hi. i draw things! art posted here will be a wild mix, but there's very little fanart - unless you count a smattering of ffxiv stuff

[christinaplaysflightrising]

oh shit i've just been robotically bonding with familliars, and periodically opening chests and then immediately hatching any eggs i get and...

!!!

in my stupid quest to hatch one primal of every flight, this was one of the last two left

and one i wanted the most because lightning was my original flight

and those colors look nice and fitting?

afraid to go look at the tert

[christinaplaysflightrising]

oooh, idk what terts would work off the top of my head, but i know they exist

christina's dragon Unnamed

Breed, raise, and train dragons on Flight Rising!

if anybody wants to help scry

(only rule is all my primals are perma-babies)

[mlokingbird]

do you want to keep them a noc? or would you be ok with a breed change (an ancient could have some cool genes to add)

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

[mloking]

what if i started being weird again

[hellielives]

[mlokingbird]

HEY NOW DONT'T MAKE IT A THREAT

As promised, it’s finally here! Thank you to all of my patrons for not only the support that made this possible, but for giving me the confidence to work on a big project like this.

Rather than providing any drawing instruction, what this writeup aims to do is help you learn to unpack the decisions being made in a given composition, and articulate what elements in a piece are responsible for its impact. Being able to isolate these qualities in your own art and art that inspires you opens up avenues for improvement regardless of medium, style, or technical skill. This is the first of hopefully many PWYW art ‘tutorials’ from me. 

I hope you all enjoy!

With the new episodes of Courier's Call coming out... I've been doing some drawing practice with my beloved weirdo Calhoun. The cowboy boots are intentional, and no. I don't really know how to draw them yet. Overall, I'm really happy with how these came out! Feels good to be playing around with them again!

I made a tutorial about painting street scenes! As a character artist, I found these kind of things so hard to paint at first - I just didn’t know where to start and felt overwhelmed by all of the details. But I found an easy and efficient workflow that consists of 4 main steps! My latest tutorial runs you through each step and gives tips and advice for creating urban speedpaintings. You can get it for just $5 - head on over to my patreon to get access ✨

oh that post went to the wrong blog sorry folks

I love in science fiction when something’s an array. The sensor array. The navigational array. Weapons array. Goddamn, yes. Get that shit in an array.
