Aldarius is a character I made while I was thinking about the various dragons and creating characters to go with each type. Aldarius is a powerful golden dragon with very humble origins. Wanted to demonstrate here his ability to use magic to control ice, fire, and lightning. In particular, he's using his tail as a flaming sword.
Wanted to get him made for Golden Week, but a little late. Still, hope people enjoy!
Been having fun with Smaugust, but it put a couple pictures in the pipeline that I'm struggling to get done with quicker. So I wanted to do some headshots of other dragons. Wanted to experiment with giving them my own look.
Obsidian dragons are highly intelligent, reclusive, and subsequently quite mysterious. They have psionics like other gem dragons, and tend to also have powerful fire magic. Their affinity for fire even tends to put them around volcanoes. Otherwise, they prefer dark places, which of course are fantastic for camouflaging their ebony hides.
Brown dragons are sometimes mistaken for the weakest of the chromatics. In truth, most brown dragons adventurers are likely to encounter are juveniles that dig through deserts and grasslands, sometimes being mistaken for adults. Adults are usually adept enough to avoid contact when near the surface. Otherwise, accounts of adults usually place them further in the earth or in caves. Brown greatwyrms are another matter. Rumors circulate that they tend to congregate towards the core of the planet, with them being among the largest and most powerful dragons. They can rival the dragon gods, if not surpass them. But that's only a legend...
Steel dragons are strong, hardy dragons, with extremely durable hides. Like all dragons, they are omnivores, but tend to prefer a mix of vegetation and ore. Steel dragons are some of the few that even seek out human contact, making lairs close to towns and cities. They have access to breath weapons and magic like other dragons, but tend to lean into their physical prowess. They can use their durability to attempt maneuvers other dragons wouldn't without magic, such as flying at high speeds and simply ramming into their target like an aerial freight train.
Continuing Smaugust with a fleshed out version of the white dragon bust I made some time ago. I really liked the design and wanted to make him into a character. So, here's Kor Ix!
He's well adapted to northern regions, even an adept swimmer who often swims through arctic waters. Liked the idea of white dragons being more marine than usual!
For Smaugust, I wanted to be drawing more dragons. Sorta thought I'd be going faster, but I wound up spending more time on this one than I thought.
Wanted to flesh out the design of the Amethyst gem dragon I made recently. Really wanted to see how it looked in full!
Also decided to give him a name. Currently calling him Dominarctos. I think he can use light energy to project beams from the gems, creating pseudo-light sabers.
Actually been making a couple characters from some of the dragons. Hopefully you'll get to see!
After seeing the updated designs by RJ Palmer, decided to draw the gem dragons, like I've done for the metallic and chromatic dragons. Never really expected to make these ones since at the time, they didn't seem to get as much attention as the others, but I got the urge to do it so I thought I may as well.
Faves are definitely Amethyst and Sapphire for this set. Amethyst I leaned into design tropes I like and I enjoy how sleek Sapphire feels. uwu
Also fond of Emerald, and I like to imagine Crystal as a gentle giant. Topaz was frustrating as it felt difficult to find a personality for. Hopefully the seahorse-like design I chose gets across it's somewhat pessimistic personality.
A character I made recently called Ultra Solaris. Wanted to give him star and galaxy patterns, as well as a blue and red color scheme.
Something for myself to keep optimistic.
Random inking practice of Gossamer from Looney Tunes.
Angel designs
Came up with them a little bit ago, just got into a mood to design angels.
Final entry in the PokeMonster Hunter series, Luxray!
Next in my PokeMonster Hunter series is Samurott!
Second part of my PokeMonster Hunter series, Sceptile!
A while ago I started trying to design Pokemon into the Monster Hunter style. Starting this small series off with Charizard!
Swampy boi =w=
I hade a Serperior sketch that I decided to add color to. Wanted to give Serperior a face similar to a long-nose whip snake, with a constrictor body. Still very happy with it! uwu
This has been in the works for a hot minute. In Moon I used a Litten I named Naoto. I eventually evolved him into Incineroar.
Took a while to finish this, I think the flames in particular were a challenge for me. Glad to finally finish it, tho!
Laeus Greymon/ReusGreymon from the new Monster Hunter/Digimon collab that was just revealed. I couldn't help but draw this design, it's so cool!
Just thinking about red eyes black dragon. Would love to see a new card for them.
