The Sky's The Limit

(Ask box is OPEN) (Requests are CLOSED) (Please don't send me donate asks, I can't do anything about them) Hello and welcome to my blog!! I'm a self taught traditional/digital artist who loves to draw dragons and write stories. Feel free to reblog my art if you like! ^^

[sapphire-the-dragon]

Hello all!

I don’t really have a main focus here haha, i just really enjoy drawing me and friend’s ocs so you will likely see that most of the time. I may make fanart of things that interest me though. My art mostly is just sketches and will likely be traditional, but I will throw in a colored piece every now and again ^^

I will take requests from time to time, so if they’re open feel free to send a request to my inbox! (Please keep in mind however that I will not draw NSFW, political/hate art, or anything LGBTQ+ related. thank you!)

Requests are currently: closed

I have a few other blogs if you’re interested in visiting as well:

(^ This is where I post questions about my ocs and their lore. I take asks on my main acc or there, feel free to ask me or my ocs directly if you’re curious)

(^ this is more of a work in progress but it’s basically info on my fictional species, WereCreatures. Nothings really set in stone there yet, I more have basic concepts of my story lore to keep myself organized)

(^incorrect quotes of me and my friends Hylian Hoonter and @mak-layne-yt’s ocs)

Thanks so much for visiting my blog, hope you have a good day/night!

Made a few rough sketches for this post, if anyone wants me to clean these up and color them let me know in the comments! ^^

Been working on Claira’s full dragon form, and how she will shift between that and her typical form

[multiversalsiblingquotes]

Claira: Wait a second…

Claira: If I’M crashing out…

Kaidan: And I’m crashing out…

Claira and Kaidan in unison: Who’s locking in?

Can you draw your OC (Claira) as a furry/human version for 30 days challenge? In my opinion your character looks the same as furry. But I‘m wondering what she would looks if she were a human

Not good at drawing humans but I think this turned out pretty well!! Claira actually has a human form in canon, and uses it when she needs to blend in with society. I know I make it hard to tell but she’s actually not a furry, the form you see her the most in is a shapeshifter-like tactic she uses for convenience since her “true” form is too large to function in a mundane lifestyle in most cases. It’s her way of being herself while being fun size, or as her many enemies like to say, “revealing the monster within”. ;3

thanks so much for the prompt!!

hihi!! I know it’s been a hot minute since I’ve asked you anything, but I saw some questions while scrolling the depths of tumblr and I got curious, how would Elvira answer the questions below if you want to answer?

Thanks so much for indulging me haha, hope you have a good day/night!

Hihi! Oh my stars, I can't believe that it's literally been five days sent you sent this 😭. I promise I wasn't ignoring you, I've just been SO busy that I genuinely haven't had a minute to sit down and do anything I've wanted to until now lol. I'll go ahead and answer these for ya (it's taken me long enough anyway)

8. Elvira would NOT react well, considering that was back when she was The Angel. So if somebody suddenly approached her with the knowledge of who she was, much less a photo to prove it, she would freak out on them. And by freak out, I mean turn Ultra Scary™ mode, shred and burn the photo, and threaten to erase their existence entirely and make everybody forget about them if they EVER spread that information. After all, her identity as Elvira is supposed to be COMPLETELY separate from The Angel. NOBODY is supposed to know who she was or EVER make a connection to that. Seeing that photo would give her extreme traumatic flashbacks, resulting in her behavior.

9. Esperanza, Perry for short. As a little tribute of sorts.

10. Elvira HATES people seeing her vulnerable, and crying is 100% a sign of vulnerability in her books. It means she's slipping up, that her mask is cracking. And she desperately depends on having that mask up 24/7, because it's her key to survival. So she would do anything to conceal the fact she is crying and immediately disappear, along with throw some attitude at people to ensure that they don't think anything of her sudden disappearance--which, of course, wouldn't work. But yeah, she hates it.

Thank you again so much for your ask, and I'm super sorry it took me so long to answer. I really appreciate seeing your asks in my inbox, they truly make my day! I hope you have a wonderful day/night! :]

[sapphire-the-dragon]

ooo I love these!! And I totally get it haha, life can be crazy sometimes and it’s okay if you don’t answer me right away. Thanks so much for indulging me lol, it’s always awesome to hear about your stories!!! ^^

Chibi + fav food for the 30 days ocs thing??

Here ya go! Sorry it took a minute haha, chibi’s a hard style for me but I think it turned out okay :3

Claira’s favorite beverage is brown sugar boba tea!! She has quite the sweet tooth lol

30 days of your OC Challenge!

I wanted to make a set of OC prompts that's a bit unique, so I came up with 30 loose ideas and compositions to draw/get drawn of your OC! :D

It doesn't have to take 30 days, in fact you could easily use this as an ask game prompt if you want, or even ideas to take to your favorite local commissions artist to do for you :> Just 30 little ideas to appreciate an OC of yours!

~If you like my art, please consider supporting me on Kofi~

and please try not to repost, I have it up on Blusky too

[sapphire-the-dragon]

if anyone’s interested, send me whatever prompt you want from this post in my inbox and I’ll draw my oc Claira for it!! I think it would be a fun way to stretch my skills as an artist and you may get some lore on her too, depending on the prompt ;3

I’ve already made her reference so I guess that can’t technically be requested haha. If you wanna get a feel for who you’re sending prompts for, it’s under the cut:

Old art jump scare!!

I found these practically ancient concepts of Claira while I was digging through the depths of my art supplies lol

also have a concept of Mae and Claira from back then vs now:

It’s always nice to know that I’m not where I used to be skill wise when it comes to this. Going back to look at your old art can really help rebuild confidence ^^

fairly new concept of Claira’s species, Ikrystalu that I’m working on. Trying to make them more bird coded

[baddbyrne]

okay not to ocpost again but the worst thing about having an oc is sometimes they become The Character to you. and you need to talk to someone about it like wow I can’t stop thinking about The Character… but in order to do so you have to like sit them down and explain everything about your oc first. and then it’s just you explaining your writing ideas. i need to talk about them the same way i would talk about any random character i love to someone.

[sapphire-the-dragon]

thanks so much for the 50+ followers, have the rare sight of Claira genuinely smiling as a treat ^^

[multiversalsiblingquotes]

Kaidan: What are you eating? Claira: You wouldn't like it, it's really salty. Kaidan: I like you, don't I?

[dragonartist-3d]

Hey! I just wanted to say I really like your art, you draw really well and your ocs are really cool ^^. I’m curious, could you tell me a bit about your world building? Like what kind of creatures exist in your world and such haha. Excited to see more from you, hope you have a good day/night!!

Hi, thank you for the compliments! I have too many creatures to name them all to be honest! A few different worlds as well.

The series with my book have a very long list of creatures, having most of them to be honest. No unique naming—dwarves, elves, ogres, merfolk, humans, critters, dragons (supposedly extinct), angels, demons, goblins, gremlins, fairies, giants, leviathans and much more.

I have a few gods as well. There's Nezrielkanira, the god of dragons and vampires, who is quite honestly just the mortal form of the world's creator. Other gods were sourced from him in some of my worlds.

All of my dragons in any world follow the same set of rules and lore, powers based on coloration and age and the like.

Thanks for the ask! Feel free to ask more, rambling is fun...and enjoyers of httyd and wof are very welcome here!

Claira’s reference sheet is officially done!! This took a hot minute but I’m very happy with the results ^^. In this ref she’s 18 years old since it’s the “current” part of the timeline, though she will look like this most of her life with some minor aging. This particular version of Claira will be the one I use to answer asks with, if anyone wants to directly ask her anything
