I recently learned how to do Viking style knotwork, and now my power is immeasurable >:V

Anyway, have a logo that I’ve been working for the past week or so for my DC DragonVerse AU! Been a while since I did some true and blue graphic design, and I’m really proud of how this turned out!

Listen child, lest you forget

I shall watch you hidden in the shadows

I shall challenge you for your understanding of self

And when the time is right, I shall take you with me

For I am the Morrígan…I am the Raven Queen.

Some belated art of my girl Lilith MacMurrough, another character in my DragonVerse.

Shoutout to @tamberella and her city brushes + demo; they helped out tremendously in this process!

And many thanks to @gwrachseren​, who drew Lilith’s design originally!

Spent the last few weeks working on a redesign for one of my personal dragon characters, who as of this time is almost five years old. No matter what, he will always be my forever baby, along with his human charge, and I’m finally glad I landed on a look that suits him ;;V;;

So this has been on my mind for a little bit now and kind of bugging me, and I want to get this off my chest before it eats me up.

To address the elephant in the room, yes, I am fully aware of the fact that Season 2 of The Owl House has premiered. I watched the official release of “Separate Tides” as well as some clips from “Escaping Expulsion”, and words cannot describe how overjoyed I am.

That being said, I’m sure some of my followers and mutuals, both on here and other platforms, have been wondering about the lack of TOH content despite the premiere, especially in regards to my Wildborn AU on my @wildborn-witch sideblog.

I want to confirm with certainty that I DO plan on drawing stuff for TOH again, and definitely still want to work on Wildborn…but the latter I kinda left to sit on the back burner specifically because I wanted to wait and see how Season 2 panned out. I want to still adhere to canon, or at least parts of it to where it still makes sense, so while I’m still eager to get back to work, I want to be patient.

I’ve also been falling back into other fandoms which I was in prior to TOH, as you’ve probably seen with my recent DC DragonVerse posts and the related character designs/revamps. Those are my forever children whom I’ve had for years, and they’ve been neglected for far too long ;;A;;

So just to summarize, I do plan to submerge myself in TOH again, but for now I’m just sticking my feet in, whilst also attending to other projects that I hold near and dear to my heart. I hope everyone understands, and I hope you all have an excellent day!

DragonVerse: Draco

“Orphaned in his childhood and raised by a dragon, Kevin is caught amid the struggle of two worlds, yet takes it upon himself to be the bridge between them. He knows peace is possible,  proven multiple times over by his bond with his guardian Teighenth, yet he has yet to realize that the stakes are higher than he ever could have imagined.”

Sequel to my last post from a couple days ago, I figured it was high time I introduced you all to Kevin, my DC Comics fan character as of four years now along with his draconic guardian Teighenth. I’ve been EXTREMELY hesitant about sharing him, since his storyline is one I’ve been developing the most in the background, and it’s still a major work-in-progress, but I’ve gotten him to the point where I’m comfortable enough to make him public knowledge.

If you have any questions about him, I DO have a bio (albeit a bit unfinished) I can share, and whatever isn’t immediately present there, I’m happy to answer myself. That being said, I hope you all enjoy!

Bonus: A better look at his rune circle here!

I. Wing Traits or lack thereof of Elemental Dragons

Aether: Large, sail-like wings, structured similarly in the appearance of a star. Less for powered, high speed flight and more for soaring/intimidation.

Wind: A bit more variation in these, but mostly structured for sustained speed. Bird-like wings make up the majority of this element.

Fire: Broad wings, best suited for catching hot updrafts of air, found aplenty near volcanoes, cliffs and deserts.

Water: As the majority of this element consists of lung/Oriental dragons, wings are rare. Those that do possess them tend to have wings specially structured for both swimming and flying (excluding Leviathans, who spend all their life in the sea) and consequently resemble fins.

Earth: VERY rare for this element, and even those that have them tend to be too top heavy to be used for flight. Thus, these wings have evolved to become secondary arms, often muscular and used for digging through rock/soil, as well as combat.

Ok, so I know I’ve been posting a lot of DragonVerse related art frequently, but I don’t think I’ve ever really talked about it on here. I’m thinking about setting up an FAQ on another sideblog like I did for Wildborn, but what questions do you guys have, if any at all?

For context/reminder: DragonVerse is my personal ongoing AU project for the past few years centered within DC Comics, featuring these two kiddos of mine as the central protagonists.

II. All-Mother — Tóngqíng and her Descendants

• All Orientals—lung, yong, ryū, and naga—definitively trace their lineage back to the Titan Tóngqíng, the accepted story of their creation being that they were all shaped from wisps of rainwater as it blew along with the wind, forming ribbons before eventually descending into bodies of water.

• From the outside looking in, however, there is some confusion regarding certain differences between the breeds, an example being the toe count — the Chinese lung have five toes, the Korean yong have four, the Japanese ryū have three, and the Southeast Asian nāga tend to possess none at all, often having no limbs to speak of.

• From a human cultural perspective, this is explained as their respective dragons having originated from their homeland, either gaining or losing traits such as these as they moved farther away. For the other dragon tribes, as Tóngqíng is accepted to be the master of shapeshifting and magic, and possesses five toes herself, it’s thought to be an indicator of her children’s proficiency, to be able to shape themselves and their surroundings however they see fit.

• It is easy to forget, however, that Tóngqíng is their ultimate ancestor, and possesses all of their traits. She is the All-Mother, and loves all her children unconditionally—none are favored more than the other, and she had no direct hand in why they look different, for the differences do not matter. They are all hers, they all inherited a part of her, and thus they are all the same.
