Shadow Dragon Introduction: ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ ‎‎‎‎‎‎ 🩸Nameless

Thank you to @shadow-dragon-week and @sketchytea for the template!

My other Shadow Dragon has no name. They have no past. No presence. No future. Call me as you like is typically how they introduce themself. From 'Falon' to 'Hollix', this Rook has accrued various names over the years, yet few know much of anything else, and with good reason.

R̵͈̰̦͍͚̠̫̍͆́̑̆Ë̶̙́͊͐͗̍̔͘D̴̼̮͛̅̓̾̕͝A̸̦̻͈̻̓̄̑C̸͙̀T̴̪̞̮̽̒̈͑̃̓͝E̶͖̜̗̙̰̟͌͒̄ͅD̴͚͎͎̼͈͕̔̈́͆̈̃́ has been training in magical art and theory for as long as they can remember. Under the tutelage of one of the Circle's most up-and-coming scholars, Laetan Averius, and his vast network of academic connections, magic became their whole world. Literally. Kept under lock and key, R̵͈̰̦͍͚̠̫̍͆́̑̆Ë̶̙́͊͐͗̍̔͘D̴̼̮͛̅̓̾̕͝A̸̦̻͈̻̓̄̑C̸͙̀T̴̪̞̮̽̒̈͑̃̓͝E̶͖̜̗̙̰̟͌͒̄ͅD̴͚͎͎̼͈͕̔̈́͆̈̃́ was one of countless elves under Averius' rule. Yet they remained oblivious to the circumstances of their upbringing for many, many years due to extreme isolation and the focused attention of their captor.

One breakout attempt, one casualty, and one world-shattering realization later, Nameless found themself taken in by the Shadow Dragons. Their sadness and anger moulded into a weapon and pointed back at men like the one who raised them.

Fighting fire with fire had never been part of Nameless' philosophy - in fact they hadn't used fire magic since their liberation - but, despite Averius' fondness for pyromancy, his collaboration with the Venatori revealled his vested interest in the study of blood magic. When given the oppotunity to confront him during a failing mission, Nameless faltered. Despite their lifelong studies, the Laetan overwhelmed them with ease. And with blood spilled and their world fading to black, Nameless was left with a choice: to give in, or resist by any means necessary.

In the aftermath, they were let go from the Shadow Dragons quietly and without fuss, many assuming they had died with the rest of their team. Some years later they returned to Minrathous, working mostly independantly but on occassion collaborately with the Threads or doing personal favours for Ashur and Dorian (to Tarquin's chargrin).

RRAU: Nameless is heavily involved in RP spaces. As such I'm more invested in their non-canon relatiionships (they're canon in my heart):

✨VGen Application Post✨

I'm keen to enter an art space that's firm in it's boundaries regarding AI and being pro-human, not pro-profit-by-any-means. I've been drawing for almost 20 years, studied animation, and work/engage in that industry regularly. Engagement with this post will grant my entry into this new space, so every like, reblog, and reply is tremendously appreciated. Now for the tasty bit: art!

☝️ Collab piece. Responsible ONLY for background, colouring and rendering. Sketch credit to @/btbty24, and lineart credit to @/ennanas.

A gift for @starlightarchery for our secret Santa art exchange.

I had so much fun drawing this and taking part in the secret Santa. Viridian and Hope are so beautiful I’m glad I was able to do them justice 🥰

The lore for these characters is so good I eat up every single rp reply and their efforts to reunite after Weisshaupt had me HOOKED!! Thank you Rey and Evan for your amazing character work and trusting me (kinda, you didn’t know it was me but still) to capture them on canvas. 💚

Viridian belongs to @starlightarchery and Hope belongs to @evans-endeavors

your new literature professor has arrived, are you paying attention during his lecture - yes or no? 🤣

a little modern AU fun with my grey warden rook, Viridian Sirocco

edit: idk what tumblr's got against the color red, but it sure did absolutely destroy the warmth of this piece, holy crap

" You need to relax."

being on the run is stressful, but at least the view is pretty 👀 a little cowboy AU fun for Ruskin and Nameless (who belongs to @linposter)

the more i look at this the more i'm really really proud of it - it really is like, the perfect testament to how far my art has come even in just the last year, let alone compared to when i first started. getting better at celebrating milestones like this 😊
