two character designs I sold on Instagram!! they are beautiful…

MONKEY YURI

another piece I owed to haavekulma on toyhouse/instagram !! these characters belong entirely to them. what a blast to draw though. I’ve never tried my hand at monkey characters prior to this shippy piece. let alone monkeys with guns..

Birthday gift art for my DEAR friend Koda !! Though you may know them as Khidae on Instagram

this is their character Mimir, a fallen god of chaos and mischief!! he was very fun to depict and gave me a reason to play with shading, something I haven’t done in some time now. beautiful feller

a remastered design for my buddy haavekulma on toyhouse! this character was one I initially designed but I got to give them a new coat of paint this time and I’m happy with the results. they’re a sky/hive hybrid with distant seawing ancestry, and have a cool asymmetrical design I enjoyed playing with

I cut hair at a salon and have clients of all ages, often kids. Had a kid the other day (a girl who was probably 11 or 12) telling me about her favorite medias. We started by talking about the wonderful works of Kipo and The Owl House before she revealed she just started getting into Wings of Fire.

Interest piqued, I asked what book she’s reading now, and she admitted she’d just finished Escaping Peril — not only that, but that she had ONLY read Escaping Peril. My first thought was ‘what a terrible choice to start with, having no prior context’ (in MY opinion, just given the ultra climaxing events of that book that mean a lot more to someone who has read up to that point). Of course I didn’t say this, but I let her tell me about the book as if I hadn’t read it multiple times.

Seeing the dragon world through the eyes of a new reader and a naive child is both illuminating and frustrating. It challenged my difficulty to be patient about things that mean so much to me, but I powered through. I did not correct her on her misinterpreted perception of the events or the character dynamics, and I did not spoil or ruin any part of her personal and raw experience of the story. However, I did finally step in when she corrected ME on the pronunciation of Peril: “It’s pronounced ‘PEARL’”.

“No,” I responded very gently, “it’s pronounced Peril. It’s a word that means ‘danger’, which is what Queen Scarlet meant to convey when she named her that.”

“But, Peril isn’t dangerous, she’s just misunderstood.” And while I appreciate her sentiment about the complex character arc that is Peril of the SkyWings, it was difficult not to point out the blatant fact that she was a firescales and was inherently one of the deadliest dragons to exist.

Regardless it was reassuring to see that kids are still interested in dragon books, and now I’m cool for being the hairstylist that knows WoF and not the dorky fifth grader who drew nothing but dragons for a year.🤝

SASHIMI! my pink shark plant dragon!

one of few ocs i own who is completely outside of wings of fire. drew/designed her years ago and rediscovered her in my camera roll so i decided to give her a touch up and reconnect!! many thanks to my beloved instagram followers for helping me name her 🩷

she’s a blast to draw. the leaf patterns on her body are tedious but worth it. i’ll probably never make them that detailed again though lol

also got to try out new brushes for this fun piece! i’m letting this inspire me to draw my non-wof critters a bit more

[tabbykisses]

Thomas and Pike! my guys

made these two ocs long ago when my ex and i were gonna write a story. ex and story no longer here BUT Thomas and Pike reign supreme. going to flesh out their world more eventually!

Thomas is a young librarian who is a very eager writer and clever rascally kinda guy. Pike is the local fisher’s son who is kind of a recluse, though otherwise polite. One day Pike visits the library for something random and meets Thomas, the first cat to truly make him laugh in years. can you blame him if he falls for a silly light academia blonde?

the last two are their original refs, drawn sometime in 2023. the first is my most recent drawing of them (this week)

Corvid appreciation doodle compilation <3

drew (and minorly redesigned) my OC Corvid after being reminded of a short story i wrote in his POV, which is posted as a literature on my toyhouse! i highly recommend reading it, especially bc of the context it’ll give you for most of these drawings. for something i wrote two years ago, i still find it really entertaining and cool

every time i reread my own works i get a newfound love for my characters and it fills me with joy. i wuv him so much…

check out inside the spire :) it’s got toxic yaoi kinda!

Rush and Gloam

two mud hybrid boys i dug out of the archives with my bare hands !! Rush is an ollddd characters i obtained and drew many years ago, and Gloam is an even older design i got on toyhouse and finally gave a redesign! they are brothers now, and I’ve revised them to be Mud/Sea/Night because im a tribrid fiend…

they’re going to be magic students of some kind but i haven’t altogether decided what they’ll study. their dynamic is all i really have written down; Rush is down-to-earth and curious while Gloam is anxious and very flaky. they’d be great 80s sitcom mad scientist style lab partners

[tabbykisses]

poniez !

drew these 3 as warm up for some owed bc i felt rusty with horsies and wanted the practice. enjoyed the hell out of it and frankly love these renditions i’ve given these three goobers ! don’t take any of it too seriously, it was just a fun reimagining project. maybe i’ll draw the rest of the mane six next? lmk because idk if i have an audience for mlp art

did three different kinds of wavy/curly hair with these and i honestly don’t love drawing curly hair but i think the experiment helped me a lot so it was worth it

also just realized i forgot fluttershy’s wings, pls ignore it, she is an earth pony just for today

[tabbykisses]

cats from halloween! a small batch of adopts i posted that were loosely halloween themed / inspired. i enjoy drawing warriors dearly, i just do it a lot less than dragons ❤️‍🩹

most of these have been sold and therefore no longer belong to me!

[tabbykisses]

Mud Sibs !!1!

small collection of mudwing siblings who are princes/princesses in my wof AU! they are NOT directly related to canon whatsoever.

this post includes Henna, Mallow, Katniss and Geode, whom I love! Mallow is an ANCIENT oc from the eons ago when I first started drawing wof dragons (circa 2014-ish). she’s gotten several redesigns, but i’ve finally placed her here and gave her a fresh new coat! the other three are characters i obtained from different users on toyhouse and have since redesigned to fit into my story!

luv drawing dragon royals i will be back with more

and she’d say this in response to her mother (the famed author) as like a gotcha moment. i can see it now

iruka and ren lore 💥 posted this on my spam bc i love my lore junk and worldbuilding dumps, i hope you do too <333

plan on doing a lot more like this, they’re a blast and a good way to post concise but visually pleasing tidbits of story for my loving followers and millions of fans

[tabbykisses]

peak artfight attacks from 2025, my personal faves 😋

[tabbykisses]

arrrggh tumblr only allows 10 images so i couldn’t include the very first slide BUT it didn’t include dialogue so you’re not missing a ton. character comic! ft Queen Condor and Ibis, ocs from my AU. there’s a lot of context. basically just blame these guys for the war that starts a few months later
