or 'depth' and can't be one-dimensional, but idk, doing an AU with the complexity of a my little pony toy commercial for the vibes and aesthetic sounds like so much fun to me lol

I have like a million skin and accent ideas for this, especially for hatchlings. Got into the idea after I started collecting G1s to make a pumpkin patch themed lair tab, but I prefer them being creatures/characters, and not just a dragon with pumpkins slapped on top, or just a dragon that looks like an object/pumpkin.

Drawing canon Veilspun sizes? Not in this house we don’t.

 I’m SO happy with how this com came out! I currently have two commission slots open!

[blushingtendertiel]

So using the circus scene on a veilspun with the canon size differences in the audience is really fucking funny bc it should look like this

Fucking flea circus

[meesefr]

This is literally why I ignore 90% of official FR lore and sizing. Like what the fuck.
